Our country, India, is endowed with diverse cultures, heritages, monuments, mountains, valleys, floral gardens, natural parks, and much more. Today, in this post, I will introduce you to a state that is well-known not only for its culture, heritage, monuments, and food, but also for its extensive national park. Have you made any educated guesses? It is, after all, our Rajasthan. So I’ve hand-picked the best national parks based on my favourite list.

Best Wildlife Sanctuary in Rajasthan

Ranthambore National Park 

 

This is the best tiger reserve in our country, with “friendly” tigers, and the chances of seeing one here are higher than in many other Indian tiger reserves. Ranthambore also has some of the most diverse flora and fauna, making it a must-see location.

Ranthambore, located in the foothills of the Vindhya and Aravali Hills, is well-known for its tiger reserves and diverse flora and fauna. Ranthambore National Park, Ranthambore Fort, and the surrounding hills and valleys combine to make Ranthambore a traveller’s paradise. The location is ideal for excursions and sightseeing, as well as for wildlife photographers. Safari rides and hot Rajasthani picks for shopaholics round out the adventure. Ranthambore National Park, with a total area of 392 square kilometres, is a natural habitat for a wide range of exotic species. It is a true joy for children as well as for grown ups

Band Bartha Wildlife Sanctuary

Band Bartha is located in the Bayana Tehsil of Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district. It was formerly one of the most important cities in the state of Bharatpur. The Bandh Baratha were known as Shreepast and Shri Prasastha in the Mughal Empire, and it is located 74 kilometres from Fatehpur Sikri, 187 kilometres from the Pink City of Jaipur, 44 kilometres from the headquarters of the Bharatpur district, and just 9 kilometres from the deputy headquarters. This  Water harvesting began around ten years ago from the bridge, and subsequently, the Bandh gate was opened. Band Baretha has a filler capacity of 29 feet. This is one of Bharatpur’s largest dams. This provides drinking water to several portions of the Bharatpur district.

Band Baretha is scattered across a vast landscape, which is why animals roam, plays, and hunting openly is an exhilarating and unique experience. As a result, every guest should go on a Jeep Safari while they are here. A vehicle safari is the finest way to see big cats, while a gentle float down the Kabini River in a coracle—a tiny round boat—provides excellent viewing possibilities for aquatic birds, crocodiles, and Indian elephants. The best time to visit the Band Baretha Wildlife Sanctuary is between February and November. The sanctuary is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.The voice of birds and the landscape is something that makes us close to nature. It’s a slice of authentic India, away from the obsessed selfie culture. Originally a duck hunting ground for maharajas in the nineteenth century, it was designated as a bird sanctuary in 1976 and a national park in 1982. That’s why it is recognised as UNESCO’S World Heritage.

Ramsagar Wildlife Sanctuary 

The Ramsagar Wildlife Sanctuary is close to the Vanvihar Wildlife Sanctuary. It is 18 kilometres away from Van Vihar Wildlife Sanctuary. Ramsagar sanctuary is surrounded by a lake named Ramsagar Lake, which attracts numerous exotic birds throughout the winter.

Aside from that, the reserve is well-known for the aquatic creatures found in Ramsagar Lake. Travelers receive a whole bundle of pleasure and excitement while on the road.

Keoladeo National Park 

The Keoladeo National Park, formerly known as the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is a well-known bird sanctuary in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India that attracts thousands of birds every year. The best time to visit, however, is during the winter season, when a plethora of migratory birds arrives to hibernate. The National Park has been home to over 230 different bird species. The park was designated as a protected area in the year 1971.

This was considered as Maharaja’s duck hunting reserve, where a variety of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China, and Siberia migrates. In total, there are 364 bird species, which includes endangered Siberian crane, and have been spotted in the park, which is fantastic.

The sanctuary was originally a natural depression-prone to seasonal flooding at the confluence of the Gambhir and Banganga rivers in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district. It gradually evolved into a lush, thriving system of freshwater marshes, attracting a large and diverse population of migratory birds. The Maharajas of Bharatpur improved the area by building bunds (dykes) and developing it as a duck shooting reserve. Inside the park, you can see a list of their exploits.
