While in Jhalawar just adjoining territorial Gagron Range there is cliff named as Gidhh Karai (Means Ravine of Vultures), this the active nesting site of Vultures in Jhalawar. 

While Chittorgarh's Rawatbhata and Bhaisrodgarh also have colonies of Vultures. Throughout the upstream of Jawahar Sagar you can watch vultures either resting in the cliffs or feeding their chicks.

As the sun rises and air starts to fill with warm air one by one they leave their nest and soar high and high into the skies. 

During Wintery a Migratory season cousins of Indian Vulture, the Eurasian and Himalayan Griffons visits these places. MHTR is the only place in Rajasthan where you can watch vultures while taking a boat ride. 

Bundi along with Baran has also good number of Vultures, Forest of Shahbaad of Baran District is also vulture habitat.

Meanwhile White Rumped and King or Red headed vultures are quite rare, all vultures found here are categorised as Critically Endangered while Egyptian Vulture is categorised as Endangered.

Has Ustad's behaviour Changed in Captivity ?

Has Ustad's behaviour Changed in Captivity ?


Udaipur, 3 Sept :  On asking  Has T-24 Ustad's behavior Changed in Captivity? 

"It's a million dollar question as nobody at least we don't it's answer but we are quite sure that something has changed. Said some authorities from Sajjangarh Biological Park on non disclosure of name.  

Ustad was 9 year old when he was shifted to Sajjangarh Biological Park after he has been alleged of killing four people at Ranthambhore National Park. Now he is more than 15 years old.

Ustad has been kept in a non display area of the bio-park where tourist can't see him only authorised Forest Staff and Veterinary Doctors and his caretaker are allowed to go to the holding area.

Ustad (means Master) was one of the very majestic and famous Tiger of Ranthambhore, because of his bulky appearance he probably got his nick name, his captivity led National as well as international agitation by Wildlife Lovers.

Sources told that earlier T-24 aka Ustad was quite aggressive when he was shifted to Sajjangarh Biological Park. But slowly and gradually he got familiar with his caretaker.

Now when the caretaker calls his name he responds to it, he knows that his caretaker is calling and recognises him. Still if anyone new comes to that area is simply greeted by an angry roar of Ustad.

His food menu is still soup and minced meat due to his digestive problem, but he is very active fit and fine said the sources.

Ustad was brought to the Bio-park on 16th May 2015, he was operated on 4th Dec 2015, since then Ustad is taking a specialized diet and care. 

On several occasions there were rumours that Ustad will be released and get shifted to a larger enclosure, but all vain, till now No decision has been taken for Ustad's release while he getting older making it more difficult to shift a tiger of old age. 

It seems he will Stay inside the Same Park until he will take his last breath, thanks to some so called local politicians and hotel lobby and their pressure Ustad is under lifetime imprisonment, said some wildlife lovers. 

The current situation intimates that, It will be only a dream of some wildlife lovers that Ustad can still be released. 

Long Live Ustad... His Legacy continues from Sultan (still missing) to his cubs T-117 (female) and T-118 (female) and their little cubs.

The danger to Ranthambore becoming glass..

The danger to Ranthambore becoming glass..

 Although drinking alcohol is injurious to health, but the alcoholics who drink alcohol are becoming a threat to the local people of Ranthambore and their pets and the wild animals of Ranthambore who roam freely in the outskirts of Ranthambore.




In the area around Ranthambore, often anti-social elements hold liquor parties in the evening.

After partying, empty glass bottles are thrown here and there, due to which many wildlife, pets of local people and sometimes local people get this glass on their feet due to which they get injured.



Many devotees walk barefoot to the Trinetra Ganesh temple in Ranthambore, who get injured by the glass.


Ranthambore Sanctuary attracts the minds of people due to its natural beauty and picnic hotspot, but the broken glass is doing the work of putting a stain on the beauty.





Where are the glass spreading near Ranthambore Sanctuary?


1. Around the security wall on the side of Ranthambore road.

2. Glasses of liquor bottles will be found scattered around the Bhumiyan ji area located in Khilchipur.

3. Mata ji's temple/Jain temple in Sherpur and in outer Baffer John.

4. In the vicinity of Sherpur Helipad.

5. Broken glass also often comes in the waste coming out of hotels. Due to which wounds are often seen in the feet of the cow.

6. In the outer buffer area of ​​Ranthambore Sanctuary.






They are also at risk...

Local people say that some anti-social elements break the bottles after holding liquor parties during the night, due to which villagers and youth have to face many problems during their morning walk.

Tourism activities will start in Ranthambore & Sariska. Learn more

Tourism activities will start in Ranthambore & Sariska. Learn more


There is a possibility of resuming tourism activities in Ranthambore National Park. NTCA DIG Dr. Amit Malik wrote a letter to the Chief Wildlife Warden of all the states. After discussing the letter, keeping in mind the situation of Covid 19, tourism activities can be started in Ranthambore and Sariska at their level.


The garden is expected to open from Friday.


From April 19, all the forests of the country were closed due to the Corona epidemic in the entire country. This has caused a lot of damage to the tourism sector. In this period of despair, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, National Tiger Conservation Authority has issued new guidelines and orders on Wednesday, in which guidelines have been issued to open all the sanctuaries of the country.

Due to the closure of forests across the country due to the orders of NTCA due to the Covid19 epidemic, there was a sense of despair among tourists visiting the tourist sector, due to which there has been a loss of billions of rupees in the tourism sector. Along with this, lakhs of people, directly and indirectly, dependent on the forest have faced unemployment in local hotels, handicraft businessmen, restaurants, vehicle operators, guides, and others. Now there is a possibility of opening the forest with new orders, due to which there is an atmosphere of happiness among the people.

With the closure of the Ranthambore Tiger Project, local guides, drivers, and hotel staff were forced to do small jobs. Many people have raised their families by hand carts. At present, the life of the people living in the periphery around Ranthambore had become very difficult. In such a situation, there has been a wave of happiness among the local people with the news of the opening of the sanctuary. In Sawai Madhopur, unemployment is at its peak due to the absence of any industry other than the Ranthambore Tiger Project. With no other livelihood resources, people have to face a lot of difficulty in juggling the bread of June 2 for the family. For years, the local people have been demanding from the state and central government that if a big industry is opened at the local level in the Sawai Madhopur area on the basis of environmental balance, then unemployment can be got rid of.

Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is a famous and popular forest in the country and abroad. Tourists who come here feel a sense of adventure after seeing the tiger's axes. Due to the accessible sighting of the tiger here, a large number of domestic and foreign tourists come to visit here every year. Thousands of people of Sawai Madhopur are associated with Ranthambore Tiger Project and are earning their livelihood.


रणथम्भौर राष्ट्रीय उद्यान में पर्यटन गतिविधियां फिर से शुरू करने कि सम्भावना जताई जा रही है। NTCA के DIG डॉ. अमित मालिक ने ने सभी प्रदेशों के चीफ वाइल्ड लाइफ वार्डन को लिखा पत्र .. पत्र पर चर्चा के बाद Covid 19 के हालात को ध्यान में रखते हुए रणथंभौर और सरिस्का में अपने स्तर पर शुरू की जा सकती हैं पर्यटन गतिविधियां..

शुक्रवार से उद्यान खुलने कि जताई जा रही है उम्मीद.


19 अप्रेल से सम्पूर्ण देष में कोरोना महामारी के चलते देष के सभी जंगल बन्द कर दिए गए थे। इससे पर्यटन क्षेत्र में काफी नुकसान हुआ है। निराषा के इस दौर मंे पर्यावरण, वन एवं जलवायु परिवर्तन मंत्रालय, राष्ट्रीय व्याघ्र संरक्षण प्राधिकरण द्वारा बुधवार को नई गाइड लाइन व आदेष जारी किए हैं, जिसमें देष के सभी अभयारण्य को खोलने के दिषा-निर्देष जारी किए गए हैं। 

कोरोना महामारी के कारण एनटीसीए के आदेषों से देश भर में जंगल बन्द कर दिए जाने से घूमने आने वाले पर्यटकों में निराषा का भाव था, जिससे पर्यटन क्षेत्र में अरबों रूपए का नुकसान हुआ है। साथ ही स्थानीय होटल, हैण्डीक्राफ्ट व्यवसायी, रेस्टोरेन्ट, वाहन संचालक, गाइड व अन्य परोक्ष-अपरोक्ष रूप से जंगल पर निर्भर लाखों लोगों को बेरोजगारी का सामना करना पड़ा है। अब नए आदेषों से जंगल खोले जाने की सम्भावना बनी है, इससे लोगों में खुषी का माहौल है। 

रणथम्भौर बाघ परियोजना के बन्द होने से स्थानीय गाइड, वाहन चालक व होटल कर्मचारी छोटे-छोटे काम करने को मजबूर हो गए थे। कई लोगों ने हाथठेला लगाकर परिवार का पालन-पोषण किया है। वर्तमान में रणथम्भौर के आसपास परिधि में निवास करने वाले लोगों का जीवन-यापन काफी मुष्किल हो गया था। ऐसे में अभयारण्य के खुलने की खबर से स्थानीय लोगों में खुषी की लहर दौड़ गई है। सवाई माधोपुर में रणथम्भौर बाघ परियोजना के अलावा अन्य कोई उद्योग-धन्धा नहीं होेने से यहां पर बेरोजगारी चरम पर है। अन्य कोई आजीविका संसाधन नहीं होने से लोगों को परिवार के लिए दो जून की रोटी का जुगाड़ करने में काफी मषक्कत का सामना करना पड़ता है। स्थानीय लोगों की वर्षों से राज्य व केन्द्र सरकार से मांग रही है कि पर्यावरण संतुलन आधार पर कोई स्थानीय स्तर पर कोई बड़ा उद्योग सवाई माधोपुर क्षेत्र में खोला जाए तो बेरोजगारी से निजात मिल सकेगी। 

रणथम्भौर बाघ अभयारण्य देष-विदेष में प्रसिद्ध व सर्वप्रिय जंगल है। यहां आने वाले पर्यटकों को बाघ की अठखेलियां देखकर रोमांच की अनुभूति होती है। यहां पर बाघ की सुलभ साईटिंग होने से काफी तादाद में हर वर्ष देषी-विदेषी पर्यटक यहां घूमने आते हैं। रणथम्भौर बाघ परियोजना से सवाई माधोपुर के हजारों लोग जुड़े हुए हैं तथा अपनी आजीविका चला रहे हैं।
