Safari in Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park stands majestically on the foothills of the Aravalli hills in Rajasthan. Ranthambore national park is most popular for its Royal Bengal Tiger and has been designated as Tiger Reserve. Visitors come in high numbers to Ranthambore national park to experience and enjoy the wilderness and watch the tigers.

Government arranges for Ranthambore safaris for the tourists to go around the Ranthambore national park and cherish the wildlife of Rajasthan. Due to security issues, no private vehicles are allowed into the forests. The wild life safaris are conducted on Jeep and on canters. Gypsy is more personalized where about 3-5 people travel in a vehicle. Canters are large open top bus which accommodates about 20 -22 people. Canter Safari & Jeep Safari happen only twice a day at fixed times. Each Ranthambore safari takes place for about three hours. These safari vehicles pick up the tourists from their hotels and drop them back too.

A guide accompanies the tourists in every vehicle and details about the various species of trees and animals found along the way. The guides are very friendly and are very happy to answer the tourist queries

To ensure the animals are not disturbed by too many vehicle movement and crowd, the park is divided into zones and only a few vehicles are allowed in each zone at any point of time. Each zone has different landscape and it’s amazing to see so many varieties of trees and plants and animals in a single forest. Therefore, every zone is a must see spot.

Safari vehicles are usually limited in number, so the visitors must book their vehicles well in advance. Tourists are recommended to opt for two or more safaris as they can visit only one zone on one safari. As the zones are allocated randomly to the tourists, there may be chances of getting the same zone more than once. Therefore, booking a few safaris would increase the chances of seeing different landscape and spotting the tigers too.

Ranthambore national Park is open throughout the year except in the monsoon season i.e, between 1st of June to 31st of September. During this period, rain lashes the forests and the roads for the safari are inaccessible.
