Ranthambhore,
in the state of Rajasthan, is one of the smallest Project Tiger reserves. It's
name comes from the vast fort that stands in the middle of the forest. The name
Ranthambore is derived from two hills in the area, Ran and Thanbhor. Another
version says that Ranthambhore was once called Rana Stambhapura or City of the
Pillars of War!
The Ranthambhore National Park at the junction of the Aravalis and the Vindhayas
is a unique juxtaposition of the natural and historical richness, standing
out conspicuously in the vast, arid and denuded tract of eastern Rajasthan,
barely 14 kms. from Sawai Madhopur. The elegant Ranthambhore fort called the
Jogi Mahal is now the forest rest house.

It
spreads over a highly undulating topography varying from the gentle to the steep
slopes; from flat topped hills of the Vindhayas to the conical hillocks and
the sharp ridges of the Aravalis. An important geological feature the 'Great
Boundary Fault' where the Vindhaya plateaus meet the Aravali hill ranges, meanders
through the reserve. The National Park is bounded by the rivers Chambal in the
South and the Banas in the North. Pure stands of the Dhok interspersed with
open grasslands of the plateaus, six large lakes - Gilai Sagar, Mansarovar,
Malik talao, Raj Bagh and Padam Talao with in the National Park.
