Located 150 kilometers from Jaipur in the Sawai Madhopur district, Ranthambore is home to some of the most exotic animal species found in the Indian subcontinent; some of them are leopards, nilgai, hyena, sloth bear, chital etc. There was once a time when the park served as a hunting ground for the Maharajahs living here that resulted in a rapid decline in the tiger population. However, the inception of Project Tiger in 1973 slowly led to a rise in the number of tigers present here. Today, Ranthambore is known for its healthy tiger population that attracts tourists with some of the most exciting Ranthambore group packages from all over the world.
