The Amusing Dwelling of Underwater Beasts
Ranthambhore—home of Royal Bengal tigers—also neighbors awe-inspiring wetlands. Just 45 km from the reserve lies Palighat in the National Chambal Sanctuary, a tri-state protected area established to save endangered crocodilian species.
A boat safari here is a glittering chance to witness gharials, muggers, soft-shell turtles, and the playful Ganges dolphins. Glide the banks of the Chambal while listening to river birds and gentle water sounds—an experience to treasure with family and friends.
