Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is situated in Sawai Madhopur District of Rajasthan and is said to be the main business source for the entire district. The park is believed to have contributed about 350 Cr annually to the district through its tourism.

Another reason of the park\u2019s excellent revenue is the initiation of tatkal, full-day and half-day forest safaris from sunrise to sunset.<\/p>\n

The fully independent wildlife reserve, Ranthambore has helped facilitate upgradations of infrastructure at nearby situated Kaila Devi Sanctuary. About 5 Cr each year is set aside to improve the later wildlife park. In Ranthambore itself, significant improvements can be seen which include installation of solar panels and wireless sets and improvement in connectivity, tracks for the guard patrolling and replenishing 100 waterholes.
