    About Ranthambore National Park

    Ranthambore National Park is one of the most famous wildlife reserves in India. The park gets its name from the historic Ranthambore Fort, located within its boundaries. During the British era, these forests were mainly used as hunting grounds by the royal family of Jaipur.

    After India gained independence, the government introduced policies to protect forests and wildlife. In 1955, the forest area was declared the Sawai Madhopur Wildlife Sanctuary. However, the tiger population continued to decline, which led to stronger conservation efforts.

    In 1973, the Government of India launched the famous Project Tiger initiative to protect the endangered Bengal tiger. By 1980, twelve villages inside the forest were relocated and the area was officially declared a National Park. Over time, surrounding forest regions were also included in the protected zone.

    Today, Ranthambore National Park is considered one of the best places in India to spot wild tigers and is among the most popular tiger reserves in the world.
