Wildlife Tour in Rajasthan

The most curious feature about Rajasthan is its geographic diversity. From the semi-evergreen forests of Mt. Abu to the barren lands of the desert, and from the scrub-thorn arid forests of the Aravali to the marshy lands of the Bharatpur, Rajasthan spreads across 3,42,000 sq km providing a home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Rajasthan hosts three national parts and more than a dozen sanctuaries. Some of them include Ranthambhor National Park, Keoladeo Ghana National Park, Sariska Tiger Reserve, Bhensrod Garh Sanctuary and Mount Abu Sanctuary. These wonderful destinations provide the most fascinating scenes from the wildlife world. Travelers can enjoy a ride through the deep jungles of Rajasthan by a jeep or on elephant back.

Ranthambhor National Park is the most popular tiger reserve under Project Tiger. With its vast 392 sq km area of land, Ranthambhor is home to a wide variety of wildlife species including cheetal, sambhar, wild boar, jackal, hyena among others.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park, also known as the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is one of the world’s largest bird sanctuaries. Spread across 29 sq km, the Park invites thousands of migratory birds to it every year. They are accompanied by a large number of predatory birds as well. Popular guests include egrets, grey herons, storks, cormorants, and the rarest Siberian cranes. The Park is also home to a large group of mammals including blackbuck, chital, fishing cat, and sambhar. The ideal time to visit the national park is from August to February.

Sariska Tiger Reserve is another tiger land protected under Project Tiger scheme. With Aravali Hills forming the backdrop, this beautiful wildlife destination also provides home to leopards, sambhar, chinkara and many other wild species. The ideal time to visit this place is November to June.
