For those with a penchant for wildlife the
Ranthambore National Park, once the scene
of royal hunting parties, is the place to
head to. Today, it is famous for its tigers
and other endangered species. The park covers
an area of 392 square kilometers and is set
between the Aravali and Vindhya mountain ranges.
Its deciduous forests were once a part of
the magnificent jungles of Central India.
The terrain is rugged and there are rocky
ridges, hills and open valleys with lakes
and pools. A two-day extension package is
available from Agra commencing from Day 4
of the Golden Triangle tour.
