Ranthambore, in first instance seems to be safari park only for tigers and other wildlife, but if you are planning to take it as relax destination, there is lot you can do beside park safaris.

Safaris:

Ranthambore, the land of tigers is most famous place to see tigers in its natural habitat. The park spreads across 1300 sq kms area covering three districts i.e Karauli, Sawai madhopur & Kota. There are 10 zones for safari purpose. There is limit of vehicles allowed in one shift to the park. Normally there are two shifts for safaris one in morning & other in the afternoon. Each safari is 03; 30hrs long. Advance planning is must to save money on safaris. Beside normal safaris there are Full day & Half day safaris to cater special needs for keen wild lifers & photographers. These safaris are quite expensive but zone free. You can go to any zone during your safari timing.

Fort visit:

This is another attraction in Ranthambore. In fact the park is named after the fort called Ranthambore Fort. This is the second largest fort in Rajasthan after Chittorgarh. The circumference of the fort is about 07 sq km. it has got steps to climb up. The main palace inside the fort is closed but still the ruins of other structures are strong enough to withdraw your attention. The are many temples inside the fort, out of them the Trinetra Ganesh temple is very famous. It takes total 03: hrs to visit the fort from your hotel. There are steps to climbs (not so hard) but it takes 45 minutes to climb up. For elderly people palkis are available (04 people carry you on chair). The Fort opens from sunrise to sun set. The Ganesh temple closes for half an hour in the middle of the day.

Chambal Boat ride for Alligators:

Mansarovar dam for Bird Watching:
This is another Dam where you can enjoy bird watching. It is about 20 kms from Ranthambore road towards Chambal River. Excursion time is three hours.

Rameshwar Ghat for Bird Watching:
This is the bank of river Chambal . It has got good potential for birding. This is ahead of the place where you start boat ride in Chambal. It is better to do this place with alligators safari. Distance from Ranthambore Road is 60 kms. Total time is 06 hours but delightful activity.

Devpura Village Excursion for Black Buck:
This village is about 15 kms from Ranthambore road. In winters the best place to see black buck in agriculture fields. This takes about 02 to 03 hours.

Old City Tour:
Sawai Madhopur has two parts one the old one which is called the old city & the new part is railway station area. If you want to enjoy street photography then this place is recommended.

Note: Before going to bird watching please check locally. Normally good birding starts from November till March. Sometimes due to bad monsoon/rains in July, August and September these places struggles for water so there potential decreases but land birds are there.
