About this trip
Ranthambore has the best tiger sighting record in North India, helped by relatively open terrain that makes spotting easier than in denser parks.

The fort inside the reserve is the part people forget. It is a thousand years old, free to enter and gives a view across the whole park, and almost nobody on a safari-only itinerary bothers with it.
How to reach: Direct train to Sawai Madhopur from Delhi and Jaipur, or a three hour drive from Jaipur. Safari permits need booking ahead and we handle that.
