Ranthambore National Park, one of India’s most famous tiger reserves, is located in the Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan. Spread over 1,334 sq. km, it is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. The park is renowned for its high tiger population, making tiger sightings more frequent compared to other reserves.
