Located in eastern Rajasthan at the confluence of great Aravalli range and verdurous Vindhyas, Ranthambore National Park is one of the famed and filmed tiger reserves of India. It is spread over an area of 400 sq. km, which is blessed with rich flora and fauna. Once a royal hunting reserve, the park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and became a part of Project Tiger in 1973.

This majestic Ranthambore fortress is perched on a hilltop in the midst of a lush green forest at the confluence of the Aravali and Vindhya hills ranges. The fort owes its name from two verdant hills, Thanbor which is the hill on which the fort is located and Ran, which is a hill closer to it. This huge fort encompasses an area of about 7 km in circumference. Built in 944 AD by a Chauhan warrior, Ranthambore fort is one of the oldest and most difficult forts to overthrow. It bravely repulsed the attempts of many great warriors such as Alaudin Khilji, Kutub-ud-din, Feroz Tughlaq, Bahadur Shah of Gujarat from being occupied. Rao Hammir was the most victorious ruler in the 11th century. In the late 19th century, Mughals presented the fort to the Maharaja of Jaipur.it then remained with the royal family of Jaipur, and the nearby dense forest became their favorite hunting reserve. It is said that over ten thousand women once committed johar or self-immolation when the Muslim invader Ala-ud-din Khilji laid siege on this fort in 1303.
