Ranthambore National Park is a fascinating blend of history and nature. Inside the park is a formidable fort that was built in the 10th century and coveted by many rulers due to its strategic position between north and central India.

The park itself is situated at the joining of the Vindhya Plateau and the Aravalli Hills, and is characterized by rocky plains and steep cliffs. It supports a diverse range of flora and fauna

Ranthambore is open from October to June and is breathtaking for its sheer size and variety of wildlife. On the sprawling land of this park is the magnificent Ranthambore Fort, which dates back to the 10th century. You'll still spot a latticed resting place or two, proof of the fact that this was used extensively as a gaming ground for royalty here.
