How Do You Pronounce "Ranthambore"?
Just wondering...when we tell people where we are going in India, it is nice to pronounce the name of this national park correctly.

Ran tham bore. Just like it looks. Some people put the emphasis on the first syllable, and some on the second syllable, I don't know which is correct.

Indie is right - Ran is pronounced run and not ran. Tham to rhyme with rum but the th is soft like thumb and not hard likes Thames.
