Our first tiger safari was very enjoyable but we did not see a tiger. They were spotted by forest ranges near us but with it being just after the wet monsoon period it’s very green and beautiful with lots of long grass for tigers to hide. It also means there’s many places for them to and their prey to drink so they are spread out a lot. We still enjoyed it and our guide and driver are excellent and really trying. We didn’t see a sloth, leopard or jackal either. We saw deer, boars, monkeys many bird type including peacocks and eagles. Hopefully we will see a tiger. I was very grateful that we got to go to Zone 5 in the park as it’s entrave is only 15min from Aman-I-khas luxury tented camp which is the best place to stay in the area. I have had problems with my eye retinas detaching so it’s quite a risk on these bumpy roads. I really hope we get another close zone tomorrow and see a tiger. It will be our only trip to India and it took so long to get to the national park. I will update after tomorrow’s safari.

It's a picturesque national park of about 1800sq km, but it may be vast but feels intimate and beautiful with mountains & lakes. We came to see a tiger and after three visits we were unlucky. But luckily we did see a black bear and lots of birds and dear..Great time dispite the road at times.

I went on a safari each through zones 1, 2 and 3 and was lucky enough to see a tiger on 2 of the safaris. There is a real variety of wildlife and each zone has such different scenery. I loved my time here and can't recommend it enough!

The park is well maintained with professional guides. Got to see some tigers, that was amazing! The park is divided into sections so depending on where you enter you’ll get to see a different part of the park every time.

Not worth, went there end of October, morning and evening safari, didn't see any tigers and neither did any of the people we met at our hotel. There was not much to look at otherwise, we were falling asleep the whole 3 hours on each safari ride. The safari booking is basically only possible though a hotel which will rip you off big time for it. On the ticket is says 1600 INR per person in canter. I think you just need to be extremely lucky. I doubt that the people in jeeps saw anything. If there was a tiger to see they would see it from more close up but that's it. It's 1700 square meters of park, 10 zones, they always take you to just one. Total of 69 tiger. Count your chances. Like you might be right next to it and not see it because there is a bush. Simply overhyped. There's trash too. UPDATE: went to Kaziranga in Assam and saw a tiger 3 times, out of our 3 safari rides (we were lucky but still), the national park is waaay better.

Ranthambore National Park 🐅🌿 is a paradise for wildlife lovers! Each zone offers stunning scenery—lakes, hills, forts, and beautiful forests. Tiger sightings are common in Zones 2, 3, and 4, and many visitors get lucky early in the morning 🌅🐅. Even if you don’t spot a tiger, you’ll still enjoy deer, crocodiles, monkeys, peacocks, and tons of colorful birds 🦌🦚🐊. Safaris are well-organized with trained guides, but a gypsy is always a better choice than a canter for photography and viewing comfort 🚙📸. Water bottles are a must, as safaris can be long and dusty 💧. The atmosphere is thrilling yet peaceful, and the landscapes—especially Zone 3 at sunset—are breathtaking ❤️🌄. Though some days can be crowded or strict with rules, the experience is unforgettable. Overall, Ranthambore is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and adventure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Bookings are done through the official government website or via your hotel.

I recently visited Ranthambore National Park, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! 🌿🐅 The park is a perfect blend of raw wilderness, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere feels magical with its dense forests, serene lakes, and the majestic Ranthambore Fort overlooking the area. We were extremely lucky to witness a tiger couple with a cub from a distance, which was an absolute once-in-a-lifetime moment! Along with that, we spotted crocodiles basking near the lakes, deer, and a wide variety of birds, making the safari even more thrilling. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and shared many interesting insights about the park and its wildlife. What I loved most was how well-maintained and organized the park is, ensuring both the safety of animals and a memorable experience for visitors. If you love wildlife, photography, or simply wish to reconnect with nature, Ranthambore is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went on a safari in Zone 2 of Ranthambore during the monsoon season, and the weather added a dramatic and beautiful atmosphere to the forest. Despite the rain, we were incredibly lucky to spot three tigers, which was an unforgettable experience and made the trip worthwhile. The natural beauty and thrill of the jungle were truly remarkable. However, the experience was dampened by the behavior of our guide and driver. Unfortunately, they were rude and unprofessional, and to our surprise, they asked for extra money at the end of the safari, which left us feeling uncomfortable. It’s disappointing when such a special experience is marred by a lack of courtesy and transparency. Overall, the wildlife and setting were outstanding, but the service and conduct of the staff need serious improvement. I’d recommend the safari for nature and wildlife lovers but advise being cautious and clear about expectations beforehand

Ganesh temple located at the top of a hill inside the world heritage Ranthambore fort There are many steps to the temple along the fort, so though the journey is scenic, it can be challenging for elderly. Also, you can get a guide as there are many of them offering their services. The place is surrounded by beautiful scenery overlooking the Ranthambore tiger reserve and mountains and valleys. The temple is simple and modest. You'll find ample of small shops, cafes and sellers of offerings and garlands as is the norm outside all Indian temples. Beware of the monkeys though as they can be pretty aggressive at times

This is a divine experience. Darshan is so calming and peaceful. It’s a little long walk along the fort to reach here but it’s worth the walk. There are monkeys here so be a bit careful with flowers and food/ Prasad. There is long queue during key days else it isn’t too crowded. Maintained well.

Idea of boat ride is excellent but calling it a river cruise was a not a fit with limited sightings of animals 9 to 10 only , poor quality or non cruise boat, no meal or drinks. 3 stars for the River, Idea of commercializations and nice and humble local boatman cum guide. Around 800 rupees person for the boat ride seems too high for the fun. Though I don’t mind contributing towards the upkeep of the place if there is any existing process besides just a ticketing booth to cash the opportunity. Some suggestions 1. Should bring better quality boats. 2. Green boats, either manual or electric as the tourism will grow the diesel and petrol boats will kill the ecosystem around especially the river water. 3. A play place for kids or adults like water slides etc can justify the long drive of hours to just have a simple boat ride. 4. A local cuisine restaurant celebrating the place.

The experience there is incredible. If one is visiting ranthambhore national park then its a must visit also as it is just 1 hour drive from railway station. Very offbeat place. Nature is at its very best, you will get to see lot of gharials and crocodile there.

Had A Unique Wildlife Experience The National Chambal Gharial Sanctuary offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of gharials, crocodiles, and diverse riverine wildlife. Boat safaris provide excellent opportunities for viewing these incredible reptiles and numerous bird species in their natural habitat. The serene riverine environment and conservation efforts make this a worthwhile and unique experience. Knowledgeable guides enhance the visit. A must for wildlife enthusiasts!

It's new opened safari on the river. Te chambal river as goof population of alligator and crocodile, so easily visible. Best time to visit is winter when water receeds and the reptiles come out of water for sun bathing.

Its upto your luck that you will see the crocodile or alligator however the boat ride make everything better with your loved ones.

Never seen a river like that in India. Absolutely amazing place and clean river. We went there in the afternoon and the cool breeze never let us feel the scorching sun.

Must visit , it’s close to ranthambore safari .keep a watch on time as they will try to give you a shorter boat ride than what you have paid for. Don’t forget to carry your student iCard to get some discount. If you in a group of 7-8 person then you will get your own boat else you will get with others and might have to wait for seats to get full. Visit during day time and you will get to see alligators and crocodiles both.

Well developed, well maintained Everyone must visit once 👍👍 -- enough parking available -- visit with family Bad's: Washrooms were not clean -1 star Please find snaps attached . Regards, Insta: @anewbornyogi Google Reviewer Community: Level 8

Wonderful place, slightly difficult to navigate to. On the way we thought that we are on wrong road but later the building appeared as a standalone monument. The organization is very good and informative. Must visit place with kids who take interest in any kind of exhibits.

It is free of cost knowledgeable introductory museum of Rajasthan and India forest with their tribesand practices natural history livestock , human and animal relationship and many animals statue with ecosystem .... wonderful experience of you want to know

Good museum with a variety of exhibits and v informative . Well maintained . Staff is well trained , friendly .

The information mentioned in the museum was good but i only recommend this museum to the person who is curious to the ancient information about the different species, textiles, rajasthan and the different tribes. Also, there is no fees to visit this museum. No parking charges is there.

Beautiful place to visit. Great job done by GOI. Never thought of finding so much of information abt forests / flora and fauna of India at one place.

Jogi Mahal: Historical Significance: Jogi Mahal was a former royal hunting lodge used by the Maharajas of Jaipur. It's located near the Ranthambore Fort and Ganesh Temple. Architectural Style: Built around the 17th century, Jogi Mahal is a beautiful example of Rajput architecture. Current Status: Jogi Mahal is not currently accessible to the public and is not used for accommodation. You might catch a glimpse of it while on a safari through Ranthambore National Park, particularly in Zones 2 and 3.

Jogi Mahal is another major attraction of Ranthambore. This is a forest department rest house where travelers use to take rest after a long days exploration. The adjoining Padam Talab is another attraction of the place that leaves travellers amazed by its serene beauty. Next to the Jogi Mahal is an ancient banyan tree, the second largest banyan tree in India. Located beside the Padam Talab, Jogi Mahal is a rich collection of the heritage of Jaipur Jogi Mahal in Ranthambore, which was initially built as a hunting lodge by the royal family of the Jaipur which was used by many Maharajas for the same purpose. Although accommodation is not permitted here now, visitors use this place to assuage themselves and get mesmerized by the scenic beauty as well as the architecture of the Heritage in Ranthambore. Second largest Banyan tree of the India, standing next to the Mahal is worth an applause. The beautiful combination of the Padam Lake with the Mahal makes an adamant mark on the visitors memories. People here can make themselves comfortable and regain energy for the next trip.

This place of Zone 3 provides great sighting opportunity for Wildlife lovers. Great Tigress of her time Machali once ruled in this zone and has contributed at least 50 individuals in the gene pool of this reserve. As per 2018-19 her grand daughter Arrowhead rules this zone and can be seen with cubs.

Beautiful historical place with lots off wild animals n lots of mountains A Tigers place 🦁🦁

Food taste is so good,specially tikkar platter.

As tourist you can not visit jogi mahal. It is near the RANTHAMBHORE Fort. From fort you can see. In 1986 formar prime minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi and actor Amitabh bhachan g stayed in jogi Mahal.

A must visit if you are visiting Ranthambore. The artists create life like paintings..met one artist named Rajesh Saini... the place left us speechless

Please note this place can also ship and send u the canvas u desire and takes orders for paintings of animals and accept online payment too, all definitely worth any amount of money... Now for the review of the place... A small space.. but so full of soul. For people coming to connect with nature here.. and with animals... This place provides u portraits that allow u to peer into the lives and souls of these animals... Like a photo but so much more it appears... Probably because of all the work that goes into recreating a photo. But that effort in the viewers mind translates to a emotional bond with those animals. Lovely people too and overall a very wholesome experience from the most unexpected of places.

Sure shot way of tiger sighting in Ranthambore. No guessing for what is Ranthambore all about. Yes – tigers. This time we saw tigers of a different variety. Not in the jungle, but on canvas, dexterously hand painted by the students of the Ranthambore School of Art. Ranthambore School of Art is an art school, exhibition and gallery all in a small single story house. This is off Sawai Madhopur on Ranthambore Road. While we had heard about this place, given the very little publicity they do, locals were not very aware of this place. It was per chance, while driving on the Ranthambore Road, we came across a modest signage which led to this institution of the truest sense. We walked in and saw painters sitting in front of large canvasses with menacing big cats looking back at them. It is a totally different issue that these tigers were brought to existence by these artists who were blessed with photographic precision. One could identify single strands of hair in some of these paintings. Ranthambore School of Art is more than 20 years old. During our visit, we met Mr. Ram Sahay who is one of the founder members of this organisation. He was extremely forthcoming and shared interesting details. As with everything Ranthambore, the artwork here was geared towards wildlife. In fact, the institution was established with the aim to protect tigers. Students come here to learn as well as senior artists sit here and create paintings some of which are on sale. They showed us huge canvasses as well as small painted postcards. Given the life-like paintings, it was difficult to believe that these were results of a wood and hair brush and not any digital medium. In addition to tigers, birds and other wildlife, the artists also paint diverse subjects. We loved the painting of Jesus in all his compassionate glory. Incidentally, there was no effort on part of the art school to make a sale. This made us very comfortable. In addition to painting, the artists from here routinely hold workshops in schools, museum and nearby villages to create awareness about the tiger. While jungle safari is the primary activity, a visit to the Ranthambore School of Art is an offbeat activity in Ranthambore. One doesn’t need to be art aficionado to appreciate the sincere work here. We believe a good piece of work has a universal language, it breaks boundaries. Ranthambore School of Art does just that are we are humbled to have an opportunity of witnessing this first hand.

Beautiful beautiful place and the people present here who are painting and selling their pieces are really reallu kind and proud of their work as they should be😄

Heaven for Art Lovers, specially wild life paintings. Artists here are ground to earth persons. Thier art works are just wow, reality canvassed on paper. Please Don't judge by price.

For art lovers a wonderful place to visit. Artist behaviour is friendly. Even if you visit just to appreciate art..it's wonderful. His art looks as if they are alive. Magnificent work of authentic art.

Fantastic hidden spot for good painting and more importantly genuine people. Mr. Saini is humble talented person.
