Know before you book
Wildlife is wild — sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, Ranthambore has one of India’s highest tiger density rates and our naturalists maximise every opportunity with expert zone tracking.
Ranthambore is open October to June. The park closes during monsoon (July–September). Best tiger sightings are from February to May when vegetation is lower and tigers visit water holes frequently.
Wear neutral, muted colours (khaki, olive, grey) on safari — avoid bright colours or white. Modest clothing required at religious sites throughout the itinerary.
October to March is ideal (15–28°C). April–June is hot but excellent for wildlife sightings as animals cluster near water. Carry layers for early morning safaris — jungle temperatures drop sharply before dawn.
Long lenses (200mm+) recommended for wildlife. No flash photography in the reserve. Professional video equipment requires an additional Forest Department permit arranged by us in advance.
All travellers must carry a government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar / Passport) for monument entries and Forest Department safari permits at Ranthambore.
Children under 5 travel free. Ages 5–12 receive 30% discount on tour price. Children under 6 are not permitted on jeep safaris per Forest Department rules — canter safaris available as an alternative.
Carry personal medications and insect repellent for jungle stays. Bottled water provided throughout. First-aid kit with your guide and naturalist at all times. Malaria prophylaxis recommended for jungle nights.
