• Wildlife Tour Packages
• Travel Information

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. Bookings for the Ranthambore safaris are handled by the Forest Department and are offered in two formats: Jeep Safari and Canter Safari. The Jeep Safari can accommodate up to 6 people, while the Canter Safari can hold up to 20 people at a time.

Although the Ranthambore’s Jeep Safari is slightly more expensive than the Canter, it is recommended by visitors who have experienced the wildlife of the park because it allows for more flexibility in movement and can access areas the Canter cannot.

The Safari lasts approximately 3 and a half hours and occurs twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. Since these safaris are very popular, it’s advisable to book well in advance. 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.

Wildlife That Can Be Spotted During Ranthambore Jungle Safari

Being a tiger reserve, Ranthambore National Park has a large number of Tigers in its habitat. It also has other big cats such as-

• Fishing Cat

Apart from the wild cats, the park has other wild animals as well, such as:

• Indian Wild Boar
• Hanuman Langurs
• Sambar Deer
• Spotted Deer
• Indian Gazelle
• Blue Bull or Nilgai

Ranthambore also has abundant reptile species as well, like:

• Desert Monitor Lizards
• Banded Kraits
• Indian Pythons
• Indian Flap Shelled Turtle
• Russell’s Viper
• Snub Nosed Marsh Crocodiles

The bird enthusiasts can indulge in a wholesome bird watching experience due to the variety of birds that are found here. Some of them include:

• Woodpeckers
• Greylag Goose
• Asian Palm Swift

Ranthambore Safari Timings

Safari timings in the Ranthambore tiger reserve vary by season, so it’s best to confirm them before your visit-

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 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:

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.

Click here to book a safari through Get Your Guide!

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.

RANTHAMBORE FORT

SAWAIMADHOPUR

RANTHAMBORE

The best place to catch the elusive tiger.

Once a private game reserve of the royal House of Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park and Tiger Reserve is one of the world’s best known wilderness areas. Located 14 kilometres from Sawai Madhopur and at the junction of some of the geologically oldest mountain ranges - the Aravallis and Vindyas - Ranthambore offers some of the finest opportunities for sighting the magnificent tiger in the wild. A mix of rolling hills and crags, and meadows, lakes and rivulets, this dry-deciduous forest system is home to an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Apart from the tiger, you can also spot sloth bear, leopard, caracal, jackal, fox, hyena and mongoose at Ranthambore. The elusive Indian wolf too, has been spotted here occasionally. The dainty chital, sambhar deer, the blue bull antelope or nilgai, rhesus macaque, langur and an incredible variety of birds amidst a setting of dhok, fig and banyan trees makes a visit to this park a delight – for tourists and naturalists alike. Basking crocodiles, king vulture on a snag, the scream of the serpent eagle, the alarm call of spotted deer are some sights and sounds that make this a safari experience like none other. The landscape is dominated by the 10th century fortress of Ranthambore while the valleys have numerous cenotaphs, ruins and abandoned settlements overcome by nature - testament to battles and romances of an era long gone. Open from October to June, Ranthambore is accessible by rail from Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur and by road from Jaipur and Delhi. Sawai Madhopur has a range of accommodation to suit every budget and travelers can stay back for a few days to soak in the sunshine and calm of the forests. Given the popularity of the Park among tourists from across the world, it is advisable to make reservations in advance. For online reservations, visit http://fmdss.forest.rajasthan.gov.in/

HOW TO REACH HERE

One can take a local bus, taxi or a cab to reach Ranthambore.

A lovely trip to Ranthambore – our first ever sighting of tiger in a jungle, enjoying the feel of the forest, a detailed tour of Ranthambore fort, an enjoyable long drive (sans a few small stretches) to & fro, stay at a beautiful palace hotel with a gem of a person Ajay ji as our host ……. except that the food in general at the hotel was a culinary disaster & the fact that the staff of the hotel were nice warm people who had not been trained to run a place professionally (serious challenge of people management in f&b and house keeping, leading to inconsistent & unpredictable service).

1. The drive to Ranthambore & back – from gurgaon.

We drove from gurgaon to Ranthambore – about 6 hours 30 minutes each side, non stop.

While Onway to Ranthambore, we got stuck in traffic on national highway 48 as the roads ahead were blocked for farmers protest.

We caught a glimpse of the protesting farmers. They had got trolleys attached to the Tractor that added up as a bed & sitting area (almost like a mobile house). The roofs of some of these trolleys were covered with hard tops – rest had temporary waterproof roof covers. We saw many mobile toilets lined up on both sides of that stretch.

So we took a detour thru a village & were back to the highway in another 20 minutes.

Onway back from Ranthambore, we were prepared for this & hence got off the highway at the right time, to drive thru the village. It was great to see that the gentlemen from the village had put up ROAD DIVERSION signages to ensure the narrow village roads become one way. The village drive was very good otherwise. Picturesque in places.

Most of the roads from gurgaon to Ranthambore were in highway format (with a divider). A good stretch of road off NH48 was a single road (no divider). However the quality of the single road was fabulous & the scenery around marvellous. We passed thru few hamlets but did not get stuck in heavy traffic.

NH48 road quality has fallen further from our earlier trip from mumbai in 2019. The surface was rough & bad. There were occasional potholes. Worst was the traffic – trucks were travelling on all lanes at low speed. That meant, to be at 80 kmph (official speed limit), one had to Crisscross the lanes constantly.

2. About the place Ranthambore-

This place was originally called ‘Garh ranat sthambha bhawar’ – garh means fort, Ran means war & sthambha is the rock that acts like a base, bhawar is the lake that acts as a moat.

The history of the place is about a thousand years old.

This place is located in sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan, about 130 km away from Jaipur.

In 1955, this forest was declared a game park. In 1971, hunting was banned in India & protection of wildlife was enacted. In 1980 Ranthambore was declared a tiger reserve & later two adjacent forests were also merged with this to form a large National park

3. About Ranthambore national park –

The forest, located on the foothills of Vindhya & Aravalli mountain ranges, is a dry, deciduous forest. Our memory of the place is vast field with light golden yellow tall grass & narrow trunk trees all around. So its easy to spot animals even if they are at a distance.

There are numerous historical buildings (centuries old structures) throughout the national park that add to its uniqueness.

The presence of large water bodies in the tourist permitted area (20% of the forest is accessible by tourists, like in most national parks of india) helps in spotting of wild animals who come to drink water.

Another unique visual memory is that of a layer of red algae floating on the top surface of the water bodies.

The tourist permitted area (mentioned above) is divided into 10 zones. While booking you have to mention zone 1-6 or 7-10. Then allocation of zone happens I guess by lottery. We had chosen 1-6. Both the safaris we were allocated zone 3. The kaccha roads of the national park have barricades to stop vehicles entering into another zone

Tourists can hire a gypsy (6 seats) or a canter (20 seats approx). Unless one family has 6 members, they share the gypsy with others.

Every slot 140 vehicles are allowed to go into the national park. They cover approx 30-40 sq km area.

Tourists can go for morning or evening safari that is around 2.5 hours each. There is also option to do half day (6 hours) & full day (12 hours) safari. Tourists who take half day or full day safari can access all zones.

The tigers here have grown up seeing human beings & cars stopping by to shoot pictures. So they don’t pay attention to the people in the cars & keep doing what they are enjoying / have to do. This makes it easy for the photographers to take great pics as they get enough time.

Apart from tigers the forest also has caracel, beer, deer, antelope, chinkara, wild boar, monkeys, crocodiles & a whole host of birds (migratory & resident).

The jungle has many Dhok trees – they look dry but they turn green soon after rains

4. Tigers of Ranthambore – stories we heard from forest guides, guards & safari gypsy drivers

At present there are approximately 80 tigers (including cubs) at Ranthambore.

All tigers of the park are given a name starting with T, by the office of the forest department. However, forest guards, guides & local people end up giving interesting names to the tigers.

The most famous of the tigresses was named Macchli (coz she had a fish mark on her forehead). She was the highest photographed tigress in the world as per a survey.

Macchli (generation 1) have birth to 3 cubs, two of which were tigresses – sundari & Krishna (generation 2)

Once when a crocodile attacked the cubs of Macchli, she started a fight with the crocodile, that lasted about an hour. She killed the crocodile but she also got injured & this damaged her eyes. Hunting became difficult for macchli in later years & forest department people helped her get food.

She was also the one to live 21 years (usually life of a tiger is about 15-17 years).

A male tiger named Ustad was also very famous. He was huge (about 250 kg) & fearless & fearsome. Ustad has the largest territory anyone had. Ustad had ended up killing 4 people & hence he was ‘jailed’ – sent to a zoo in Udaipur. There was huge protests against this on social media, public gatherings & there were court cases in jaipur, delhi & Supreme Court against sending ustad to a zoo. The courts said the decision of forest department was final.

Sundari & Krishna (mentioned above) had 3 cubs & 2 cubs respectively.

One of the cubs of Krishna was named Arrowhead (generation 3).

We saw arrowhead in both our morning & evening safaris, at multiple occasions each.

https://yummraj.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/img_2315.mov https://yummraj.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/img_2331.mov https://yummraj.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/img_2320.mov

Arrowhead gave birth to two tigresses Riddhi & Siddhi (generation 4). We saw Siddhi during our afternoon safari – fully fed, walking down the forest. The deer saw her but they remained in their own place. Did not try to run away – coz they knew that the tigress was not hungry (they don’t kill if they are not hungry).

Like I mentioned in my earlier posts on tigers of Panna, Corbett & Sundarbans, all animals in the forest conspire against the tiger. The moment anyone spots the tiger, they raise an alarm call. That sound gives time to the potential prey to run away.

Tigers are unable to catch deer by direct chase coz the lightweight vegetarian highly active deer easily outrun the meat eating, less active tigers. So tigers always have to use their brains to hide, plan & attack the unsuspecting prey from behind.

At Corbett & pashangarh our safari had been booked by the hotels we stayed at. In Sundarbans , our travel consultant vana safaris had booked the safari.

So we were expecting the same when we called the hotel. However they said we have to book the safari online ourselves.

So we googled to understand the Booking process. We came across a site that allowed us to do one slot booking at a time. We again logged in later to book a different slot for the same day.

What we realized later was that Agent sites come up before the government site comes up on google search. We also realized that there are many agent sites with similar sounding names & that we had booked the two safaris thru different agents inadvertently.

While booking we Did not understand that the gypsy car was not exclusive to us, like it was in Corbett & panna.

The concept of Half day / full day booking was not clearly mentioned in the site / did not show up as options.

Morning safari-

Agent 1 (Ranthambore jungle safari) – this company was seriously unprofessional, non proactive & was responding slow, after multiple pokes.

However we got the best driver among all our safaris so far – Asif (+91 8619882686) He was into it. Passionate, understood what customers are looking for, excellent control of vehicle, perfect positioning of vehicle every time we would wait for tiger, good insights.

We also had got a good guide fawaad ji. He knew things very well but was soft spoken & introvert. He did not tell us anything proactively, but replied to most of our queries.

Evening safari

Agent 2 (GTI travels) – these guys seemed professional at every stage. They confirmed our booking on their own thru email. They were always responding to calls / messages.

They however sent a totally uninterested driver who had no clue, was always tense & angry (as if he got ‘broom beaten’ by his wife before he came to the safari, was absolutely lousy in getting good spots to get a glimpse of the tiger, would suddenly start the car with a jerk even while the tiger is around (our co-passenger was almost falling off the car once), zero passion, stone faced, non responsive – in short, a disaster.

We were however lucky to get a very good guide this time who proactively told us many things.

6. About Ranthambore fort:

This fort is about 7 km long. We walked almost 300 steps (easy ones) to reach to the topmost point. This is second largest fort of rajasthan, after Chittor fort.

The fort is set atop a hill & had natural fortification. On top of that, there were great ideas that had been put up, to make the fort invincible. Yes, it was invincible. No one was ever able to win it by sheer force.

But what History teaches us that nothing or no one is invincible – After two defeats in war (the Khiljis cud not breach the fort), Allauddin Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi bribed the generals of the King of Ranthambore & got what he wanted – the fort.

There were 4 entrance gates to the fort.

We entered thru the Naulakha gate. Two more gates are permanently shut. The 4th one is opened once a year, for a festival.

The commonly used method of breaking fort gates in 1200s was to hit the gate with huge wooden logs / have elephants charge at the gate. The main entrance gate here, was built at 90 degree to the outer entrance gate. So elephant would not get the space to run & charge at the gate. The log system would not work too.

The outer wall was 8 ft wide. So it was impossible in those days to break that.

We learnt that early fortification in this area happened as early as 5th century. The yadavs ruled this fort in later centuries of the millennia. The main fort as we see it today was built around CE 950 by the Chauhan rulers of Delhi.

7. History & folklore of the last ruler

Hameer Dev Chauhan was the last Hindu king who ruled the fort (late 1200s) & before it fell to Allauddin Khilji (Jalaluddin Khilji & later Allauddin Khilji attacked this fort thrice & failed. Then Allauddin won by bribing the king’s generals).

It all started with a principle of Raja Hameer Dev – ‘Sharnarthi ko sharan dena hamara farz hai’ (It is my vow to give refuge to anyone who seeks shelter in the fort). When the jailed senapati of Allauddin Khilji fled, he came here to seek refuge at the fort. Hameer Dev agreed. Allauddin Khilji offered to get his prisoner back or face a war. Hameer Dev did not accept the offer.

Allauddin Khilji attacked.

Hameer Dev was defeated & killed after a long siege, after his generals defected to Allauddin s camp. Centuries later the fort was won back by the Rajput rulers of Jaipur & it remained that way till Indian Independence.

Folklore (written 100 years after his death – hameer Dev raso)

Before going to war, Hameer Dev told his wives – If you see my people coming back with orange flags, please arrange for celebrations. If you see them returning with black flag, all women please do jowhar (mass jumping into fire, to avoid being captured by the victors).

The war took place. King Hameer Dev won. Allauddin Khilji & their troops receded.

The victorious King asked his generals to return to the fort with orange flags. However the bribed soldiers came back with a black flag. The King came to know this much later & started returning.When he reached the fort, th ethird gate was closed by one of the bribed generals. The king somehow managed to get in, thru help from others. When he reached the top of the fort, he realized that all married women had committed jowhar already & the unmarried ones had jumped into the lake.

The King was devastated. He first left the fort to do tapasya (penance) in the forest. Later he Beheaded himself at a Shiva temple & offered his head to the lord.

Folklore has it that lord Shiv, pleased with this act of extreme sacrifice, offered to return him his head & make him alive again (like he did for Ganesha – set up an elephant’s head to the beheaded Ganesha’s body).

Hameer Dev refused this saying what is once given can’t be taken back. Our guide narrated a poetry that talked about this conversation between the beheaded king & lord shiv.

After the king’s death, Allauddin’s people came back & captured the fort.

8. Buildings of the fort that are still intact –

We saw the mazhar of Qazi pir sadruddin – guru of Allauddin Khilji. This building was built in CE 1301.

We saw Rani mahal, across a water body. This used to be post-bath change room for queens. The only access to this was thru small boats. Allauddin later converted it to a mosque.

Badal mahal – a building with a campus for the king’s favourite horse Badal. The horse Badal was kept on the first floor & there was a ramp to take him up (see picture below).

The beautiful 32 khambha chhatri (32 pillared mausoleum) was built by the King Hameer Dev in memory of his father jihattar singh Chauhan, who reigned for 32 years.

The ganesh temple in the fort is very famous. Pilgrims come from across the country to just visit this ganesha temple.

We went to see a kali temple in the fort.

Lakshmi temple was squarish in nature & did not follow the classic north Indian temple architecture (e.g. khajuraho).

A jain temple was later built here as well.

The king’s palace is now shut – the building is not in good state & might cause harm to people if they are allowed in.

9. About The hotel – nahargarh Ranthambore

The Hotel that we stayed in, was a Stunning palace – visually among the best palaces that we have stayed in so far. So we thought. Till, we figured that it was built as a hotel, visually replicating a palace in Rajasthan. Well, stunning job of replication & attention to detail I must say.

The rooms & common area were Perfectly maintained – spotless clean.

The hotel was just a 5 minutes drive away from the forest gates

Everything visual in the hotel was stunning. Outstanding attention to detail.

The facade was imposing

The arches & windows were just too good. The lattice work was a feast to the eyes.

The chequered floor looked so cool.

We were told upon arrival that we had been upgraded. Our room was beautiful

The bar looked absolutely old fashioned & Royal. The horse saddle seats were unique

The dining halls were elaborately designed. The look & feel was stunning.

The pool area was stunning

The hathi talao area was beautiful

The outdoor seating area was cool

Everything else had minimal attention to detail – specially housekeeping & food & beverage.

The hotel employees had individually great behaviour. They were nice simple village people but just not professionally trained. They were lacking a Manager who trains the staff consistently. There was no one who effectively & smoothly put them thru processes to deliver standard results .

We asked what fish was used to make fish tikka. The server did not know. He came back & said ‘do pao wala’ – meaning fish with two legs!!! Is that a joke?

There was no consistency in Refills in the room.

Open tea bags (not packed) of Assam tea were kept in random multiples of the number of guests.

We were given 1 milk pouch for 3 guests.

The number of towels was not matching the number of guests.

The quality of towels was average – like you get in red fox hotel or tier 3 lemon tree hotels.

The room did not have Toothpaste or a dental kit. We had to ask for it.

The Spray jet next to the commode in the washroom was some cheap local one, that threw sharp water jet like a sword!!!!

On the days we stayed at the hotel, there was a marriage booking. There was high decibel Open area music – just unacceptable when one goes to a holiday in a forest. Why should other guests have to go thru such torture when coming to spend a weekend in nature, with a different mindset?

There could have been Underground banquets/

Sound sealed banquets / Endless other ways not to harass other guests who are not a part of a marriage ceremony!!!!

In the car park area there was No parking assistant. Double layer/ 3 layer cars was common – randomly kept wait to get car out of someone has not parked properly

Nice musicians played local rajasthani tunes on our request instead of Bollywood tunes they were playing earlier.

Among all this mess, was an exception- Ajay ji, the Gentleman who welcomed us in front office , was a gems of a person. He was great on his own – not that the hotel seemed to have trained him. He was like an oasis in the desert.

He made us feel at home & was way more warm & nice as compared to many people I know. He behaved as if he is a friend from long time. Too good.

My recommendation to friends – it’s surely worth staying here, but not fir long. The Best option is to check in to different hotel day 1, go to morning safari in day 2, then check in here on day 2, just soak in the palace , leave on day 3. 24 hours is enough to soak in this palace & get its feel at different points in the day & night.

10. Food at the hotel – nahargarh Ranthambore

They have No ‘a la carte’ option for any meal, but only buffet in all the meals. I find this strange. The a la carte menu does not need to be long but it can have 8-10 basics.

The Food was always greasy, sometimes good to taste, sometimes directionless & NCW (non calorie worthy).

Overall it was ‘Average to poor’ food in terms of taste & flavors.

The buffets had the average delhi ‘shaadi ka khana’ menu (no unusual style, no imagination except on one meal when they served rajasthani local food ), with too much oil floating, salt mismatches, Assault on the senses very often,

On the face spices, not even strong in basics (like kaali daal really pathetic sometimes). So much oil in food made me wonder if they have invented to pump up drinking oil from the soil free, like water!!!!

There were few dishes in every meal that was a face saviour & enjoyable.

There was no option of room service food. So if one was to be hungry in a different time than the buffet, there was no choice to drive out & go to a cafe. After midnight if someone is hungry, they have just the option to drink water & be happy.

Other than the buffets, the general f&b management was super lousy too. It was a joke.

Tea incident – day 1 we got to know that tea & cookies will be served from 5 pm. We reached. There was a guy with milk water & tea bags. We asked about the Indian chai (tea leaves cooked with milk). We were told ‘15 minutes’. We asked after 15 minutes. We were told ‘after 15 minutes’. This happens 3 times & we decided to drive out & drink tea. At a roadside stall. No coordination of the guy at the tea counter & the kitchen. He kept going & coming as more & more people asked. Finally he fled & hid somewhere!!! Unthinkable.

Day 1 lunch

Egg curry tasted very good. It had a thick gravy with a slight tinge of sour. enjoyable. Rate it 4/5

Daal was excellent. The texture was perfect. We could feel every grain of pulse. The daal & spices blended beautifully to give a great flavor. Rate it 4.5/5

The paneer curry was interesting. The Gravy was just ok but the paneer was excellent. Rate the gravy 3/5 & the paneer 4.75/5. Overall rating of this dish averages out to 3.9/5

The Chana had excellent texture & taste. Rate it 4.5/5

Matar cauliflower was ok ish. The matar (green peas) were old & the cauliflower was over cooked. Rate it 2/5

Gajar ka halwa was bland & pathetic. The cooking had been suboptimal. Maybe water was also added to milk or carrot had been boiled & added to milk. Whatever was the horrific innovation, it was inedible. The dessert had no ‘paak/ binding’. It seems to have been made by shortcut method. Rate the dish 1/5

Dinner day 1

‘Long live the dead goat’ I spelt out, after eating the outstanding meat ‘roganjosh’. Yes, it was named laal maas but it was not like the traditional laal maas. It was simply a great North Indian meat curry.

The flavors & texture was great & so was the taste. It was an excellent gravy but it was surely not laal maa. if I ignore that, they did a stupendous job. Rate it 4.75/5

Kaali Daal was horrible – a tasteless, thick liquid with no texture & too much cream. I seriously thought the chef was on leave & the housekeeping charge was managing the kitchen.

Every tom, dick & Harry in delhi makes kaali daal better than this. Rate it 1/5

Navratan korma was too sweet & there was almost no salt!!! even good desserts have salt. It was very good to taste after adding salt. Rate it 3.5/5

Pakora very good. It was crunchy outside & soft in the middle. It had great taste. Rate it 4/5

Kadhai paneer lacked the punch in terms of balance of taste. the ‘full dhania (coriander)’ which is characteristic major flavor of this dish was meek. the onions & capsicum are supposed to be crunchy in this dish but here they were softened out. The dish was at best average!!!! rate it 2/5

Dum aloo had a very good gravy & very good aloo. It was well cooked. rate it 4/5

Chana pulao was really nice. It had the perfect texture – hard enough to have a bite but soft enough to enjoy – soft, independent, long grains of rice. Rate it 4.25/5

Moong dal halwa was pathetic – while it wud be outrageous to even compare with the likes of chaina ram, I don’t remember a place where I have had such rubbish. If the one at chaina ram is a top end BMW, this one was struggling for being a jugaad (google it in case u have not seen this yet). 1/5

Apple pudding was like a bad sponge cake with too much baking soda & some strange butter not whipped properly. Rate it 1/5

Breakfast day 2

We had Good paratha 4/5, average omelet 2/5, average vada 2/5, bad idly 1/5 & average sambhar 2/5.

I am not explaining these in detail as these are basic offerings by any kitchen & suboptimal food shows the sad state of affairs in the kitchen

We enjoyed a Lovely chai for breakfast . It was served with fanfare from a traditional utensil in disposable earthen cups (kulhad). The tea was strong enough to be enjoyable, had milk flavor of tea, spices, ginger. Rate it 4/5.

Lunch day 2

This menu was Better than dinner day 1. It had Local rajasthani dishes. I would say Good thought but Average execution.

Daal was excellent – texture of daal could be felt very well, flavors of daal were enjoyable & flavours of spices did not overpower that of the daal, balance of taste was perfect. Rate it 4.75/5

Baati was good but not the best we have had. Rate it 3/5

Choorma was good too & we have surely had better. Rate it 3/5

Navratan pulao was excellent – long , independent, aromatic grains of rice & real fruits (grapes) & dry fruit in it. Loved the balance of sweet & salt. Rate it 4.5/5

Outstanding badam pakora. We had never had anything like this before. Great texture. Full blown flavors of badaam & crisp outer layer. Rate it 4.5/5

Paneer curry was oily & ok to taste. Rate it 2/5 . The paneer itself was very good. Rate it 4.5/5

Aloo pyaz curry was also just ok. It had no particular spice flavor & just too much oil. The curry was pretty bland & directionless. Rate it 2/5.

The Gatta curry had a watery gravy with no particular taste / flavour. The Gattas were made with I guess excess baking soda that led to the gattas becoming like pakodas in water!!! They lost their texture. It really takes a lot of caliber to cook something so bad. I am curious to know who was in the kitchen that day – the security guard / the cobbler / the driver . Rate this dish 1/5

Papad curry was ok too. It was mild in terms of flavors, a bit watery. The papads were probably good but they had been cooked in too much eater for too long I guess. I have had fantastic papad curries in Gujarat & rajasthan – this one was a fraction of what those were. Rate it 2/5.

Ker sangri (a rajasthani vegetable) curry was the worst jee sangri i have had in my whole life & perhaps earlier life put together too!!! The balance of taste was a mess. Rate it 1/5.

Fish curry was very interesting. Large chunks of Gish had been batter fried & a thick gravy had been made. Loved both the fish & the gravy. Rate it 4.25/5

Evening snack day 2

Paneer tikka had a really good paneer, it was mildly spiced, sub optimally charred & in general good to taste. Rate it 3.5/5

Dinner day 2

We did not have the courage to try everything on the menu.

By now we had understood that they are good with yellow daal & mutton. So we stuck to that.

The daal was excellent. Flavors of spices & daal complimented each other. The texture was excellent. Rate it 4.5/5

Mutton curry was excellent too. Great quality of meat, perfectly cooked. The gravy was just right. Rate it 4.5/5

Breakfast day 3

Poha was good to taste & had the right texture. Rate it 3/5

Poori Subzi – the subzi had a lack of balance in taste (salt, sweet, sour etc). Rate it 2/5

Overall rating of food averages out to 3/5 with extreme oscillation from 1 to 4.75 – highly inconsistent & unpredictable.

This was collectively the largest culinary disaster in my memory, with the exception of the yellow daals & mutton

5 thoughts on “ a trip to ranthambore & stay at nahargarh ranthambore (rajasthan) ”.

Description is so vivid and presentation is so lively that any reader can visualize the things/ incidents as if they themselves have experienced them. Very lively narrated.

Thanks for your kind comments, sir:)

Your review of Nahargarh us uncannily accurate. We were there in the first half of March 2021. I haven’t stayed in a noiser hotel. The marriage functions were on in full swing. We heard loud badly remixed hindi film songs at full volume on a bad sound system for the best part of one and a half days.

The food was a culinary disaster as so vividly described by you. The less said about it, the better. This could be an object lesson for catering students to learn what they should not do.

A additional point that I would like to make is that they offered as what they considered to be the best room in the hotel. Unfortunately, it faced the entrance. There was so much light coming into the room at night. They need.to make arrangements, so that light does not disturb the guests in the night.

Enjoyed reading about the forest and the fort.

Thanks so much for reading & taking the time out to share your experience. I will keep sharing good & bad travel experiences regularly here:)….

Ranthambore National Park Open Timing

Generally, the opening and closing time of the park is in sync with the sunrise and sunset. The park opens around half an hour after the sunrise and closes around half an hour before the sunset. As the sunrise and sunset timing changes with the change of the season, the entry and exit timing of the Ranthambore National Park changes accordingly. Below are the approved timings of safari all around the year-

There is a heavy rush on weekends and holidays so it is always advisable to book safari and hotels in advance. The morning safari usually starts half an hour after the sunrise and the afternoon safari concluded half an hour before the sunset. Thus, the timing changes accordingly with the changing of seasons. Each safari is allowed for a maximum of three and half hour of time.

Wildlife Destinations

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.
