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.

How is the weather in Ranthambore?

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.

Temperature-wise, the months between (October, November, February, and March) are the most comfortable months to visit Ranthambore. The temperature reaches early 30s (90°F) during the day and descends to around 20 (68°F) at night.

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.

For wildlife enthusiasts seeking an immersive experience in the natural habitat of majestic predators, Ranthambore National Park beckons. Revered as the Best Tiger Friendly Land, it stands as the largest and most renowned national park in northern India. Once the favored hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur, it has transformed into the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Area, an iconic tourist destination offering encounters with friendly tigers.

Situated 170 km away from Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park provides a tranquil escape from bustling cities. As the only remaining large intact dry deciduous forest in India, it boasts a structure reminiscent of a bygone era. Surrounded by numerous water bodies, it offers respite to forest inhabitants during scorching weather, creating an environment with an incredible blend of nature's wonders.

The park's climate and vegetation are distinctive, with around 320 bird species, including both residents and migrants. Additionally, there are 40 mammal species and over 35 reptile species, attracting a diverse array of wildlife enthusiasts. Apart from tigers, the park hosts wild cats such as leopards, caracal, jungle cats, rusty-spotted cats, and occasional reports of fishing cats and leopard cats.

RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK

Ranthambore National Park stands as a renowned and distinguished tiger habitat, distinguished as the world's largest national park boasting a diverse array of species, flora, and fauna. The park derives its name from the central Ranthambore fort, a historic monument that has witnessed significant changes and events throughout the park's history.

In the pre-independence era, the Indian subcontinent was covered with extensive forests. However, with escalating population and industrialization, rampant exploitation led to the depletion of these forests, consequently affecting the nation's wildlife. Recognizing this environmental concern, stringent rules and policies were implemented for the protection of Ranthambore National Park, which was initially under the ownership of the Maharajas of Jaipur.

Before 1955, the park served as an exclusive hunting ground for Jaipur's royal family. In 1955, it was designated as the "Sawai Madhopur Sanctuary." Concerns about the dwindling tiger population prompted the declaration of the sanctuary as part of the Project Tiger initiative in 1973, leading to the formulation of stricter policies. A significant milestone occurred in 1980 when 282.03 sq. km of the sanctuary was designated as a national park, resulting in reduced government collection of forest produce. Subsequent developments included the establishment of the Kela Devi Sanctuary on the north side in 1983 and the declaration of the Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary in 1984, covering an additional 130 sq km. These initiatives marked essential steps in the ongoing efforts to safeguard and preserve Ranthambore National Park's biodiversity.

Safari Vehicles -

For the safari tour in any zone of the Ranthambhore tiger reserve, two types of vehicles are allowed to enter into the Jungle. One is an open Jeep with having 6 seats and the other is an open bus called canter with having 20 seats. There is a limit to the number of vehicles enters the park in one shift. The total of 40 vehicles is allowed in one shift, in which 17 jeeps and 20 canters are for tourists and 3 jeeps are for VIP guests. Only the vehicles which are registered with the forest department for the safari tour are allowed to enter. Safari vehicles which are not registered with the forest department or the private vehicles are not allowed inside the forest in any circumstances. The seats in the permitted safari vehicles are booked in advance and it is advised to book your seat prior to visiting the Ranthambore, as it is very hard to get the booking on the spot especially get the seat in Jeep safari is almost impossible on the spot. If you are touring in a group of more than 6 adults then it is best to book your seats in canter safari. Exploring the magnificent surroundings of the Ranthambore tiger zone all together will be a memorable experience. If you are single or a group up to 6 adults, then Jeep safari will be really the best option for you. Jeep safari is the most popular way to explore the Jungle and nothing could beat this experience. However, if you couldn't get the seats in a Jeep safari then booking the seats in a Canter safari is also not a bad option. Both the vehicles use the same route in any zone, so the chances of sighting a tiger are same in both the vehicles.

Things to do in Ranthambore

Jungle safari in ranthambore national park.

Ranthambore is one of the biggest national parks in India and used to be the hunting grounds of the former Maharajas of the area. Today it is a major wildlife attraction spot. There are a wide variety of flora and fauna in the park. It is known as Land of Tigers.

Jungle Safari is what Ranthambore is majorly famous for. We opted for morning canter Safari and the canter reached our hotel around 6:00 am. We went inside Zone 3. This zone is beautiful and the landscape is picturesque. We spotted a tiger, deer, a crocodile, plenty of birds and other animals inside the park. After doing this Safari we can say, Ranthambore is definitely one of the most beautiful Jungles we have ever seen.

Ranthambore Fort

The fort in Ranthambore is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This fort is unique by the fact that it is situated inside the Jungle. Not just its architecture, but also the view from here is incredible and enticing.

Also, the Fort is famous among locals for its Ganesh Temple. The scene of lakes and forests from the temple area make it worth the visit.

The entry in the fort is free for all, and opens from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Visitors should try to catch the sunset from here. The best time to visit the Fort is from April to October.

Taxi charges around INR 800 – 1200 for a round trip from the place of your stay.

Meru Darwaja

Meru Darwaja is a place where locals worship and on the suggestion of the owner of café Chai Chaska, we visited this place. The temple here is built on a hill, from where you can see the view of entire city. As the kings used to visit the temple, it has a historical significance.

The stairs from the left side of the temple leads to a point further high in the hills. We sat there for hours just looking at the vast expanse of surrounding hills and the city from there.

Chambal Crocodile Safari/ National Chambal Gharial Wildlife Sanctuary

Chambal is around 45 kms from Ranthambore. Famous for its crocodile safari in Chambal River and birds watching, it is an offbeat destination.

We went for Chambal Safari in the morning. The scene of kingfishers catching fishes from the water, crocodiles taking sunbaths and baby alligators playing around with each other felt surreal.

The best opportunities for sighting and photography of wildlife in Chambal can be taken by hiring a boat with a driver and a guide, available at several points along the river. You can travel with your family or friends to enjoy the crocodile safari at palighat in the National Chambal Sanctuary.

Palighat at Chambal River is best place for birds-watching as this place has more than 300 species of migratory and resident birds.

Taxi charge in between INR 2000 – 3000 for a round trip to Chambal from Ranthambore.

Usually the charges of a boat are INR 2100 for an hour or two. If there are other persons as well in the boat, this amount can be shared.

Food options in Ranthambore

During our trip to Ranthambore, we explored some really nice and cool places to eat.

Dosa Centre

We had such an amazing crisp Dosa at the Dosa Center in Ranthambore that we ended up going there multiple times. Not just Dosa, there are a variety of snacks and food options available here. We totally recommend this place.

Thikana Cafe is famous for its Pizzas and Sandwiches. We tried their Pizza and it was crisp from outside, soft and cheesy from inside, loaded with loads of veggies – in short bang on.

Chai Chaska

Cafe Chai Chaska is an amazing cafe in Ranthambore. Their sandwiches, cold coffee and Tandoori Chai are what we found the best. Most importantly, we recommend visiting the café after it gets dark as it is then they setup their open food stall and the place turns into something you definitely want to try.

Tiger Trail Restaurant

The restaurant of Vanya Mahal Resort serves amazing food. Their north Indian delicacies are a must try.

Kanha Restaurant

Kanha Restaurant serves nice North Indian food. It is one of those places where you can have nice food in resonable rates.
