“Ramgarh Vishdhari: Aravalli’s New Tiger Hope”
Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve is a picturesque corridor-shaped tiger sanctuary nestled in the Aravalli Mountain Range. It forms a vital natural corridor linking Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve — the westernmost tiger reserve of the Vindhyan range — with the iconic Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Historically, this area was also known as a preferred “maternity den” for tigresses.
The reserve lies along the banks of the Mez River, a seasonal tributary of the Chambal. The nearest town is Bundi, which serves as the gateway to the park, while Kota is just 30 kilometers away.
At present, the sanctuary is home to one resident adult male tiger, five adult breeding females (all 2.5 years or older), and one cub. Additionally, there is a rewilded male tiger (more on him later). To strengthen the gene pool — which is currently entirely from Ranthambore — a female tiger was recently translocated from Pench Tiger Reserve.
I am optimistic that Ramgarh Vishdhari will emerge as a significant part of a much larger tiger landscape in the coming years. The park itself has the potential to support up to 25 tigers, while the extended Ranthambore–Ramgarh–Kalinda–Mukundra–Joganiya Mata–Begu Bassi landscape could sustainably hold around 200 tigers.
However, realizing this potential will require serious efforts: strengthening the prey base by curbing illegal hunting of herbivores, and strictly regulating human activities, including encroachment by villages and illegal mining within the forest.
Currently, one young male tiger has been confined in a 5-acre enclosure for the past 17 months. This is the same tiger that was rescued as a cub along with his sister from Ranthambore. Under the rewilding program, his sister was released into the wild in Mukundra yesterday, while he continues to be held in captivity.
The primary reason for his prolonged enclosure is the presence of the dominant resident male, RVT R-1 — a powerful and highly territorial tiger. Notably, this young male has already met all the hunting proficiency criteria laid down by NTCA’s Standard Operating Procedure, six months ago. Keeping him caged any longer is unjustified and unfortunate.
In the near future, we can hope that Ramgarh Vishdhari evolves into a robust tiger stronghold, and that tigers from this landscape will naturally expand into the forests of Chittorgarh and Bhilwara districts as well.
With this optimistic vision, I conclude my thoughts. #RVTR #tigercorridor #ranthambhoretigerreserve #Rajasthanforest #Aravalimountain
