History-with its legacy of precious monuments-is not the only attraction in Rajasthan, awe inspiring though it may be! This unique state also offers some of the most unusual wildlife sanctuaries in the country, where the roar of jungle animals merges with the whisperings of time. Imagine a tiger stretching land-gloriously beneath a perfectly arched Rajasthani cupola-an unforgettable sight you can never see anywhere else in the world. But you can see it in Ranthambore, one of the premier tiger reserves in India. Ready for the rare sight of illusive Siberian Cranes and hundreds of other elusive faunal species in Rajasthan.

Major attractions in Rajasthan:

Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary

Introduction
So great is the pull of the Keoladeo Ghana Bird Sanctuary, Bharatpur, that people spare not a thought for the state that gave birth to it. This superb waterfowl habitat, one of the finest in the world, was actually created by a maharaja.

This national park takes its name from the god Keoladeo, an aspect of Lord Shiva, enshrined in a small temple within the park. Ghana means dense and refers to the thick forest, which used to cover the area. Stretching over no more than 129 square km, which isn't much for a national park, the Keoladeo Ghana National Park is home to an astonishing range of flora.

Ranthambore National Park

Introduction
A journey into the Ranthambore (also known as Ranthambore) Sanctuary is an elating experience especially if you are lucky enough to sight the Big Cat. The greatest pulling factor about Ranthambore is the Tiger. The big cat is totally nonchalant about staring humans and there have been enough wildlife movies shot in the place to advertise the fact. But tigers have their moments of privacy and these seem to outweigh those moments when they don’t mind being watched. Ranthambore was among one of the very first sanctuaries to come under the aegis of Project Tiger and from a few dozens the number of tigers have increased to a little over a hundred. Now a national park, it has an area of over 400 square kilometers. Most of the big cats are so secure and protected that they can be seen hunting during the day particularly around the two lakes.
