The Ranthambore National
Park in Rajasthan is one of the most visited wildlife
reserves in the world today. Covering an area of
392 sq km, the park is made up of craggy cliffs,
man made lakes, perennial streams, watering holes
and bush lands. As a result, the vegetation of Ranthambore
is as diverse as its fauna.
It is true that Ranthambore is characterized by
different types of vegetation. However, the forest
is mainly covered by vegetation of the dry deciduous
type. Dhok trees (Anogeissus pensula) are found
throughout the whole park. Banyan and Pipal trees
also make their presence felt in the Ranthambore
National Park.
Other interesting types of trees found in Ranthambore
include the Flame of the Forest and Neem. During
your Ranthambore tours, you will also come across
many fruit bearing trees like the Mango, Jamun and
Ber. A number of plants with medicinal properties
can also found inside the Ranthambore National Park
in Rajasthan.
The Ranthambore vegetation has a very important
bearing on the ecosystem of the park. As herbivorous
animals feed on the plants for their survival, they
in turn provide sustenance for the carnivores inhabiting
the park. So the Ranthambore vegetation is part
of a cycle that determines the existence of the
wildlife populace of Ranthambore.
Learning about the flora of Ranthambore can be an
interesting experience for many. In fact, it would
be a very good idea to indulge in a nature tour
with a naturalist in tow. Visitors will surely gather
a wealth of information at the end of their tour.
