Safari in Ranthambore will be an unforgettable experience. So, what are you waiting for? Get a seat on the safari with these helpful tips.
The first thing you should know is that the safari is fully controlled and managed by the forest department of the Ranthambore National Park, which functions under the forest ministry of the Rajasthan state Government. | |
The safaris are conducted on two shifts: morning and afternoon. | |
A maximum of 17 Jeeps that accommodate six passengers and 20 Canters that accommodate 20 passengers each are provided on every shift. | |
Book the safari online. Visit the official counter at Ranthambore at least an hour before the safari starts on the same day, but only if it is available. Same-day bookings are strictly subject to availability. | |
The safaris run from October to June 30. The park's core area is closed from July to September as the place experiences monsoon rains. However, you can explore the buffer area of the park. | |
All the safari seats are usually booked well in advance, and everyone should book their tickets. You can book tickets to any safari 365 days in advance. | |
When booking through this online portal, it asks you to fill in each visitor's full name and photo ID number. Then, the same ID is carried to park offices at entry. If the names or the IDs are correct or complete, the forest department might cancel the booking. | |
The photo ID proofs we accept for Indian citizens are a passport, driving license, PAN card, voter's ID, Aadhar card, school ID, and any government-issued ID. For International Citizens, only passports are needed. | |
In making the online booking, you should give their date, time of visit (morning/afternoon), whether they would use a Jeep or Canter, and the name of the place where they will be staying in Ranthambore. | |
You have to pay the full fee in advance because there is an entrance fee, a vehicle fee, and a guide fee, and this permit is non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-exchangeable. | |
Only vehicles registered with the forest department are allowed inside; you can't bring your private vehicle. | |
They will arbitrarily assign your safari vehicle, guide, and tourism zone. | |
By default, you cannot change from the tourism zone where you're assigned, but they change it for a special request and a fee of ₹1000, if available. It is up to the park officials. |
