Ranthambhore National Park
 Well,
Blake surely wasn't exaggerating when he wrote that poem
and one could confirm it with a visit to the Ranthambhore
National park. This famous Tiger Reserve forest covers
a core area of 400 square kilometers and is a home to
carnivores such as the panther, jackal, hyena, and sores
of herbivores such as the deer, sambhar, stag and many
migratory birds.
The tiger is the most fascinating animal of the park and
also the most elusive one. And the best way to catch a
glimpse of him is to hire a jeep from Project Tiger, office
of the Forest Department, Sawai Madhopur. And all the
effort that might have gone into glimpsing the majestic
animal is worth it all, even if the mighty one decided
to grace its visitors with a glimpse of itself. Best time
to visit: October to June
The Park is closed from July to September. Keoladeo
Ghana National Park (120 km from Delhi)
As the only wintering ground of the endangered Siberian
Crane in India, the Keoladeo Ghana National Park is considered
as the world's most important bird sanctuaries.
The Park is home to more than 350 species of birds. It
covers an area of 29 square kilometers and has a mixed
vegetation of deciduous and scrub land. The park was once
the shooting ground of the Bharatpur rulers and the British
viceroys and dignitaries.
However today it is a protected area. The park is one
of the most beautiful parks in India, with beautiful migratory
birds from all over the country. A must visit for all
bird enthusiasts.
Corbett National Park (300 km from Delhi)
 Welcome
to India's first ever National Park, the Corbett National
Park! Located in Uttar Pradesh and covering an area of
520 square kilometers, it is also a Tiger Reserve Project.
Initially called the Hailey National Park, it was established
in 1936 on the advice of the hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett.
Of course, the star attraction of the park is the tiger.
Besides the tiger, one can find other cats such as the
leopard, the jungle cat and the fishing cat. The park
is also the home for scores of other animals as well,
from the deer to the Indian Grey Mongoose. And bird enthusiasts

visited by rare migratory birds.
The best time to visit the park is between the months
of February and May. It is closed from mid June to mid
