Ranthambore National Park

Tigers, lakes and a thousand-year-old fort in the heart of Rajasthan.

Rajasthan's tiger country

Ranthambore National Park

Set in Sawai Madhopur district where the Aravalli and Vindhya hills meet, Ranthambore is one of India's best places to see wild Bengal tigers in daylight.

Ruined palaces, stepwells, chhatris and a hill fort stand beside lakes and dry deciduous forest. Tigers often rest in these ruins and drink at the lakes, which makes Ranthambore a favourite for photographers.

The park is generally open for safaris from October to June and closed during the monsoon. Safari timings change with the season and are fixed by the Forest Department.
