How to plan for Ranthambore?

In this article, I will let you know How to plan for Ranthambhore. You should pre plan things in advance. As all of us know that there are limited numbers of vehicles allowed in any National Park. This is done to minimize pressure on animals. Otherwise they will get disturb & leave that place. In this article, I will let you know How to plan for Ranthambhore.

If you want to enjoy Ranthambhore then two nights stay is recommended. In two nights stay, you will get three or four safari to the park . This make strong chances for good Tiger sightings. In summer, a chance for sightings increases by 20%.

In Ranthambhore, If you don’t plan things 03 months in advance then, your safaris will be more expensive. Now a days there are two type of safari as per costing is concerned. The one is Normal /General Pricing & the other is Premium safari.

Normal/General Pricing Safari:

There are two safaris in a day. One is morning & other is evening. The morning safari starts between 06 to 07 Am & lasts for 03:30 hrs. The evening, safari start in the afternoon & ends at evening around sunset. The duration of both safaris is same. The safari timing keeps on changing as per sunrise & sunset.

There are only 15 jeeps ( 06 seated open jeep) in 01 to 05 zones. Each zone has 03 jeeps which are booked 90 days prior to date of visit. Similarly, there are 15 Canters ( 20 seated open bus).Once the booking is open then, safari tickets becomes subject to availability in these prime zones. In zone 02, 07, 08 and 10 canters are not used for safari due to tough terrain of the hills. Here only jeeps are allowed for safari.

Once the advance quota is full then only Premium safaris are possible for jeeps in 01 to 05 zones which is very expensive. However, Canter safari is possible.

For general traveler, zones are more important than type of vehicle. Suppose if jeeps are not available in any date then Canter in good zone, will be good option.

Few safaris by canter in prime zones & few safaris by jeeps in 06 to 10 zones will be good option for safaris if you are unable to get jeeps in advance quota.
