Trinetra Ganesh Temple
The Trinetra Ganesh Temple is situated inside the Ranthambore Fort, and is famous as one of the oldest temples in Rajasthan. It is the only temple in the entire world which houses the entire family of Lord Ganesha while his statue consists of three eyes.
History of Trinetra Ganesh Temple
This famous temple traces its history back to 1299, when a war was being fought between King Hameer & Ala-ud-din Khilji inside Ranthambore Fort. King Hameer was an ardent devotee of Lord Ganesha, and never forgot to offer his prayers to Lord Ganesha even during the battle.
One day, Lord Ganesha appeared in King Hameer’s dreams, and told him that he would be free of all troubles that faced him by the morning. In the morning, surprisingly, a symbol of Lord Ganesh appeared on one of the walls of the fort. What was even more surprising was that the war ended all of a sudden on its own.
Kachida Valley
Kachida Valley is located in close proximity to the outskirts of Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan. This area consists of a large population of panthers, who migrated here to avoid conflicts with the Royal Bengal Tigers. It is also home to a sizable population of sloths, who are attracted towards the bee hives & large ant hills here. You can reach Kachida Valley only via a Jeep Safari. The surroundings are also extremely beautiful & great for some photography.
Raj Bagh Ruins
The Raj Bagh Ruins are situated between Padam Talo & Raj Bagh Talo in Ranthambore National Park. These ancient ruins are stone structures standing in the form of arches, palace outhouses, domes & steps. It lends an air of mystery & history to the surroundings. However, as impressive as these ruins are, they are surrounded by dense jungle, which often serve as the hideout for Royal Bengal Tigers. You can admire these stone ruins from a distance during your wildlife jeep safari in Ranthambore National Park.
Ranthambore Fort
Ranthambore Fort is nestled deep inside the Ranthambore National Park. The National Park consists of an area which used to be hunting grounds of the erstwhile kings of Jaipur. Standing atop a hill of 700 ft, the fort is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under “Hill Forts of Rajasthan”. Among the most popular attractions in Ranthambore, the intimidating fort has been pivotal in the history of the state of Rajasthan.
Ranthambore Fort is believed to have been constructed by the Chauhan’s in the 10th century owing to safety measures. Eventually in the 13th century, the Delhi Sultanate captured the fort. Visitors will find here elements from Rajasthani architecture: towering gates, domes, stone pathways, thick walls, water tanks, and temples. Visitors will enter via one of the seven gates, namely, Ganesh Pol, Andheri Pol, Navlakha Pol, Hathi Pol, Satpol, Suraj Pol and Delhi Pol. Mahadeo Chhatri, Toran Dwar, and Sametonki Haveli are other attractions not to be missed. The on-site Ganesha Temple is widely known among devotees and draws crowds in large numbers.
The panoramic views of the National Park alone make this a worthy visit. The fort is free for all, and opens from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Visitors should try to catch the sunset here. The best time to visit the Ranthambore Fort is from April to October.

Sometimes, visitors can also spot the Indian striped Hyenas, although they are very few in number.
Padam Talao
Located deep inside the Ranthambore National Park, Padam Talao is one of the largest lakes in the city. It is believed that this is the very lake where Princess Padmavati would bathe, and also the place where she committed sati. The beautifully ornate Jogi Mahal stands in close proximity to the lake.
Surrounded by dense forests, the lake is frequented by several animals who make their way to the lake to drink water in the sweltering heat. One can also spot the rare Chinkara Deer in the morning. Since several animals hunt in close proximity to the lake, it is a great spot for wildlife photography. In the summer, when the water starts drying out, you can spot crocodiles and other animals during the summers. Although you cannot go near it, you can catch a glimpse of it while enjoying a jeep safari, or from the Ranthambore Fort.
