Ranthambore National Park is one of India’s most treasured destinations for wildlife lovers. This incredible park covers 1,334 square kilometers of natural forests and wide-open grasslands in Rajasthan’s Sawai Madhopur district.
Welcome to India's most famous tiger kingdom. Ranthambore National Park is where wild adventure meets royal history. This amazing place lets you see tigers up close while exploring ancient forts and peaceful lakes.
What makes this place special is that you can actually see tigers during the day. Unlike other parks where tigers hide, Ranthambore's tigers love to come out in daylight, making your safari adventure truly exciting.
The park is home to over 80 Royal Bengal Tigers, plus leopards, sloth bears, wild boars, deer, and more than 300 types of birds. The landscape is breathtaking with rocky hills, thick forests, and beautiful lakes that reflect the sky. Ancient ruins scattered throughout the park tell stories of kings and battles from long ago.
Ranthambore's story begins in the 10th century with the magnificent Ranthambore Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage Site sits proudly inside the park, watching over the wilderness below. This area was the hunting ground for royal families of Jaipur long ago.
The park began its path toward conservation in 1955, when it was first designated as a wildlife sanctuary. In 1973, it joined Project Tiger, India's most important tiger protection program. Finally, in 1980, it officially became a national park. Thanks to these efforts, the tiger population has increased from 66 in 2019 to 81 in 2021.
Your Ranthambore adventure offers many exciting experiences The Park consists of 10 distinct safari zones, each presenting its own atmosphere and diverse wildlife encounters. If you’re expecting to watch tigers, zones 3, 4, and 5 are exclusively regarded as the most promising areas for tiger sighting. You can choose between jeep safaris for small groups or canter safaris for larger families.
Morning safaris start early when animals are most active, while evening safaris let you enjoy the golden sunset over the wilderness. A safari lasts roughly 3.5 hours, giving you a great chance to spot tigers, snap photos of birds, and take in the beauty of the wild.
The park stays open from October to June, closing during the monsoon season for animal safety. Plan your visit between October and March for comfortable weather and the best chances to see tigers in their natural habitat. During these months, the weather is conducive to safaris and wildlife tends to be more active, making sightings more frequent.
