Ranthambore National Park

We are proud to tell you that the Ranthambore National Park is counted as one of the most visited Indian forest reserves, props to its beautiful tigers that you can spot in natural habitats. Earlier, it was a significant hunting ground for the Rajasthani kings, but it is now a part of the Project Tiger since 1973.

The spreading jungles of Ranthambore are famous for a blooming population of Bengal tigers, but that’s not all. You can also discover chitals, crocodiles, rhesus macaque, gray langur, sloth bear, striped hyena, and more with your Rajasthan Wildlife and Heritage Tour Package from India By Car and Driver.   

Sariska Tiger Reserve

Set in the Alwar district of Rajasthan sits Sariska Tiger Reserve, a part of the Kathiawar-Gir, dry short-lived jungle eco-region and the Aravali Hills.

It’s a tiger reserve, so you will surely spot tigers.

However, you will also see various fauna species such as Indian eagle-owl, crested serpent eagle, golden-backed woodpecker, treepie, brush, quail, and more. Don’t forget to take pictures of these lovable animals as souvenirs.      

Desert National Park

The Desert National Park is ironically not deserted, get it? No. Well, jokes aside, the Desert National Park is one of the biggest national parks in the world, another proud fact for us. It is located in Jaisalmer and Barmer, where you experience the Thar Desert’s ecosystem up-close.

You can easily view picturesque wildlife species living in the desert area like the great Indian bustard, sand grouse, kestrels, laggar falcons, spotted eagles, and many more.      

Jawai Leopard Conservation

A real hidden jewel of Rajasthan, Jawai Leopard Conservation Reserve is quickly rising to be the perfect tourist destination in the state that guarantees you a heart-throbbing safari.

Located close to the Sumerpur town of Pali district, it has a thriving population of leopards, crocodiles, birds, and what not? With that being said, your vacation in Jawai will be full of enjoyment, excitement, and experiences.    

Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary

Situated in the Rajsamand district, Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary got its name after the grand fort of Kumbhalgarh, which also became a stop and stare destination for travelers in Jodhpur or Udaipur. So along with wildlife safari, you also get bird sightings as a bonus.

You will discover various species such as dove, kingfisher, bulbul, grey pigeon, etc. After these thrilling experiences, all you need is a Rajasthan Relaxation Tour.
