Rajasthan’s Ranthambore is known for its tiger population. If you are going on a safari in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, tiger spotting is definitely in your cards. Rajasthan had three reserves – Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Sawai Madhopur district, Mukundra Hills in Kota district and Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar district. Now, with the announcement of the Ramgarh Tiger Reserve, it has become the fourth in the state and 52nd tiger reserve in the country.
Rajasthan Has A New Tiger Reserve In Ramgarh
What used to be the Ramgarh Vishdari Sanctuary, now a tiger reserve is located between Ranthambore Tiger reserve and Mukundra Hills Reserve. This sanctuary has been turned into a new tiger reserve. Recently, the Rajasthan forest department has asked the National Tiger Conservation Authority to intervene in the matter, since the tiger population in the Ranthambore tiger forests is increasing. The forest department says that there might not be enough space in Ranthambore for all the tigers and form their territories.
A tigress straying in the Ranthambore area might also be shifted to the new tiger reserve. Not moving the tigress to Ramgarh might also cause human-animal conflict, the forest department fears.

What Does Ramgarh Have In Store For Its Visitors?
The Ramgarh Sanctuary has a lot of other wildlife like Indian wolves, leopards, hyenas, sloth bears, golden jackals, chinkara, nilgai and fox. Experts believe that Ramgarh will contribute to the increase of these large cats’ population and further improve their numbers. Additionally, the government also aims to improve eco-tourism in the state. Tourists will be able to explore places like Garh Palace, and Bhimlat Mahadev Temple too while visiting the place. If you are really fond of the Rajput culture and the majestic architecture, a visit to Garh palace will be rewarding. Also, don’t miss out on trekking and sighting the gorgeous waterfalls in Bhimlat.
Surely, with the upcoming reserve in Ramgarh, tourism will receive a mega boost in Rajasthan allowing travellers to explore more.
