Ranipur Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Chitrakoot district, India
Ranipur Sanctuary is a wildlife reserve in Chitrakoot district, Uttar Pradesh, spanning several hundred square kilometers of varied terrain. It contains a core protected area in the center surrounded by a larger buffer zone.
The reserve was established in 1977 as part of India's wildlife conservation program and received tiger reserve status in 2022. This designation marked an important milestone for protecting this region.
The reserve supports employment for people in the Bundelkhand region while helping protect natural resources and the environment in this part of India.
The best time to visit is between November and March when conditions are most pleasant. The nearest railway station is at Manikpur, which offers good access to the area.
Although the reserve has no permanent tiger residents, tigers from the neighboring Panna Reserve regularly visit the area. This makes it an important corridor for tiger movement in the region.
