Royal Bengal Tigers and their cubs give rise to Tourism in India



Ranthambore Wildlife National Park is the largest National Park located in the State of Rajasthan in northwest India. The national park covers a vast area of about 400 sq. km. and is easily reachable from Sawai Madhopur – the nearest railway station from the park. It is also one of the major wildlife tourist destinations in India.

 It is home to the Royal Bengal Tigers which breed and live here in a safe and secure environment. The best time of visiting Ranthambore National Park is between the months of November to April end when the park throws open its gates to welcome wildlife tourists and nature conservationists. The park is also home to spotted leopards, nilgai, chital, sambar, hyena, sloth bear and wild boars.


The Forest Department had relocated tigers from Ranthambore to Sariska Tiger Reserve in 2008 to boost their growth and increase tourism opportunities there. Recent news and pictures taken from camera traps in Sariska Tiger Reserve show 2 tigresses - ST-2 and ST-10 have given birth to 2 cubs each in the past few months. 


The current population of tigers has shot up with 4 of the recent cubs at the Sariska Tiger Reserve. It is indeed a joyful moment for all wildlife enthusiasts and lovers to see those lovely and cute cubs following their mother and playing antics with her.

 This relocation exercise by the forest department has instilled confidence of increasing the population of tigers in India. These majestic beasts are a wonder of nature and also aid in economic development of the surrounding area where they dwell in by giving rise to wildlife tourism.
People from all over the world come to enjoy wildlife and take Indian Wildlife Sanctuaries Travel Packages well in advance of the tourist season through online bookings.
