The Ranthambore Fort is surely one of the best places to visit in Ranthambore. The Ranthambore Fort screams of the triumph of the Chauhan dynasty as it was the resting place for the kings of the past after their hunting time. Declared a heritage site, the fort has now been an attraction to invite tons of tourists to Ranthambore.
Situated inside Ranthambore Fort, Trinetra Ganesh Temple is yet another attraction in Ranthambore National Park. Trinetra (Three-Eyed) Ganesh or Pratham Ganesh Temple is amongst the oldest temples in Rajasthan. It is one of those temples, where one can find the deities of the entire family of Lord Ganesha. The temple was built by King Hammer, who is believed to be an ardent devotee of Lord Ganesha.
If you love tigers and love watching them in action, Ranthambore National Park could be your natural destination. The park is considered to be one among the finest parks for conservation of the undefeatable predators. The park is located in a scenic environment surrounded by Aravali and Vindhya hill ranges and very close to Thar Desert. With hills and valleys, the park offers spectacular sights that take your breath away.
It is the largest lake in Ranthambore and according to the city tour guide the lake gets its name of Padam Talao due to the numerous lilies that one can find in the lake. At the edge of the lake there is also the Jogi Mahal which gives it yet another reason to be popular among tourists. Tourists can also see migratory birds that flock to this area which also make for a great sight and give yet another reason to be popular tourist sight.
This lake is the haven for many birds, which are seen here catching fishes especially during winter season. It is a shallow lake, which dries out in summer; therefore it is ideal to visit this place either in monsoon or in winter. The best time of the day to visit here is morning when many birds are seen picking up their breakfast from here.
Situated on one side of Padam Lake, Jogi Mahal was used as a rest house for the visitors. Due to its scenic location, it has become a popular place in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve; unfortunately accommodation in Jogi Mahal has been restricted now. Near the Mahal is a tall banyan tree, which is considered one of the largest banyan trees in India.
