Location:

example, how tourism can be constructive and when necessary, controlled
effectively.

bathrooms, a dining tent, a cafe and lots of verdant spaces in which to
loll! Originally designed for HH the Maharaja of Jodhpur at the turn of last
century. These tents were used on hunting expeditions. They also catered for
an overflow of guests at the palace and even for Vice Regal and Royal
visits. Tented cities used to spring up and provide extreme comfort even in
the remotest of locations. The tents are custom made, raised on a concrete
plith. The attached bathrooms are permanent with running hot and cold water.

Attractions:
The park, set against the backdrop of the historic 1000-year-old
Ranthambhore Fort, lies in the area where the ancient ranges of the
Vindhyas' flat-topped hills merge with the sharp ridges of the Aravalis. The
park's uniqueness lies in its man-made lakes and ancient reservoirs, which
have merged into the natural system as vital sources of water.
Ranthambhore also has a large populaton of panthers, the second largest
predators of the forest. Marsh Crocodiles abound in the lakes and Gharial
can be spotted close by in the Chambal River, which also harbours the
Gangetic Dolphin. An open jeep safari also affords a glimpse of the
spectacular ruins of mosques, tombs, watchtowers and palaces scattered
within the park.
