Know before you go

A jeep safari is an exciting option here to get close to Ranthambore wildlife, with high chances of spotting the big cat as well as photographing it. Excursions around the park also give valuable insights into the culture and tradition of the local people, especially the Meena tribes. One can also look for medieval splendour in the form of forts, havelis (mansions), and palaces scattered throughout the region.
The Ranthambore region experiences extreme climatic conditions. Summers from April to June are particularly harsh, with temperatures going well over 40 degrees Celsius. The area receives rainfall in July and August. Winter begins in October and lasts until March, bringing cooler temperatures and encouraging tourists to visit Ranthambore. The park is open between October and May, but the best months to visit are October to February.
