If you are wondering about best things to do in Ranthambore (apart from Tiger safari), you are at the right place for the right reason. Palighat Crocodile park is situated on the banks of Chambal River which is about 35 Kms. away from Ranthambore and takes about an hour to reach. There isn't anything better than adding a visit Palighat if you are travelling to Ranthambore and looking for an unforgettable experience by the banks of Chambal River. 

​

Another reason why visiting Palighat crocodile park is one of the best things to do in Ranthambore is, the presence of huge numbers of 'Gharials'; which is already an endangered species, living along with mighty marsh crocodiles within the steams of Chambal river.
