Attractions
:-
Ranthambore, which receives thousands of visitors each year, is
famous for its tigers, whose population it seeks to increase and
sustain. Year after year, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve continues
to attract not just tourists but dignitaries as well. The U.S.
President Bill Clinton, during his recent visit to India, found
time to visit Ranthambore despite his busy schedule. Nevertheless,
the king of the jungle obliges both dignitaries and the common
tourists with his benign presence.
Tigers can be spotted quite often in their natural habitat even during daytime.
They have been frequently seen at the edges of three lakes. Padam Talab, Raj
Bagh Talab and Milak Talab. The park also has panthers in sizable numbers,
though they have been spotted generally at the outskirts of the park perhaps
due to the inevitable conflict with the tiger population, which command the
. superior. position amidst the predatory cats. For spotting
panthers,
Kachida Valley is regarded as the ideal place.
