Flora
Ranthambore National Park is a blend of the dense green region and the sparse shrubbery in the desert region makes this land a unique site for nature lovers. It is estimated that there are nearly 300 species of vegetation found in and around the Ranthambore reserve forest. The area in the proximity of the Thar Desert gets very scant rainfall so the plant life here consists mainly of dry deciduous type.
The most dominant plant o the National Park is the 'Dhok'. This tropical tree constitutes more than three-fourth of the vegetation of this national forest. The tree has a height of up to 15 meters and its shrubs and fruits constitute major foods for the animals such as Deer, Antelope and Nilgai. Apart from the Dhok tree, the other prime trees of this park are Banyan, Pipal and Neem. These trees have religious as well as medicinal values. The fruit trees which are prominently found in the Ranthambore are the Mango, Tamarind also known as Imli, Jamun is also known as the Indian blackberry and Ber. The Chhila , also known as the flame of the forest or Palaash due to its bright orange colour, enhances the beauty of the landscape here and offers fabulous scenes for nature lovers.
