Sawai Madhopur - Regal Tigers of the Desert

After a date with the Blue City, the Palace on Wheels enters the tiger country to take you to the Ranthambore National Park. Popular for its tiger population, the Ranthambore National Park is located about 14 kilometres from Sawai Madhopur. Sawai Madhopur is the nearest railhead to reach the Ranthambore National Park.

A visit to the Ranthambore National Park is a fascinating part of the journey on Palace on Wheels. The park is teeming with a large number of animals and birds. A jungle safari in the park brings you face to face with many animals.

The Ranthambore National Park is spread over an area of 1,334 square kilometres and lies between the Aravalli and Vindhya ranges. On your safari of the park you come across many animals, prominent among them are chital, jackal, nilgaai, sambhar, barasingha, chinkara, porcupines, sloth bear and wild boar.

The big cats may elude you but if you are lucky, you may see a tiger lazing or simply walking majestically in front of you. A seasoned guide is of immense help when it comes to de-coding the pugmarks that lead to a tiger trail. The park offers a wonderful opportunity to shoot wild animals but with a camera. Watching the tiger in is a lifetime experience. The former US president Bill Clinton during his visit to the park had come across a big cat.

Ranthambore Fort is another important tourist attraction in the park. The ruins of the 10th century Ranthambore Fort house some important buildings that tourists can visit. You can also see the oldest banyan tree in India near the Jogi Mahal.
