One of Northern India's largest and most well-known national parks is Ranthambore. The park is situated around 130 kilometers from Jaipur in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeast Rajasthan.

The Ranthambore National Park landscape, which was once regarded as one of the renowned and former hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, is now a significant wildlife tourist destination that has attracted the interest of many wildlife photographers and lovers.

But in 1973, the sanctuary was established as part of Project Tiger to safeguard tigers due to the ongoing decline in tiger numbers.

To ensure the success of project Tiger, stricter guidelines and regulations were developed. A significant change was made in 1980 when 282.03 square kilometers of this sanctuary were designated as national parks. Following this, the government reduced the amount of forest produce it collected.

An excellent outcome was attained thanks to the government's ongoing support for Project Tiger and the Tiger Conservation Reserve. In the 2014 census, there were 60 tigers recorded. Additionally, this area quickly rose to the top for viewing wildlife, particularly tigers in their native habitat.

About 40 different mammal species, 320 different bird species, 40 different reptile species, 50 different butterfly species, and 300 different plant species exist.

The regal Tiger, which is also the top predator in this area, is the most important and coveted mammal of this reserve park. The Ranthambore Reserve Park's other large cats are the Leopard, Leopard Cat, Desert Cat, Caracal, Fishing Cat, and Jungle Cat.

The abundance of rare bird species that may be found here makes it a bird watcher's heaven. The vivid waterfowl around the lake, the majestic Indian eagle soaring above, or the vulture sitting high in the tree are all breathtaking sights for birders. The Ranthambore forest is home to around 300 species of resident and migratory birds. A few of them include the Kingfisher, the Painted Spurfowl, the Sarus Crane, the big Cormorant, the Bronzed Winged Jacana, the Sandpiper, the Nightjar, the Great Horned Owl, the Painted Sandgrouse, and numerous others.

The Jaipur International Airport, which is situated about 160 kilometers from the forest, is the closest airport to Ranthambore. The Ranthambore forest is directly connected to cities like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Kota by a route that passes close by. Kota is then connected to all of India's major cities.
