Ranthambhore National Park

A tiger reserve in Rajasthan, India that is home to a large variety of wildlife Today, this Project tiger reserve spans over 1334 sq.

Ranthambhore National Park - Tucked away between the Aravalis and the Vindhyan hill systems in the Sawai Madhopur district of eastern Rajasthan, Ranthambhore National Park (282 sq km) is a part of the much larger Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve (1334 sq km). The reserve is home to over 40 species of mammals, 300 species of birds, 45 species of reptiles and over 300 species of plants. However it is the

“relatively easy sightings” of wild tigers that has made Ranthambhore famous all over the world. The Ranthambhore National Park, which is a part of the much larger Ranthambore tiger reserve, a Project tiger reserve, lies in the Sawai Madhopur district of eastern Rajasthan. It is the only forest reserve in Rajasthan state and in the entire Aravali hill ranges where wild bengal tigers still exist. The dry deciduous habitat of the reserve makes it much easier to find and observe tigers in their natural wild habitat. The Chambal River forms a natural boundary of the Ranthambore national park towards the east, and on the eastern shore of Chambal lies the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. To the northeast of the Ranthambhore national park, flows the river - Banas, a tributary of Chambal. Across the river Banas, lies the Keladevi sanctuary, while the Sawai Man Singh wildlife sanctuary lies to the south of the Park. Both these sanctuaries, along with the Ranthambhore national park, are part of the Ranthambore tiger reserve. km of area, of which 282 sq. km is the Ranthambore national park. The entire Tiger Reserve stretches in a North-East to South-West direction for a distance of over 70 kilometers. To the extreme North-East lies the Kela Devi Sanctuary, south-west of which (and across the river Banas) lies the Ranthambore National Park. The Sawai Madhopur Sanctuary, followed by the Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary and the Qualji Closed Area lies further South-West of the park. Ranthambhore is where the Aravali and the Vindhyan hill ranges meet and this confluence is perhaps the reason for the rich bio diversity of the Ranthambore. The geological formations of Vindhyan system are characterized by flat table tops locally known as 'Dang' , while the Aravallis are characterized by sharp ridges and conical hill tops. An important geological fault line - the Great Boundary Fault - lies at the confluence of the Aravali and the Vindhyan systems - and runs right across Ranthambore national park. All the Tiger safaris in the Reserve are conducted inside the National park or in the contiguous Sawaimadhopur Sanctuary and Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary. The park is open to tourists during October-June, and receives more than 100,000 wildlife enthusiasts every year from all over the world. Ranthambhore National Park is probably the best place in the world to see wild tigers and is the only dry deciduous tiger habitat in the world.

Aditya “Dicky” Singh’s wit was as unforgettable as his photographs.
Sharp, quick, and full of humor — he could turn a forest story into a burst of laughter in seconds.

Those who knew him, remember not only his conservation work, but the joy and laughter he carried into every room, every safari, every conversation.

💚 Today, we honor his humor — because even in the wild, he never took life too seriously.

Wit. Truth. Wild. Forever Aditya.

A tribute to Arrowhead (T-84) — daughter of Krishna, granddaughter of Machhli, and one of Ranthambhore’s most iconic tigresses.
A life that embodied legacy, power, and grace.

Born into Ranthambhore royalty, Arrowhead was the granddaughter of the legendary Machhli (T-16) and daughter of Krishna (T-19). She carried forward a bloodline that defined tiger conservation in India — fierce, regal, and resilient.

In her youth, Arrowhead boldly claimed the prized lake territory — the same land once ruled by her mother and grandmother. Zone 3 became her kingdom, and she ruled it with quiet strength and unwavering presence.

She was a mother to many — fiercely protective, nurturing, and instinctively wise. Through her cubs, Arrowhead’s legacy will continue to roam the forests of Ranthambhore.

To see her was to witness something unforgettable — golden light on striped fur, eyes locked in silent power, stillness that stopped time. She was not just a tigress; she was a presence, a memory, a moment.

As she returns to the forest that shaped her, we say farewell not just to a tiger, but to a symbol.
Rest easy, Arrowhead.
Your forest remembers you.

Ranthambhore, road to the fort.
A tiger waits nearby and so do people..In droves. Out of jeeps. Clutching cameras. Blocking its path. Forest Gaurd’s trying to manage the Chaos.

Recently, in separate incidents, two lives ( A child n a forest ranger) were lost to attacks by a tiger on this same road leading to the fort. What will we learn from these tragic incidents?

If Aditya Singh were here, he wouldn’t have sugarcoated it:
“We’ve turned the wild into a circus. And now we’re shocked the animals aren’t playing by the rules.”

Because this is not a tiger problem. It’s a human one. Tiger behaviour does not change overnight. It’s imperative to dig deeper and work towards long term solutions before the wild forgets it ever existed.
