Ranthambore
Wildlife Sanctuary
Ranthambhore, in the state of Rajasthan, is one of the
smallest Project Tiger reserves. It's name comes from
the vast fort that stands in the middle of the forest.
The name Ranthambore is derived from two hills in the
area, Ran and Thanbhor. Another version says that Ranthambhore
was once called Rana Stambhapura or City of the Pillars
of War! The Ranthambhore National Park at the junction
of the Aravalis and the Vindhayas is a unique juxtaposition
of the natural and historical richness, standing out conspicuously
in the vast, arid and denuded tract of eastern Rajasthan,
barely 14 kms. from Sawai Madhopur. The elegant Ranthambhore
fort called the Jogi Mahal is now the forest rest house.
