Ranthambore

Six man made lakes are the central focus of the park and many perennial streams criss-cross the entire park. The Ranthambore National Park has internal drainage and has no link up with any river system, even though two rivers bound the Park in it’s north and south side.

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.
