A book of epics
Ranthambore is not just a National Park but also a place of historical and cultural importance. It is home to the imposing Ranthambore Fort, which dates back to the 10th century and offers a glimpse into the region’s rich history.
The Park is skirted by the Banas River in the north and the Chambal River in the south. It’s a semi-arid habitat with thorn and scrub, open grassy plains, and dry deciduous forests. Apart from the short monsoon season, the forests remain dry for most of the year.

Highlights
What you can look forward to
Diverse wildlife.
While it’s primarily known as the home of Royal Bengal tigers, the Park also has a rich population of leopards, sloth bears, several deer species, marsh crocodiles, palm civets, jackals, and desert fox, to name a few.
The fort.
The Ranthambore fort is a prominent historical feature within the national park. The fort has immense visual significance that adds to cultural and architectural appeal of the landscape.
Scenic views.
Ranthambore boasts the famous lakes of Padam Talao, Malik Talao, and Raj Bagh Talao. Vantage points in the lesser visited tourist area provide breathtaking views of the valleys, lakes and the walls of the mighty 10th century fort.
Photographic appeal.
Ranthambore is a favoured destination for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts, especially because the tigers are used to vehicles. It offers a great opportunity for up close encounters.
Overview
Ranthambore National Park is located just outside the city of Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, at the junction of the Aravali and Vindhya Mountain Ranges. It’s easily considered one the best Parks in India for wildlife sightings, aided by the fact that many of the game animals are used to the safari vehicles and don’t scare as easily as in some of the other Parks.
Best time to go
December to mid-March – Dry, cool season
This is the best time to visit the Ranthambore National Park because the days are pleasant, and the nights are cold. Dawn temperatures are known to be the coolest of the day, which means that early morning drives can be chilly until the first hour of sunlight. December and January are the coldest months of the year. March is the flowering season with the Butea Monosperma (Flame of the Forest) trees in full bloom.
There are many ancient stone ruins to be spotted from a distance. Charmingly, many of them are overtaken by jungle foliage and the crumbling arches and steps often serve as ideal hideouts for Royal Bengal tigers.
Where you will stay
Aman-I-Khas is set on the foothills of the mighty Aravali Mountain Range within the Ranthambore National Park, offering a prime location and spectacular views.
Ten Mughal-inspired canvas tents overlook a ruggedly beautiful landscape, each offering privacy, luxury and their own sundeck. Travellers enjoy elegantly furnished bedroom, dining and living areas (complete with a separate daybed) flowing into a spacious bathroom with free-standing bathtub and shower.
