4 different sightings on each of the 4 safaris speaks for itself. We had a fantastic sighting of a Male Tiger (T-6) 4 feet away from our Gypsy for 15 minutes ! Couldn't get better than this !

Out of 5 safaris we got to meet the majestic beast 4 times. Despite having seen so many of them in various parks of India, I could never get that close to a tiger in wild. here we got to see a tiger from may be 5 feet. Will definitely return. Avoid zone 5,6,7.

Visited in April end 2012. It is situated in Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan. Jaipur is the nearest airport and nearest town and nearest railway station is at Sawai Madhopur, about 11 km away. The roads (highways ) connecting major metros are superb. We had driven from Mumbai to Ranthmbore which is about 1600 kms and took us about... More

What an amazing trip this was. The tiger reserve is surprisingly very well maintained and organized. Most of the guides also are very informative and seem to truly be passionate about their jobs. They are excited to show tigers to the tourists which makes the ride much more fun. My only tip is to book the gypsy vehicle in advance... More

This is one place we would love to visit again. The area is ard and dry. However the beauty will leave you spellbound. We put up at a place called Ranthambhore National Park. I have written a complete review of the park and the resort at the below link. http://akshaykakkar.com/1/post/2012/05/ranthambhore-a-trip-report.html Regards, Akshay.

The vehicles were a bit of a shock to the bones but loved the wildlife, even though the tigers were keeping a low profile!

Its a lovely destination for nature lovers , especially experiencing the live atmosphere in the woods. We were lucky to spot a female tiger for good 20 minutes time in the wild, but that after 3 safaris.
