Sher Bagh

Location Summary
The Ranthambhore National Park in south-eastern Rajasthan is amongst the finest places in the world to see wild tigers. The park is named after one of India’s largest and most beautiful forts which stands majestically in the heart of the jungle.

Ruins of Rajput and Mughal cenotaphs, pleasure palaces, watch towers and guard posts are dotted around the park, standing testament to its royal and heroic past.

The Great Mughal Emperor Akbar, fought a battle for control of the fort in 1568. Today, the greatest of the Big Cats, the Tiger, rules Ranthambhore.

Apart from the Tiger, Leopard, Caracal, Civet and Jungle Cats, Sloth Bear, Hyena, Wild Boar, Deer, Antelope, Monkey, Marsh Crocodile and a variety of other animals also roam this unique forest. Home to over 350 species of birds, including a large variety of migrants, from as far off as Europe and Siberia that make it their home during the winter, it is an ornithologist’s paradise.
