RANTHAMBHORE TIGER RESERVE
Ranthambhor Tiger Reserve lies at the junction of the Aravalis and the Vindhaya, standing out conspicuously in the vast arid and dry tract of eastern Rajathan, barely 14 kilometers from Sawai Madhopur.

It spreads over a highly undulating topography varying from the gentle to steep slopes, from flat topped hills of the Vindhyas to the conical hillocks and the sharp ridges of the Aravalis, from wide and flat valleys to narrow rocky gorges. The National Park is fed by the river Chambal in the south and the Banas in the north.

Pure stands of the 'flame of the forest' interspersed with open grasslands at the pleasures, six large lakes - Gilai sagar, Lahpur, Mansarovar, Malik Talao, Raj Bagh and Padam Talao within the National Park. Tiger being at the apex of the food chain, rules the animal kingdom in a subtle way. Solitary by nature, it operates stealthly. Therefore tiger sightings, frequent as they are, are always a matter of chance.

The other cats found in Ranthambhore are Leopard, Caracal, Leopard cat, Fishing cat and the Jungle cat, Besides the big cats, the other predators of Ranthambhore are Sloth beer, striped hyena, Jackal, Desert fox, Palm civet, Common mongoose, Crocodile, Python etc. There are two species of deer animely the Spotted Deer & Sambhar and the two kinds of antelopes namely the Indian Gazelle ( Chinkara) and the Bluebull (Nilgai).

Ranthambhore is also very rich in birdlife with more than 250 species of birds. Some of the more interesting resident species of birds are large cormorant, painted spurfowl, sarus crane, bronze winged jacana, sandpiper, kingfisher, nightjar, painted snadgrouse, great horned owl and many more regular winter migrants which come from their nesting grounds north of Himalayas to Ranthambhore and surrounding areas.

Besides tiger, there are many other animals to observe, understand and enjoy. Graceful spotted deer, huge sambhar, crocodiles basking around the banks of the lakes, vultures soaring in the sky, crested serpent eagle scanning the ground from it's perch or the kaleidoscope of water fowl at the pools are all the interest for a visitor with sensitivity. Ranthambhore is a great experience in totality and Tiger Den Resort will enhance this experience by making it comfortable and worthwhild.

We organise jungle visits in 4WD jeeps and open trucks known as canters. A nature guide who is well aware of the flora and fauna of the park accompanies each vehicle and sometimes also has a tiger staked out. For birders there are options of nature walks around Surwal lake, mansarovar lake, Chambal river or even a walk outside the resort one can get a lot of arid scrubland species. Ranthambhore Fort offers history that is 1000 years old and is worth a visit. Tiger Den Resort promises to make your stay unique and a memorable one.
