• Ranthambhore is the largest national park in North India and its dry deciduous forests are home to over 500 species of flowering plants and 270 species of birds in addition to leopards, nilgai, sloth bear and wild boar.
  
  Ranthambhore of course is best known for its large tiger population. The chances of spotting a tiger is relatively high in Ranthambhore, with the elusive predator often seen basking in the sun or enjoying the shade of a tree.
  
  Ranthambhore’s most famous denizen is the aging T-16, better known as Machhli or “fish” after the curious markings on her face. Machhli has been the subject of numerous wildlife documentaries and is an “Internet phenomenon” - a video of her hunting a giant salt water crocodile generating over 2 million views on Youtube.
  
  Other notable striped residents of Ranthambhore include Machhli’s grown up cub T-17 or Sundari (the pretty one), her boyfriend the temperamental T-25 (better known as Dollar), the elusive T-19, the current dominant female of Ranthambhore, and the majestic T-28 or Sitara (Star), the park’s dominant male.
  
  You could spend the rest of the morning at the pool or visit the town. You could also squeeze in a visit to the temple on top of the Ranthambhore fort.
  
  Ranthambhore Fort is the majestic 10th Century fortress that gives the national park its name. There are four 12th century temples inside the fortress that are worth the visit. Standing 700 feet above its surroundings, the fort’s ramparts provide a tremendous panoramic view of the national park.
