Thrilling Jungle Safari

Optional Ranthambore Fort Visit

What You'll See at Ranthambore National Park
Bengal Tiger Safari
Ranthambore is home to one of the largest populations of Bengal tigers in India, making it the country's most celebrated tiger reserve. The park's open terrain — a mix of dry deciduous forest, lakes, and rocky ridges — makes tiger sightings far more frequent here than in most other reserves. Your expert naturalist guide will navigate the best safari zones (Zones 1–10) to maximize your chances of a thrilling tiger encounter in the wild.
Rich Wildlife Diversity
Beyond tigers, Ranthambore National Park is a treasure trove of wildlife. On any given safari you may encounter leopards, sloth bears, Indian wild boar, striped hyena, golden jackals, spotted deer (chital), sambar deer, and large marsh mugger crocodiles basking along the lake shores. The park is also a paradise for bird enthusiasts, with over 300 bird species including painted storks, kingfishers, eagle owls, and crested serpent eagles.
Ranthambore Fort
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Rajasthan Hill Forts group, the magnificent Ranthambore Fort sits atop a 700-foot rocky outcrop entirely within the national park boundary. Built in the 10th century and later used by the great Rajput king Hammir Singh, the fort offers spectacular panoramic views of the park and its lakes. Ancient temples to Ganesh and Shiva stand within the fort complex, still actively visited by pilgrims — a uniquely atmospheric blend of history and wilderness.
Padam Talao & Lakes
The park's three iconic lakes — Padam Talao, Malik Talao, and Gyar Talao — are the lifeblood of Ranthambore's ecosystem and the best spots to observe wildlife congregating at water. Padam Talao is the largest and most scenic, often carpeted with lotus flowers and surrounded by ancient ruins, and is a frequent haunt of tigers and crocodiles — making it one of the most photographed wildlife locations in all of India.

What Our Guests Say
"Ranthambore Safari is one of the best things to do and explore different kinds of wildlife species. It has abundance of luxuriant vegetation with the picturesque landscape. Best place for wildlife photography. We booked our Ranthambore trip through Jaipur Taxi & Tours and they arranged everything for us. Thanks."
"We planned our 2 days trip to Ranthambore park from Delhi. Travel arrangements very well organized by the Jaipur Taxi and Tour staff, we had the best hospitality in the wildlife resort. We enjoyed morning and afternoon safari, we had seen tiger — but that was far from the jeep. Need to book the trip prior to arriving Ranthambore."
"This was my first wildlife tour to India, begun from Jaipur. I hoped to see some tigers in wild surroundings and it kept my expectations — giving me the first glimpse of a tiger in the wild. Although it is not like safaris in Africa and is managed with great many restrictions, it is a lifetime experience for sure. A must visit if you are in India."
