Sightseeing :
Ranthambhor national park is situated 14 kms. From sawai
madhopur.the park derives its name from the ranth-ambhor fort
situated witin its precincts.
The park is a remarkable example of precariously balanced arid
ecosystem surrounded by the vindhyas and the aravalis admst vast
arid and denuded tracts of the desert ecology of rajsthan, lies the
oasis of bidmass, the ranthambhor national park spread over an area
of 392 Sq Kms of thick forest nullas and waterfalls.
The vegetation of the park is the tropical dry deciduous and
tropical thorn forest types due to its hilly tract water is confined
to narrow valleys and some lakes. Important tree species include
dhok, flame of the forest, ber, aam, and acocia lenco phleea.
Rajbagh, padam talab and malik talab lakes, a paradise for wildlife
are full of nymphaeas and lotus.
The hervivorous population includes chital, sambar, blue bull and
chinkara samabar deer is the pride of the park.ther is no park in
asia where these largest of all Asiatic deer can be seen so
frequently during the day time. Wild boars and langurs are a common
sight among the reptiles, crocodiles can be seen basking in the sun
near the lakes.
The tiger is the biggest attraction of the park.according to
naturalists ranthambhor is oone of the best parks in the country for
observing an photographing the activities of the tiger. Other
carnivores in the park include leopard, hyena, jackal, fox, caracal,
jungle cat and ratel around 80 sloth bears are known to exist in the
park.
Recently the kaila devi sanctuary on the north-east of ranthambhor
national park which is also famous for its tiger and sawai man singh
sanctuary on south have been included in the park and is now the
part of the ranthambhor national park. The dry deciduous forest of
kaila devi is spread over 676 sq Kms. Besides the tiger, visitors
can also see the leopard, hyena, sambar, chital, blue bull, fox,
jungle cat, jackal, crocodile, gavial and a variety of birds.
Padam Talao:
Time here is well spent sitting in the shade with a
pair of binoculars, watching crocs, deer and birds at this lake.
Jacanas gingerly tread lily pads, pintails can be seen diving
'bottoms up' for fish. Sambar deer have been taken by crocs,
apparently still and lifeless, but explosively quick when a hunting
opportunity presents itself. What you thought was a rock on the lake
edge might very well turn out to be a large soft shelled turtle that
decided to abandon its sun bath.
Raj Bagh:
Positively over photographed! Yet every eye is new and
every photographer, lay or professional, should be able to come away
with take-your-breath-away images of placid waters framed by the
ruins of ancient hunting lodges. At any time of day, this is about
as close as you will ever get to heaven. A lot of tiger action takes
place here as it is a preferred spot for the favourite food of
tigers, namely sambar and chital deer and wild boar.
Milak Talao:
En route to Lakarda and Bakaula the third lake is an
ideal spot to watch migratory geese, duck and other waterfowl that
can be seen in large congregations. Ground nesters like the Lapwing
sometimes put on their enchanting "broken wing" displays to lure
potentially threatening intruders away from well camouflaged eggs
laid in little scrapes in the ground.
As you make your way out of the park, be sure to look up at the
silhouette of the Ranthambhore Fort, within whose walls at least two
resident leopards are known to live.
If you dawdle after leaving the Jogi Mahal exit gate at sundown (try
the steaming tea and freshly prepared alu vadas and pakoras at the
exit gate), you might chance upon a ratel, blacknaped hare, civet or
hyaena. Even if you don't see it, you might hear the Eagle Owl or
the Brown Fish Owl. Over the years scores of tourists have reported
seeing tigers and leopards on this dusk drive.
By the time you finish the morning round, have breakfast, shower and
rest it is generally mid-morning and time to sit around in the shade
near your lodge, or (for the energetic ones) to take a walk to a
nearby village. You might like to try this at Shyampura village in
the late morning to birdwatch or just take in the local flavour. The
people are friendly and used to visitors, but a guide is useful,
particularly as a translator.
Special mention must be made of some fine wildlife paintings by
local artists in the pichwai tradition with the tiger in its natural
habitat as the focus. They make great souvenirs after a tiger trip
and are available at handicraft stores. Those done at the Ranthambhore School of Art, are a little more expensive but portray
expert art.
