This tiger reserve situated in  the south eastern part of Rajasthan in both districts named Sawai Madhopur and Karauli. This is one of those Indian jungles which host maximum tiger densities and highest tiger sightings.

Ranthambhore was one of the nine tiger habitats which were chosen as part of Project Tiger in the year 1973. It became national park in 1980. It was the smallest park then among the rest national parks chosen for this project. It ranges over an area of 1,394 sq. kms. Part of which falls in Sawai Madhopur district and rest in Karauli district.

The park has variety of animal life including tigers, leopards, sloth bears, the elusive caracals and other carnivores like hyenas. The bird life of the park is also abundant, more than 300 varieties and ranges from raptors, owl, flycatchers to spur fowls, thick knees and Indian Pitta.

a favourite food of the Tigers. Wild boars and langurs are commonly seen here. Among the reptiles, crocodiles can be seen basking in the sun near the famous lakes in the park.

The plants of the park is the tropical dry deciduous and tropical spike type. Due to its hilly path, water is limited to narrow valleys and quite a few lakes.

There are three prominent lakes in the park which is known as Padam Talab, the Raj Bagh Talab and the Malik Talab in Zone 3.
