SAFARI CHARGES JEEP SAFARI & CANTER SAFARI

Ranthambore safari charges.

The Safari in the Ranthambore National Park is the most famous wildlife safari in the world for the exclusive tiger sighting. No any wildlife destination in India provides such an excellent opportunity of tiger sighting in their natural habitat as like Ranthambore. Though getting the sight of this elusive and dangerous predator of the forest is sheer luck, but with a little bit of planning can enhance the possibilities of tiger sighting in the Ranthambore forest. It is always advantageous to take at least two or three forest safaris in the different tourism zone. You can take two safaris in two different shifts in the same zone in which the tiger sighting is reported recently and then take one or two safaris in the different zone. With such a planning, you can significantly improve the chances of tiger sighting as well as sightings of the other rare wild animals like sloth bear, leopards, etc.

Types of Safari in Ranthambore :

Ranthambore National Park offers two types of safari vehicle options to get into the forest and explore the wildlife. One is 6-seater Jeep and another is 20-seater Canter, which is allowed to enter the park. Both the vehicles are open from the all sides to provide the best viewing experience in the forest. Both the vehicles are available on seat sharing basis, so you don't have to book the entire Jeep if you are single tourist or in the group of two or three persons. However, you also have the option to book the entire Jeep by paying the required fee for the more personal Safari experience. In both the vehicles, passengers are accompanied by a driver and a naturist guide in each Safari vehicle and their charges are included in the Safari charges, so you don't have to pay any extra charges to them. There are limited numbers of Jeeps and Canters allowed in each tourism zone and the zones are allotted to each vehicle at the time of entrance.

Half Day and Full Day Special Safari:-

The Ranthambore National Park now offers a special advantage for wildlife enthusiasts by providing the facilities of Half-Day and Full-Day Safari. Now, tourists have the option to stay more time inside the park than the standard safari shift time of 3.30 hours. The Half-day safari permits allow the visitors to spend a maximum of 6 hours in the park either in the morning shift from sunrise to 12 noon or the afternoon shift from 12 noon to sunset. The Full-day safari permits allow the visitors to spend a maximum of 12 hours from sunrise to sunset in the park. There is no restriction of Safari routes and tourism zones for the half-day and full-day safari vehicles. There is a limitation of 5 Jeeps per day for Half-day and Full-day safari. During these special safaris, you can either take the packed lunch and have it in the park or come back to the hotel for lunch and visit again to the park.

Charges for the Ranthambore Safari:

Safari Tips for Your Visit to Ranthambore

• The safari tourism zones 1-5 are very much popular among the tourists and considered the "Core" of the park. It is only because of high chances of wildlife sighting in this region. Safari zones 6-10 are considered "Buffer Zones", however tigers can still be spotted in this region too.
• Safari zones of the Ranthambore National Park are closed from July to September during monsoon season.
• Winter season October to February is the most suitable time to visit the park. Though doing morning safari could be tough but animal sighting is very good. During the summer season March to June; the days are very hot. However, this season is also best for spotting animals as they come out in search of water to quench their thrust.
• Your safari experience inside the park depends on your nature guide and driver. When many jeeps converge on one point and travellers shout between vehicles, the disturbance created is not an ideal situation for viewing animals. So be careful and behave properly with wildlife species.

• Ranthambore

Deriving its name from the pictorial fort inside, the Ranthambore National Park is one of India’s most renowned national parks. Located where the Aravali Range and plateau of the Vindhyas meet, Ranthambore National Park was once where the royals of Jaipur hunted. The national park is also considered a prominent heritage site due to the ancient ruins found inside. 

The town of Sawai Madhopur is the gateway to the national park with a thriving biodiversity set among ancient religious structures, several man-made lakes and aesthetically-crumbling cenotaphs. 

Although flanked by the Banas River to the north and the Chambal River to the south, the many lakes inside are not fed by either of the rivers’ waters. Having been declared a national park in 1980 with focus on protection of the endangered tiger, adjacent forests were merged with the Ranthambore National Park a little more than a decade later. The Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary and Kaldevi Sanctuary became part of the tiger reserve, making the national park at Ranthambore one of India’s largest.

You are bound to be enthralled to watch the splendid tiger roam about in its natural habitat, in the wild! Alternating between dry deciduous forests and swathes of grasslands, the Ranthambore National Park is recognised as one of the best places in the country to spot tigers. Today, sprawling across a little more than 1300 square kilometres including core and buffer area, the Ranthambore National Park is every wildlife enthusiast, photographer and a spirited traveller’s haven.

Places to Visit in and Around Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore fort.

At the heart of the Ranthambore National Park is Ranthambore Fort, one of the oldest forts in India. Constructed in the year 944 AD, the fort situated on a hilltop offers possibly the best views of the tiger reserve. Bring along your binoculars to observe the activities of the animals from a distance. The circumference of Ranthambore Fort spans seven kilometres, and the fabulous quality of craftsmanship and interiors is sure to leave you transfixed. 

Although built by a Chauhan warlord, Akbar, the famous Mughal emperor is said to have stayed in the fort as well. The fort is recognised as a World Heritage Site, and remains one of the most popular attractions in Ranthambore. The seven humongous gateways still stand to this day, and the crumbling ruins of Badal Mahal to the north is a sight to behold. However, the Trinetra Ganesh Temple inside the fort is what draws locals and tourists alike. 

In 1300 AD, the final monarch of the Chauhan Empire named King Hammir built the temple with a three-eyed idol of Ganesh adorning the sanctum sanctorum. Hordes of Langurs hover around the temple, and travellers need to watch out for their belongings. Hammir Court in the fort is an acoustic marvel—where even the slightest of whispers from one end can be heard at the other! The Badal Mahal which means the palace of the clouds, stands on 84 columns. This magnificent gazebo is where King Hammir once held court.

Having changed hands several times, a Digambar Jain Temple, a dargah and a mosque are also constructed inside the fort. Gupt Ganga is the perpetual watercourse that flows at the log end of the Ranthambore Fort. A continuous series of rocky steps lead you till the watercourse and is an understated place to catch a sight of a large number of migratory birds. Although Langurs are fairly common, a leopard can catch you by surprise. It’s during these times that a binocular comes handy, and camera with powerful lens is bliss.

Padam Talao

The largest of the three lakes in the park, Padam Talao gets its name from the large number of lotuses. Being one of the major watering holes of Ranthambore National Park, wild animals visit it during dusk and dawn. The legendary guesthouse Jogi Mahal lies on the lake’s fringes, and makes for frame-worthy photographs. The Jogi Mahal is said to be home to India’s second largest Banyan tree, which has been in existence for a staggering six centuries!

Originally constructed as one of the hunting lodges for the royal family of Jaipur, the forest guesthouse is now shut down and is swamped by neighbouring vegetation. To spot the rare Chinkara near the watering hole is an unforgettable experience. For wildlife lovers, the Padam Talao proffers the best of opportunities to observe the inhabitants of the national park.

Rajiv Gandhi Regional Museum of Natural History

A little more than 10 kilometres from Ranthambore National Park, the Rajiv Gandhi Regional Museum of Natural History is located in Sawai Madhopur. The 7.2-acre land on which the museum is situated was originally built to showcase the natural heritage, flora and fauna of the region. 

Around five galleries in the Ranthambore museum are dedicated exclusively to display the biodiversity of Rajasthan, Biomes and Ecosystems, Desert, Ecology and Conservation and the Origin and Evolution of life. An interesting outing for the children awaits.

The museum remains closed on Mondays and other national holidays, throwing open its doors from 10 AM till 5 PM.

Kachida Valley

A Jeep is a preferred way to reach the valley, whose primary inhabitants are another of the big cats—panthers. Tigers form the apex of the food chain in the central areas of the park, and in order to avoid fatal territorial clashes, the panthers are compelled to stay away. 

A majority of Ranthambore’s panthers are concentrated in the valley. Undulating low hills and a rocky terrain compliment fulfilling views of the valley, and a patient wait might just result in spotting a Sloth Bear. A good population of sloth bears makes Kachida Valley the best place to catch the reclusive giant in the wild.

Surwal Lake

Lakarda-Anantpura

The northern periphery of the park has an astonishing number of ant hills, and which the Sloth Bears have great fondness for. Sloth Bears are found here in large numbers, but due to their recluse nature of avoiding human attention, they are fairly hard to spot. 

The Indian Striped Hyenas are another of Lakarda and Anantpura’s celebrated residents. Rarely spotted in the wild, their pugmarks are strewn across the area. The nocturnal hyenas make it nearly impossible to observe.

Trinetra Ganesh Temple

Bakula Region

Other Things to Do in Ranthambore:

Black buck sightseeing.

This particular species of antelopes are exclusive to the Indian Subcontinent. Not found in the national park itself, Black Bucks inhabit the village of Devpura—approximately 15 kilometres away from the park. The rural region sees them clumped together in herds of up to 20.

 You’ll be amazed outright to witness the Black Bucks sprinting at full speed, which is recorded to have exceeded 50 miles per hour! Driving down to the Devpura village is a great chance to experience the idyllic locales, and also to observe the vibrant Bandhani, Lahariya, silver jewellery, textiles and carpets woven by local artists. The vibrancy that Rajasthan is noted for, is on full display here.

Dastkar Ranthambore

In order to utilize the skills and talents of the displaced village-folk, Dastkar offers unique traditional handicrafts that are different from the rest of Rajasthan. The wildlife paintings are a treat for art aficionados, and other handicraft products make superb souvenirs of Ranthambore. 

The regular Rajasthani artefacts are sold—Bandhani works, block-print textiles, handloom skirts and other jewellery are favourites of tourists in many of Ranthambore National Park’s bookings.

Ranthambore School of Art

A little deviation off the road leading to the park takes you to Ranthambore School of Art. The backbone idea behind setting up this school was to instil the tiger in the popular psyche of the people. The Ranthambore School of Art sources its artworks from the students from surrounding villages and towns, and tries to convey the message of tiger conservation. 

A trip to the school will welcome you into a world of tiger-oriented art, and this is where the experience of Ranthambore National Park comes full circle.

Rameshwar Ghat

The Banas and Chambal rivers meet 65 kilometres away from Sawai Madhopur at Rameshwar Ghat. The Chambal River has been declared as the National Chambal Sanctuary by the three states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. 

While you are at Asia’s only riverine eco-system sanctuary, be sure you visit the shrines of Lord Chaturbhuj Nath and Shiva on Rameshwar Ghat. Boasting of a rich biodiversity, the adjoining National Gharial Sanctuary has the Chital, Mongoose, Nilgai, Otter, Crocodile and a host of bird species for wildlife buffs. Additionally, the yearly Shivarathri fair draws thousands of people thronging Rameshwar Ghat.

Amreshwar Mahadeo Temple

One of the oldest Shiva temples around, the Amreshwar Mahadeo Temple is thought to be over 1200 years old. The dense vegetation around the temple caused it to be hidden away for a really long time, before it was discovered and turned hugely popular for the Shivarathri fairs held ever since. 

Even today, one has to walk a kilometre before reaching the temple. Besides its historical and cultural significance, the region around the temple has grown to be a major tourist destination. A cascading waterfall and the marshy groves during monsoon have been popular attractions. An accidental sighting of one of the big cats should always be listed on your agenda.

Raj Bagh Talao

The revered historical ruins of Ranthambore are scattered along the lake, due to which Raj Bagh Talao is considered the most picturesque of all the lakes. The dense vegetation blanketing the area summons a large population of birds and animals for respite from the heat. 

The Sambar Deer and Egrets are regular visitors, while the area around the lake itself falls under one of the prime tiger spotting areas. Be on your toes while here, the big cats might just be around the bend.

A Guide to the Ranthambore National Park Safari: Prices, Tips and What to Expect

• January 2, 2023 January 9, 2023

Embarking on a Ranthambore National Park Safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with its breathtaking scenery, rich wildlife and fascinating history. Located in the Indian state of Rajasthan, it is one of the largest national parks in India and home to some of the world’s most endangered species.

Whether you’re an avid nature lover, an animal enthusiast or just looking for a unique travel experience, there’s something for everyone in Ranthambore. But before you plan your visit, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the park’s prices, tips and what to expect when you’re there.

In this guide, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the Ranthambore National Park Safari – from the best time to visit to the different safari packages available, and the wildlife you can expect to see. So, let’s get started!

Overview of Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the top destinations in India. Among its many attractions, the park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including the coveted Royal Bengal Tiger. The park is also significant for being the place where Mughal Emperor, Akbar hunted his first wild animal at the age of 12.

Ranthambore was once a hunting ground for the Maharajas of the nearby state of Rajasthan, but it was soon converted into a wildlife reserve. The park was established in the year 1973 and has since preserved the natural habitats and species found in the area.

It has also been very successful in conservation efforts, with a 90% successful breeding rate among its tigers.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Ranthambore National Park is between October and June. During this period, the weather is warm, with a minimum temperature of 12 degrees Celsius.

During June, the temperatures rise to a humid 30 degrees Celsius. Ranthambore is a very popular tourist destination, so you’ll need to book your tickets in advance. This is especially important during the month of October when the park celebrates the festival of Sawan, which is a cultural and religious event.

Safari Prices

Now this is the tricky part. We will try our best to keep this section short, but in reality – it’s difficult to find a single answer to this question.

The basic rule of thumb is – when we say it’s a “wild life park”, we mean the animals roam around freely – but probably not you.

Therefore, the price of visiting Ranthambore National Park will depend on the season you visit, the kind of accommodation you choose, how many days you decide to stay and a few other factors. The best-case scenario is a visit during the monsoon season between July and September.

If you visit some months later, you might not be able to see the animals at all, as they are hiding under the dense grass cover. However, you will have a beautiful green landscape to enjoy the entire time you are there.

Also, if you visit the park in the winter season (between November and February), you might see a few animals, but it’s unlikely you will spot a tiger. In the summer season (between March and June), you might get to see some migratory birds. But again, it’s unlikely you will spot a tiger in this season.

So, as you can see, it’s not just a matter of when you visit the park, but also when you visit.

Safari Packages

Ranthambore National Park offers a number of safari packages, depending on the duration of your visit. The packages are as follows: –

Day Trip: If you’re not able to stay overnight, you can opt for a day trip to Ranthambore. During this trip, you’ll be able to explore the park and see the wildlife. However, you won’t be able to go on a full safari as you’ll be visiting the park in the morning and leaving in the afternoon.

• Half-Day Safari: If you only have a few hours to explore the park, you can opt for a half-day safari. This will allow you to explore a limited area of the park, but you’ll be able to see some of the wildlife, such as the leopards, bears and deer.
• Full-Day Safari: You can explore a variety of areas in the park on a full-day safari, including the lake, waterfalls, and the dense forests. This will help you explore almost all the areas of the park, and you’ll also have time to go on a jeep or boat ride.

What to Expect on a Safari

If you’ve never visited a national park, you might be wondering what to expect on a safari. A safari is basically an exploration of an area where you’ll be able to see a variety of wildlife. The safari can be done in a jeep or a boat, and you’ll be accompanied by a guide.

During the trip, you’ll be able to observe the animals in their natural habitat, and you’ll also be able to learn a lot about them. The safari is one of the best ways to explore the national park, and you’ll be able to see everything that it has to offer.

You’ll also be able to gain a new appreciation for the wildlife, as you’ll be able to observe the animals in their natural environment.

Wildlife to Look Out For

During your Ranthambore National Park Safari , you’ll have the opportunity to see many types of wildlife, including the Bengal Tiger, reptiles, birds, and different mammals. Here are some of the species you can expect to see: –

• Bengal Tiger: The Bengal Tiger, also known as the Indian Tiger, is the most common species of tiger found in India. This predator is known for its strength and ferocity, and it is one of the most endangered species in the world. You can expect to see tigers during your safari, but you may not be able to spot them due to their natural habitat.
• Nilgai: The Nilgai is also known as the Blue Bull and is a herbivorous mammal found in India. They are not a part of the Blue Bull family and have a striking resemblance to the cow.
• Indian Jackal: The Indian Jackal is the most common species of jackal found in India. You can find them in a variety of habitats, such as deserts, mountains and grasslands.
• Chital: The Chital is also known as the Spotted Deer and is a species of deer found in the Indian subcontinent. They are also known as the cheetal or spotted deer, as they have a spotted coat during their juvenile years.
• Wild Boar: The Wild Boar is the most common species of wild pigs found in the Indian subcontinent. They are known for their aggressive behaviour and are a huge threat to humans.

Tips for an Enjoyable Safari

• Wear comfortable clothing, such as light cotton pants and shirts, along with a hat and sunscreen.
• Carry a light jacket, as it can get chilly during the nights.
• Keep your valuables in a safe place, as there have been reports of tourists being robbed.
• Avoid wearing jewellery, as leopards are known to attack people.
• Bring water and snacks, as the park restaurants only serve breakfast and lunch.
• Don’t forget your camera and binoculars!

Planning Your Trip

If you’re planning a trip to Ranthambore National Park, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Firstly, you’ll need to decide when you’d like to visit the park. The best time to visit the park is between October and June, as the temperatures are moderate, and the park isn’t too crowded.

You should also decide how long you’d like to stay in the park so that you have enough time to explore every area. You’ll also need to decide how you’d like to explore the park. There are a few options, such as staying at a hotel, renting a houseboat or booking a safari package.

The Ranthambore National Park Safari is a unique travel experience that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. It’s an excellent way to explore the park and see all that it has to offer. And, with a variety of options to choose from, almost anyone can explore this beautiful park.

Whether you’re interested in wildlife, culture or just looking for an exciting adventure, there’s something for everyone in Ranthambore.

Ranthambore National Park: A safari guide's tips on the best time to visit, permits, hotels

By Ria Gupta

Since its inception in 1980, Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan has gained popularity not only for its bloated tiger population, but for the freedom with which predators roam in its vicinity. Tigers walk with humans here. They bask in the sun impervious to camera shutters and roam by the water bodies unhindered by roaring jeeps. Their strength lies not only in their numbers but in their ability to coexist with humans, shares Ranthambore National Park’s first female guide Suraj Bai Meena .

But spotting the tiger doesn’t just depend on how dense the population is. There are various factors that make your safari experience smooth, from the timing of your visit to the safari slot you pick to the proximity of your hotel to the gate. Suraj Bai Meena , who has been working at the park for 18 years now and is a source of inspiration for many women in the town, shares all the insider information for planning your safari right the next time you’re in Ranthambore.

What makes Ranthambore National Park special?

Suraj remembers a time when it wasn’t easy to spot a tiger running wild in the park. But over the years, as the numbers have multiplied at a steady pace with conservation efforts, she’s found sightings to become longer, more frequent and exciting. Ranthambore’s tigers are so comfortable with photography now that they roam freely among humans. She’s witnessed territorial fights between tigers up close.

The sightings are great because the animals at Ranthambore enjoy strong protection. There are security cameras across the woods and there’s also a checkpost every 10km where forest guards keep an eye out for dangers even in the areas cordoned off from our guides. Thanks to the tight security and animals roaming in confidence, Ranthambore is a photographer’s paradise. “Imagine watching a tiger fight its own children to grab the female's attention. As its roars reverberate through the woods, it’s hard not to shake in fear. Now, imagine hearing it from a spitting distance .”

What to spot at Ranthambore National Park?

For their ever-increasing numbers and unique nonchalance, tigers have become a revered favourite in this park. Suraj counts over 76 tigers here—about 26 females, 26 cubs and 24-25 male tigers. Also, keep your eyes peeled for leopards, sloth bears, hyenas, jackals, foxes and antelopes.

Around 150 bird species reside in the park; photographers especially come to spot migratory birds such as the paradise flycatcher in the summer. Suraj’s most unique sighting has been the honey badger—a rare sighting that is appreciated only by wildlife enthusiasts and academia in her experience. For the best chances of spotting a tiger, she suggests consulting with your guide about the best zones. These insider experts have a finger on the pulse of everything, from where female tigresses have laid cubs to where there’s a turf war going on between two males.

What's the best time to go to Ranthambore National Park?

If you visit between October to February, you will get a great view with a lot of greenery. But you may not spot the tiger. There's ample vegetation around to hide in, and food and water are everywhere. So tigers will stay within a small area where all their needs are fulfilled. Therefore, March to May is the preferred time for sightings. Ranthambore is covered with dry deciduous forests where water dries up fast. Suraj reveals that many NGOs—in collaboration with the government–have created man-made solar-powered waterfalls here. All animals inevitably circle back to these water bodies to drink water. June onwards the tigers begin to go back into hiding for the monsoon . From July to September, the core zones from one to five fill up with water and hence remain shut.

How many safaris should you do during a 3-night stay?

Set out on at least four safaris in a span of three days. Rest and roam on the day of your arrival. Keep some buffer time right before your departure as the park is over three hours from the airport.

What are the safari slots at Ranthambore?

The regular safari is three-hour long and happens twice a day—morning and evening. Suraj is not partial to any slot when it comes to sightings. In the morning, though, there’s ample movement—the tigers are up and ambulating, while in the afternoon they may be snoozing in the shade. Though timings for the safari slots vary as per season, the last safari always wraps up before sunset . The timings as per season are:

Shikha Tripathi

Arundhati Ail

10 to 31 October : Morning - 6.30am to 10am; evening - 2.30pm to 6pm 1 November to 31 January : Morning - 7am to 10.30am; evening - 2pm to 5.30pm 1 February to 31 March : Morning - 6.30am to 10am; evening - 2.30pm to 6pm 1 April to 15 May : Morning - 6am to 9.30am; evening - 3pm to 6.30pm 16 May to 30 June : Morning - 6am to 9.30 am; evening - 3.30pm to 7pm.

How to book a safari permit at Ranthambore and how much does it cost?

For jeep safaris, you can book your permit online on the  Rajasthan SSO website . Suraj warns that bookings for April are sold out by December. So this might not be the most ideal place for that spontaneous Rajasthan road trip. On-the-spot bookings are only available for canters and not jeeps. The canter is a 20-seater vehicle priced at Rs850* per person. The jeep can be booked at Rs1,250* per person.

How to book a jeep and guide at Ranthambore?

There are about 250 guides at Ranthambore National Park. A roster is maintained by the forest department and you’re assigned your jeep and guide according to it. The contact numbers as well as vehicle numbers are mentioned in the ticket you get after booking your permit. Alternatively, you can ask to choose your guide at the time of presenting your ticket at an additional fee of Rs1,300*.

Which zones are the best at Ranthambore National Park?

Zones one to five are considered to be the best. They’re the oldest, therefore the best maintained with ample variety of vegetation. Zones six to 10 are more easily accessible to locals. Hence, they have a lot of movement from locals as well as other free-roaming animals.

What are the best hotels in Ranthambore?

The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort (doubles from Rs73,500* including all meals, book here ) is only a 10-minute drive from the main entry gate for zones one to five. You can indulge in open-air yoga and wellness therapies after a day in the wild here. Also close to the gate is Aman-i-Khas (doubles from Rs1,11,000* including all meals, book here ), where each of the 10 tents comes with sundecks. There’s a spa and a library as well. Sawai Vilas (doubles from Rs16,000*, book here ) is a boutique hotel that stands adjacent to the park, and has its own wildlife visits, from over 200 species of birds, jungle cats, antelope, and wild boar.

Besides jeep drives, what else can you do in Ranthambore?

When in Ranthambore, try the Chambal safari. River Chambal flows around Ranthambore, and tourists can explore its beauty by boat. Spot alligators and birds like the northern pintail, egrets, herons, storks, and flamingos. You can also take a walk down to Ranthambore Fort, which stands in the middle of the forest. The view is great from there, and who knows, you can even spot a tiger on your way to the monument. Tickets for the boat safari can be booked on the spot.

How to get to Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore is well connected by road, air and railway. From Delhi , you can cover the 462km in eight hours by road. Otherwise, trains are a great option. Ranthambore’s railway station is 8km from the main entry gate. If you're flying in, catch a flight to Jaipur International Airport. From there, you can cover the 181km to Ranthambore in three hours by train or by car.

The Ultimate Ranthambore National Park Safari Travel Guide

Last Updated on December 28, 2022 by Natalia

Taking a safari to see the majestic tigers of Ranthambore National Park is one of the highlights of any Rajasthan itinerary. Home to over 60 tigers, the park is one of the best places in the world to see these magnificent creatures. The chances of seeing a tiger in Ranthambore National Park are quite good, especially if you take multiple safaris, but there’s plenty of other wildlife in the park including sloth bears, monkeys, deer, crocodiles and leopards. We were lucky enough to go on safari in Ranthambore 4 times in 2019, experiencing both canter and jeep/gypsy safaris, so have plenty of tips and information about visiting. Find out everything you need to know and our top tips for seeing tigers with this Ranthambore National Park Safari travel guide!

It’s not possible to stay inside Ranthambore National Park as accommodation and hotels aren’t allowed in order to protect the animals’ habitat, but check out our list of the best hotels and resorts nearby!

How to get to Ranthambore National Park

First up on our Ranthambore travel guide is how to get there. Sawai Madhopur is the closest city to Ranthambore National Park, which makes it the ideal place to stay when visiting the park. Thankfully the city has good public transport links with several major cities, so it’s both easy and relatively cheap to get there.

The best way to get to Ranthambore National Park is to take the train to Sawai Madhopur, with direct trains to the city running from Jaipur , Agra, Jodhpur , Delhi, Udaipur and more.

If you plan to take the train then it’s worth booking your tickets as soon as possible, as trains can sell out weeks in advance in India. There were a couple of times where we didn’t book trains early enough and had to rearrange our whole itinerary as a result – so learn from our mistakes!

Fortunately it’s easy to book train tickets to Sawai Madhopur online in advance through 12GoAsia, which is extremely useful as it’s not possible for non-Indian residents to buy tickets through the official Indian Railways website.

Click here to check schedules and book train tickets to Sawai Madhopur through 12GoAsia!

Although it’s potentially possible to get to Sawai Madhopur by bus, we would recommend travelling by train instead. Trains are only slightly more expensive and tend to be a lot more comfortable than the buses.

If you don’t have the time to spend a few days in Sawai Madhopur then an alternative is to take a day trip from Jaipur to Ranthambore National Park. It’s a long day taking a Ranthambore safari from Jaipur though, so we recommend staying for longer if you can make it work.

Best time to visit Ranthambore National Park

There is no definitive best time to visit Ranthambore National Park for your safari. Whatever time of year you visit there are no guarantees of what wildlife you will see, so a lot of it ends up being down to luck.

Two of the best months for seeing tigers in Ranthambore are May and June. During these months the average temperature is around 34-35 degrees Celsius with highs of around 40-41 degrees Celsius.

As a result of the heat, the tigers are seen more often as they need to come out from shelter to drink from the lakes and other water sources. This does give you a better chance of seeing the tigers, but also means you will have to put up with the intense heat yourself.

Zone 3 is particularly good to visit during the hotter months as it’s home to 3 lakes, including Padam Lake – the largest lake in Ranthambore National Park. With some luck it’s possible to see tigers and other animals drinking from the lake due to the heat.

It’s worth considering whether you really want to put up with such high temperatures before visiting in May or June. When Natalia first visited India back in 2014 she was in the country during May and June and said the heat was unbearable.

If you would prefer to visit when it’s a bit less hot then any time from November to April is good for visiting Ranthambore for a safari – just make sure to bring some slightly warmer clothes to avoid wind chill if you visit during the winter months.

Visiting during October isn’t normally recommended as it’s just after the monsoon season and so tiger sightings are less common as there is more water in the park. That being said, we visited in October and we saw tigers on 3 out of 4 safaris.

Realistically tiger sightings can happen at any time of year, you just need a bit of luck. If you spend long enough in the area and take multiple safaris then hopefully you should see a tiger no matter what time of year you visit!

Monsoon Season in Ranthambore

Traditionally Ranthambore National Park closes and stops safaris for the months of July, August and September due to the monsoon season and to avoid disturbing the tigers during their mating season. In recent years however, the park has only closed zones 1-5 during these months and have kept zones 6-10 open to tourists.

It’s best to search for up to date information regarding the opening and closure of zones within the park during these months, as there is no confirmation that zones 6-10 will remain open during the monsoon season every year.

It’s also worth noting that some zones, in particular 7 and 8, may be closed if the rain causes the roads in the zones to be unsuitable for driving.

Jeep vs Canter for Ranthambore National Park Safari

There are two different types of safaris you can take in Ranthambore National Park – a jeep safari or a canter safari. Jeep safaris are sometimes referred to as gypsy safaris, but it’s just a different name for exactly the same thing.

The difference between the two is the size of the vehicle and therefore the number of people on board. Jeeps seat a maximum of 6 people and are much smaller, whereas canters can seat up to 20 people and are significantly larger vehicles.

As part of our Ranthambore travel guide we would chose jeeps over canters.

This is because jeeps more comfortable with fewer people and are more mobile, meaning they can get to certain areas in Ranthambore the canters can’t.

On our first visit to Ranthambore we took a canter safari, but we didn’t enjoy the experience as much as we hoped – even though we saw a tiger within a few minutes of entering the national park!

For our remaining 3 safaris we went in a jeep and found it to be a much better experience. The jeep safaris felt more personal as it’s easier for the guide and driver to point out wildlife to you.

In a canter the guide has to try and point out animals to 20 people at once, which can make it hard to see where you should be looking.

Jeep safaris in Ranthambore National Park do cost more than canter safaris, but the price difference isn’t too big. Considering it only costs slightly more to take a jeep safari we definitely think it’s worth spending a little bit extra for a better experience. If you’ve come all this way to go on a safari, why settle for second best?

The cost of a safari in Ranthambore National Park varies depending on how you decide to book. It is possible to book directly through the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan’s website, but the process is quite confusing and complicated.

If you book your visit to Ranthambore National Park through the government’s website then a canter safari costs approximately 1,428 rupees per person and a jeep safari costs approximately 1,698 rupees per person.

Alternatively, if you go through a 3rd party such as a tour operator or hotel then costs will vary but we paid 2,000 rupees each for a canter safari and 3,000 rupees each for a jeep safari.

Which zone is best for a Ranthambore National Park Safari?

Ranthambore National Park has a total of 10 zones, but it’s only possible to visit one zone per safari. There is much discussion over which zones are the best for seeing the famous Ranthambore tigers, with zones 1-5 generally seen as the best zones.

Although these zones are considered to be better, it’s still not possible to guarantee tiger sightings. It also doesn’t mean that you won’t see a tiger if you visit any of the zones 6-10.

The best zones to visit in Ranthambore National Park for a safari actually vary from day to day depending on sightings. If a tiger or tigers have been seen in any zone over the past few days then you generally have a better chance of seeing the a tiger in a zone with a recent sighting.

We do not recommend a particular zone over another in this Ranthambore travel guide as it really does depend where recent sightings of a tiger are for near to when you are visiting.

Depending on how far in advance you book your safari it isn’t always possible to specify what zone you’d like to visit in Ranthambore National Park. There are limits on the number of jeeps and canters in each zone, and so booking further in advance gives you the best chance of choosing your desired zone.

Safaris in Ranthambore are split into two time slots – morning safaris and afternoon safaris. Every day at 10am additional jeep and canter safaris go on sale for all zones for that afternoon and the following morning.

By booking a safari this way you’re able to take into account recent sightings and hopefully visit a zone that gives you the best chance of seeing a tiger. To do this we strongly recommend using a reliable local operator who knows the booking system.

We were lucky enough to find an extremely good operator who was able to get us safaris this way. He was able to get us one safari in zone 3, one in zone 4 and two in zone 6.

The operator kept up to date on recent sightings and prioritised getting us safaris in zones where tigers had been seen that morning, or in the last few days. As a result we saw tigers on 3 out of 4 safaris – which was extremely lucky as sightings are normally less common during October.

In reality there is no ‘best zone’ in Ranthambore National Park, as it just depends on recent sightings and a bit of luck. We recommend using a quality local operator to book your safari when the additional slots become available.

As part of our Ranthambore travel guide we recommend staying in Sawai Madhopur and do a number of safaris during your stay. This gives you the best possible chance of seeing a tiger, and also means the operator has more chances to get you a safari in a zone with recent sightings.

If you want to book through the same operator as us then visit the Cultural Safari Tours website and contact them via email or whatsapp to arrange your Ranthambore safaris. They’re experts at what they do and helped us achieve our dream of seeing tigers in the wild!

Ranthambore Safari Times

Safaris in Ranthambore National Park are split into two time slots – morning safaris and afternoon safaris. The exact timings of the safaris depend on the time of year due to the variation in daylight hours.

A safari in Ranthambore National Park lasts for approximately 3-3½ hours in general. Morning safaris run from 6am to 10.30am depending on the time of year. Afternoon safaris run from either 2pm to 7pm depending on the time of year.

Click here for a breakdown of safari timings by exact dates!

It’s worth noting that when we did our canter safari we spent considerably less time inside Ranthambore National Park in comparison to our jeep safaris. We were in the park for less than 2 hours on our canter safari, whereas we spent around 3½ hours in the park for every jeep safari we did.

The longer you spend in the park, the better chance you have of seeing a tiger regardless of whether you visit in the morning or afternoon. In our opinion it’s definitely worth paying extra for a jeep safari to increase your chances of spotting tigers!

How to book a safari in Ranthambore National Park online

Booking a safari in Ranthambore National Park is relatively straightforward if you decide to book through a local tour operator or a third party such as Get Your Guide. As we’ve said above we recommend booking through Cultural Safari Tours as they are experienced in booking Ranthambore safaris and in our experience provide an excellent service.

The price will vary depending on who you book through but we paid 2,000 rupees per person for a canter safari and 3,000 rupees per person for a jeep safari. This price included all entrance fees, guide fees and vehicle fees, as well as return transport from our hotel in Sawai Madhopur to Ranthambore National Park.

If you want to book through Get Your Guide then they offer canter safaris for 2,000 rupees per person and shared jeep safaris for 2,500 rupees per person.

Although going through an operator like Get Your Guide is a good idea in many ways, you won’t have any say on what zone your safari is in. If you book through a local operator you have a bit more say about which zones you want to visit – although there is no guarantee you will actually get the zones you want anyway!

The final option is to book the safari yourself through the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan’s website. Doing it this way will work out cheaper, with the price for a Ranthambore safari in 2020 being approximately 1,428 rupees per person for a canter safari and 1,698 rupees per person for a jeep safari.

Unfortunately the website isn’t the easiest to navigate and we recommend paying the extra for the convenience of having it arranged for you.

Ranthambore Safari Tips

Take multiple safaris  – If you really want to see a tiger in Ranthambore National Park then we recommend doing multiple safaris as said before in this travel guide. Even though it’s one of the best places in the world to see tigers, sightings are by no means guaranteed. If you visit more than once you increase your chances of getting lucky!

After our first 3 safaris we weren’t sure whether to take a 4th, but we ended up having our closest encounter with a tiger on our 4th safari so it was well worth it. Even if you get lucky and see a tiger on your first safari, it can still be worth doing more safaris anyway!

Bring plenty of water  – Safaris in Ranthambore National Park last around 3½ hours from start to finish, so make sure you bring enough water with you – particularly if you’re visiting during the hotter months, such as May and June.

Get some binoculars  – If you want to get a good view of the tigers or animals then it’s worth bringing a pair of binoculars. In an ideal world you’ll have a great sighting of a tiger relatively close up, but in many cases the animals are often in the distance.

Out of the 3 tiger sightings we had, only one was close enough to see well with the naked eye. By bringing a pair of binoculars you should still get a relatively good view anyway, so it’s worth the investment. We recommend checking out Amazon to pick up a pair of binoculars if you don’t already have some!

Buy a zoom lens – As we’ve said above, tigers and animals aren’t always close up when you see them on safari. If you want to get the best possible pictures then it’s worth buying a lens with a good zoom, as well as a good quality camera if you haven’t already got one.

We got a 70-300mm lens before we visited Ranthambore, and it helped us get some lovely pictures that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. There are plenty of great cameras and zoom lenses available on amazon –  click here to take a look for yourself!

Wear suitable clothes  – Check the forecast and wear appropriate clothes for the weather. During the warmer months you’ll want to wear light clothing for your safari, but during the winter months you may actually need some layers to keep you warm earlier or later in the day. It’s also a good idea to wear a hat for extra protection from the sun.

Use sun cream  – Make sure to put on sun cream to keep yourself protected, especially during the warmer months!

Mosquito repellent  – It’s also a good idea to use mosquito repellent to protect yourself against mosquito borne diseases especially for the evening safaris.

Full day safari ranthambore.

Full-day and Half Day safaris discontinued at Ranthambore immediately effective October 2022. You can now opt for full-day safaris at Central Indian Parks- Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench and Tadoba. You can read more about full-day safaris at these parks  here Full-day/half-day safari option is now being offered at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve to visitors apart from regular day visit permits in 2020 as well. Under this scheme maximum of 5 jeeps are permitted to stay inside the forest from sunrise to sunset & are provided zone-free access across the entire park, of course, it does come at a cost. 

Half-day Safari at Ranthambore

Visitors would now have the option to spend more time in the forest than on regular 3.30 hours shifts by booking a half-day safari. Half-day permits would be issued for 2 slots- sunrise to noon & 12 noon to sunrise for a maximum of 6 hours each.

Advantages of Full day

More time – More time in the park simply means more time to track tigers and other wildlife. We all know the importance of this extra time -no need to leave an interesting subject just because time is getting over for a normal safari. These extra minutes or hours become important because a lot of times animal movement happens early morning & late evening.

Better sighting opportunities- With additional time & zone-free access one has more sighting opportunities as compared to a regular safari. For all you know your jeep could be the only jeep at that spot.

No route restrictions -In a normal safari one has to travel on a preassigned route. At times when you are sure about a potential sighting on a given route you might not be able to secure the route, frustrating at times for sure. It is to be noted that one has access to areas open for tourism only.

No zone restriction – zone restrictions do not apply restriction is not applicable to visitors on full-day permits. No need to change the zone basis a good sighting in a previous safari, on a full-day/half-day tour you can move between zones. This means ultimate freedom & flexibility in tracking wildlife.

Hassle-free-  In a normal safari at most of the reserves you get a different guide & driver each time and it is sometimes difficult to have a similar safari experience on all safaris. In the case of full-day safaris, you have the same driver & naturalist accompanying you on all safaris. This definitely is a huge advantage-they know your preferences and have knowledge of your equipment and images made so far which helps in planning safaris and sightings.

The Jungle Safari

Enquire Now

Experience it all

An early morning safari or an afternoon one at the National park is an experience to behold.

Our experienced naturalists will help you explore the abundant wildlife that the Ranthambore National Park, sprawled over an estimated area of 400 sq. kms, has to offer. Besides the magnificent Bengal Tiger, it is a host to over 200 species of birds, both resident and migratory, leopards, jungle cats, striped hyenas, a variety of antelopes & deer, and other mammals.

When planning a safari in India, you may have certain expectations based on your prior experiences on African safaris. In that case, you won’t believe how different Indian safaris are from their African counterparts. The Tiger which is the mainstay of Safaris in India is an elusive animal compared to its African brethren. Besides, the terrain and the undergrowth in Indian Jungles are far heavier than in Africa, so it is exceedingly tough to spot the gorgeous Tiger in its home. But with skilled drivers and guides, this close-to-impossible scenario of monitoring Tigers is made uncomplicated. Guests on a safari in Kanha ride in an open Jeep that can accommodate up to five people. This is a 4WD Maruti Suzuki, also known as a Maruti Gypsy. With its rugged construction and whisper-quiet engine, this vehicle is perfect for exploring India’s national parks in search of exotic wildlife.

When you go on a safari, you’ll always have a licensed driver and a trained forest guide with you. A forest guide that goes along with you to make sure you know all the rules and regulations of the park. The driver and the forest guide will typically make every effort to locate the majestic King of the Jungle, using techniques such as following the Tiger’s footprints, listening to the alarm calls of the park’s various denizens when the Tiger is spotted, and communicating with other drivers and guides in other vehicles when they cross paths. It’s incredible that the drivers and guides can keep tabs on the tiger’s whereabouts without the ubiquitous wifi equipment of African safaris.

Time & Zones

An early morning safari (06:30 AM to 9:45 AM) and an afternoon safari (02:15 PM to 05:30 PM), between 1st October to 30th June every year. This three to three and half hour safari takes you through a journey that will be remembered for a lifetime. Within 10 different zones for tourists inside the park, the vehicles go anywhere on the network of tracks that exists in the zone. A maximum of 8 vehicles take visitors across each zone at any point in time.

Additional information:

• All permits are issued by the National Park of Ranthambore, they have the right to accept or reject applications for full-day/half-day safaris. • A limited number of full-day/half-day permits (5 per day) are issued for each day, one has to apply well in advance to ensure entry. • The park management randomly appoints vehicles, drivers, and naturalists for the safari. Visitors can choose either of them for an additional cost. • These special safaris are far more flexible and productive, improving the quality of the safari experience. • To get these full-day and half-day Safari rates and additional information, please drop us an email at: [email protected]

Depending on the season, the climate of Ranthambore National Park varies substantially. Overnight temperatures in December and January can fall below 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit). The daytime high temperature can reach up to 25°C (77°F). Keeping this in mind, visitors to Ranthambore National Park in the winter should dress warmly in layers that may be quickly removed or added as needed.

The summer months of April, May, and June are the warmest months to visit Ranthambore National Park. Temperatures reach beyond 40°C (104°F) during the day and drop to approximately 25°C (77°F) at night. Some may find the heat uncomfortable, but for others this is the perfect time of year to visit Ranthambore. Due to the fact that the summer heat dries up the majority of watering holes, we can readily forecast where the tigers will be hanging out, with the exception of the few surviving water sources. Professional wildlife photographers who wish to maximise their chances of spotting a large cat favour the summer months.

July, August, and September are the months of the monsoon season. The likelihood of a sighting is at its lowest, and tourists should anticipate sudden, intense rainfall. Temperatures range from approximately 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 96°F), and the air is humid.

Aside from the monsoon season (July, August, and September), Ranthambore experiences scant precipitation. Winter (December and January) visitors may encounter fog in the early mornings, but otherwise Ranthambore enjoys bright, clear, and dry skies.

What season is ideal for visiting Ranthambore National Park?

The best time of year to visit Ranthambore National Park depends on your personal preferences and needs. If you want to experience the most agreeable weather, October, November, February, or March are the best months. The summer months of April, May, and June are more fruitful in terms of sightings, but most people find them unbearably hot.

Between October and June is typically the best time to explore Ranthambore National Park.

The park’s outermost zones (6–10) remain accessible during the monsoon months of July, August, and September. It is a beautiful time of year to observe the forest thriving with vegetation, but the likelihood of spotting a tiger is lower than during drier seasons.

The jungle safari at Ranthambore National Park happens twice a day, every day, between the months of October and June and is a popular tourist attraction in Rajasthan. The wildlife safari is only permitted during the months of October-June and is not available on Wednesdays, as the park remains closed.

The park also reserves a certain number of seats every morning for slots in the evening of that day and the following morning. You can book the seats for your safari online.

A Brief Insight into Ranthambore Tiger Reserve

Ranthambore National Park is among the foremost tiger reserves in the world that shelters the Bengal Tiger species. It is a favorite destination for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts. Located in Sawai Madhopur, in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve has emerged as a renowned destination for wildlife tourism in India. Uniquely, the tigers here are active during the day, unlike most tigers that are typically nocturnal.

Given the substantial number of tigers that roam freely within the park, there’s a good chance of spotting one during a visit. These majestic creatures exist nonchalantly in the reserve, so if you’re keen on a close encounter, allowing you to observe them in all their grandeur, then a jungle safari is the way to go. Ranthambore National Park offers safaris for visitors eager to see the tigers in their natural habitat. In addition to the tigers, one might also encounter other wildlife such as leopards, hyenas, wild cats, reptiles, and a variety of birds that call Ranthambore home.

Best of Ranthambore’s Safari Zones

Ranthambore National Park is divided into ‘core areas’ and ‘buffer zones’. The ‘core areas’ are regions where tigers roam freely. To protect and support their habitat, deforestation and other commercial activities are prohibited in these areas. In contrast, ‘buffer zones’ are areas of the reserve where the land can be used by local people for farming or other purposes while still being managed for conservation by the government.

For visitor convenience, Ranthambore National Park is segmented into 10 zones for tiger sightings. Zones 1-5 constitute the core areas, while zones 6-10 are part of the buffer zone. Zones 3, 4, and 5 are particularly popular and preferred by many visitors. During the summer, tigers are more easily sighted in these zones due to the presence of lakes and other water bodies. These sites attract tigers and other animals looking to quench their thirst in the hot season.

Best Time for Ranthambore’s Jungle Safari

The best time to visit Ranthambore National Park is during the months of October to March since the weather is pleasant to travel. But it is during the months of April to June that you can see tigers more since they can be seen near the lakes and other water bodies to quench their thirst during the hot summer season.

• Advance Booking: Ensure you book your Ranthambore safari well in advance. Due to its popularity, failing to do so might result in not getting your preferred zone, vehicle, or even a seat.
• Multiple Safaris: Consider taking multiple safaris. This increases your chances of sighting a tiger, as sightings are influenced by both seasons and tiger movements.
• Hydration: Bring plenty of water. A safari typically lasts around 3 and a half hours.
• Binoculars: Given that animals might be distant, carrying binoculars can enhance your viewing experience.
• Clothing: Opt for earthy-toned clothes like brown, green, and beige. These help you blend in with the surroundings. Avoid bright colors like red, which might make animals cautious and deter them from approaching.

Dos and Don’ts During the Safari

• Protection: Carry sun hats, scarfs, and masks. The park’s climate is dry, and there can be considerable dust.
• Behavior: Stay composed and calm. Always listen to your guide.
• Feeding: Never feed the animals. They have ample food, and feeding them can be dangerous given their wild nature.
• Littering: Avoid littering during your safari. Instead, dispose of waste at designated spots.
• Vehicle Safety: Do not disembark from your vehicle and always remain seated.
• Noise: Refrain from making loud noises or sounds. This could deter animals and hinder sightings.
• Substances: Smoking and alcohol consumption are prohibited within the park’s premises.

RANTHAMBORE Half Day & Full Day Safari

Ranthamborehalf day & full day safari.

Recently the management of Ranthambore National Park has changed rules and regulation and now allow longer timed safari to a selected few numbers of vehicles that permits visitors to stay on safari. These are known as “Half Day” (for six hours) and “Full Day” (for twelve hours) safaris. Both safaris offer far more flexibility to visitors.

Half-day safari in Ranthambore

Visitors can now spend more time in the national park than the usual 3.30 hours by booking a half-day safari. Offers the opportunity to enter the entire park zone for free. Half-day tickets he is issued in two variations. 1) From sunrise to noon. or 2) from noon to sunset, up to 6 hours.

Full-day safari in Ranthambore

A visitor can now spend his day in the national park. A maximum of 5 jeeps are permitted in the park from sunrise to sunset, providing zone-free access throughout the park. This safari offers the best chance to see a wide variety of wildlife within the park.

Advantages of Full day / Half day

MORE TIME - Spending more time in the park simply means more time tracking tigers and other wildlife. Throughout the day, visitor entry is allowed 15 minutes before the normal entry time, with an additional 15-minute time slot after the normal safari time. We all know how important extra time is. If you find a tiger before everyone arrives, you don't have to abandon an interesting topic just because the normal safari time is over. Minutes and hours matter.

Better Sighting Opportunities - With the extra time and zone-free access there are more sighting opportunities compared to a regular safari.As far as you know your Jeep may be the only Jeep at the moment.

No Route Restrictions - A regular safari requires you to travel along a pre-determined route. Even if you're confident that a particular route can be discovered, sometimes it can be frustrating to not be able to secure it. You can navigate to any zone of your choice and switch from one zone to another as many times as you like. This gives you complete freedom when spotting wildlife.

Hassle-Free - On regular safaris, it can be difficult to have a similar safari experience every safari as you get a different guide and driver each time. I have a naturalist. This is a huge advantage as they know your preferences, know your gear and take photos to help you plan your safaris and sightings.

Additional information:

• All permits are issued by Ranthambore National Park, which reserves the right to approve or deny applications for a full/half-day safari.
• Full-day/half-day permits (5 per day) are limited in number per day and must be requested in advance to guarantee entry.
• Park management randomly appoints safari vehicles, drivers, and naturalists. The visitor, for an additional fee, he can choose from two. Please email [email protected] for additional costs and vehicle, driver, and naturalist availability.

The above benefits that these special safaris offer make these special safaris more flexible and productive. Visitors can spend more time among wildlife without being confined to fixed zones and can choose the best drivers, naturalists, and vehicles. In practice, this makes a big difference in the quality of the safari. Especially for photographers and visitors with a special interest.

Book Your Jungle Safari

Great opportunity for adventure & travels, safety first always, low price & friendly, trusted travel guide, a wildlife safari in ranthambore.

Ranthambore is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise, boasting an impressive array of inhabitants, including leopards, nilgais, wild boars, sambars, hyenas, sloth bears, and chitals, among others. This lush haven is not limited to terrestrial fauna; it embraces a diverse spectrum of life, from towering trees to vibrant plants, from the enchanting world of birds to the mesmerizing realm of reptiles.

With over 270 species of birds, Ranthambore is a sanctuary for avian enthusiasts. The reserve’s vibrant bird population thrives in this natural haven.

In 2005, the tiger population stood at 26, marking a notable decline from the 44 tigers recorded in 1982. However, in 2008, non-governmental sources reported 34 adult tigers in Ranthambhore. The conservation efforts and wildlife management authority achieved a remarkable milestone with the birth of more than 14 tiger cubs, underlining their dedication to protecting these majestic creatures.

The tigers of Ranthambhore have become celebrated figures, known by distinctive names and unique identifying marks. These magnificent creatures have forged emotional connections with wildlife experts, photographers, and jungle officials. Some famous names include Machali (T-16), Dollar (T-25), Sitara (T-28), Bina One, Bina Two, and many more. Notably, Ranthambhore has seen a significant increase in its tiger population, owing to successful relocations to nearby reserves like Sariska Tiger Reserve. In a recent example, the tigress sisters, Bina One and Bina Two, found a new home, contributing to the tiger conservation efforts.
