Know Before You Go
Carry the original ID
Bring the same document used for the booking: Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence or passport (passport for foreign nationals). Names are checked against the permit at the gate.
Which IDs workNo mobile phones on safari
Under Supreme Court guidelines now enforced in Ranthambore, visitors cannot use mobile phones on safari. Bring a camera for photos. We confirm the current gate rule with your permit.
Be at the gate on time
Morning safaris start between 6 and 7 AM depending on the month. We send your exact reporting time and pickup plan with the permit.
Dress for an open vehicle
Warm layers, a cap and gloves for winter dawns; sun protection and water from March. Muted colours such as khaki, olive or grey.
Tigers are never guaranteed
Ranthambore has one of the best sighting records in India, but it is a wild forest. Two or more safaris improve your odds, and we tell you honestly which zones have been active.
Carry some cash
ATMs and shops are in Sawai Madhopur town, 10 to 14 km from the park, and mobile signal is patchy near some lodges. Tips for the driver and guide are customary.
Frequently asked questions
How far is Ranthambore from Delhi?
Ranthambore is approximately 381 km from Delhi, which is about 6 hours by road. Trains from Delhi to Sawai Madhopur are a comfortable alternative and many travellers prefer them over the drive.
Is it better to travel by road or train from Delhi?
Train is usually more restful and predictable, and Sawai Madhopur is a well-connected stop. Road gives you flexibility on departure time and lets you stop along the way. We can arrange either.
Can this be done as a 2-day trip from Delhi?
It is possible but rushed, because the round trip alone is around 12 hours of travel. Two nights lets you take both a morning and an evening safari, which meaningfully improves your chances of a sighting.
