RAS question

Ranthambore National Park is in which district?

Correct answer: (B) Sawai Madhopur.

Ranthambore National Park is in Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan.

  1. (A)

    Kota

  2. (B)

    Sawai Madhopur

  3. (C)

    Bundi

  4. (D)

    Tonk

Explanation

Ranthambore National Park belongs to Sawai Madhopur district. The Rajasthan Forest Department’s official list of national parks and sanctuaries places “Ranthambore National Park” in the National Parks section and gives its district as “Sawai Madhopur”. This matches the core exam fact: Ranthambore is the Sawai Madhopur national park known for Bengal tigers, and it was declared a national park in 1980. For RAS purposes, the key is not just recognising the park’s name, but linking each protected area to its district. Here, that district link is Sawai Madhopur, so option B is the only correct choice.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Kota is associated here with Mukundra Hills, while the official Forest Department table lists Ranthambore National Park under Sawai Madhopur district.
  • (C) Bundi may be adjacent, but adjacency does not make it the district of Ranthambore National Park.
  • (D) Tonk lies to the west, but the cited official listing gives Ranthambore National Park’s district as Sawai Madhopur, not Tonk.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan’s protected-area geography, especially matching national parks and sanctuaries with their districts. Such location facts recur in RAS because they connect environment, tourism and district-level geography in one quick recall item.
