Summary
Within easy reach of both Jaipur and Agra, Ranthambore National Park is a superb add-on to India’s Golden Triangle for anyone who has ever dreamed of seeing a Bengal tiger in the wild. One of the world’s premier spots for tiger safaris, the park’s game drives reveal an increasingly rare side to India. It’s one where not only tiger, but also leopard, jungle cats, hyenas and wild dogs all roam free amid tree cover which has been protected in one form or another for close to a thousand years. Guided tours of Ranthambore also take in the fort after which the park is named, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of grand entranceways and princely courtyards.
