Rathambore National Park, India (Center on Interactive Map)

Map of Rathambore National Park, India

Rathambore is lightly forested in the lower reaches, and it is also possible to make a pilgrimage to the old fort (where it is much drier scrubland). This park is famous for tigers although we did not see any.
