💡 Booking Tips for Ranthambore National Park

  1. Book safari permits through the official Rajasthan tourism website — zones 1–5 are inside the core zone with the best tiger sightings.
  2. Morning safaris (6:00–10:00 AM) are best for tiger activity; choose jeep over canter for a better experience.
  3. Ranthambore is only 3.5 hours from Jaipur — combine your tiger safari with a Rajasthan cultural tour.
  4. Peak season (March–June) is hot (40°C+) but best for tigers as they visit waterholes; carry lots of water.
