Tiger Moon Resort Ranthambore
Tiger Moon Resort is one of the older established properties on the Ranthambore Road corridor, a mid-range resort of cottage-style rooms set in a leafy compound at a standard-band tariff. Many people reach this page asking about prices, so we cover what the tariff normally includes as well as how safari pickup works. We do not run the resort; we pair stays there with permits and pickup.
The resort is on the Ranthambore Road corridor between Sawai Madhopur town and the park, the stretch our vehicles use on every safari morning, so pickup is routine. A core-zone slot means a short pre-dawn drive. Outer-zone gates are further around the park and need an earlier start, which we set once the forest department allocates your zone. The station is a reasonable drive in the other direction, so train arrivals and departures are simple to plan.
Accommodation is in cottage-style rooms scattered through a mature compound with trees and lawns, rather than in a single block, which gives the place more character than newer resorts of the same band. The property has been operating for a long time and it shows in both the greenery and the age of some fittings; expect a comfortable, unpretentious stay rather than a polished one. Rooms are air-conditioned. Confirm the current tariff and the room category you are being offered at the time of booking.
The resort sits in the standard band, the middle of the Ranthambore range, and the tariff usually covers the room and breakfast, with meal plans offered as an add-on. Rates rise on winter weekends, Diwali, Christmas and New Year, and fall in the hot months and the monsoon. Safari permits, vehicle and guide are never part of the room rate at any Ranthambore property, so add those separately when comparing prices. Check the current tariff at the time of booking rather than relying on figures quoted online, which are often out of date.
Couples and families who want a garden setting and a cottage rather than a hotel corridor, repeat visitors who know the property, and travellers with a moderate budget who still want some atmosphere. It suits a two-night trip with two safaris. Guests looking for a modern room, a spa or brand-standard consistency will prefer the deluxe resorts on the same road, and those wanting a wilderness feel should look at the Sherpur side.
We collect from the reception at the time sent the evening before, take you to the allocated gate, and the guide handles entry with the ID on the permit. The same jeep or canter returns you after the drive. The resort also arranges safaris through its own desk; tell us if that is already done so a slot is not booked twice. Permits are allocated by the forest department and cannot be issued by the resort or by us.
Meals are buffet-style Indian food in the restaurant, with garden seating in the cooler months and a bonfire on winter nights. Evenings are quiet, as they are along the whole of Ranthambore Road, and a few simple restaurants along the road within a short drive offer a change if you want one. Ask about early breakfast or a packed box before the morning safari and about lunch timing between the two slots.
Fix your dates, let us apply for permits, and confirm the cottage once the forest department issues them. Confirm the current tariff and taxes, which meals are included, whether station transfers are charged, and which room category you are getting. Check the cancellation policy against the risk of permits not being allocated, and match the ID on the permit to the one you will carry. Our tour packages combine permits, pickup and a standard-band stay if you prefer one booking.

It is on the Ranthambore Road corridor, a short drive from the main reporting points. Outer-zone gates are further around the park and need an earlier pickup.
Yes. The cottage layout and garden compound suit families with children, and the standard-band price leaves room in the budget for an extra safari.
It is one of the longer-established resorts on Ranthambore Road. The compound is mature and green as a result; some fittings show their age, so ask about the room category and any recent renovation when you book.
