Recommendations
  • Popular Destinations visited in a Rajasthan Circuit"180 kms form Jaipur and 300 kms from Agra, Ranthambhore adds a wildlife element to an otherwise heritage, lakes and pilgrim centric Rajasthan itinerary. Ranthambhore is a renowned Tiger sanctuary. Overall experience is inferior as compared to other parks in central India but still offers a welcome contrast at end of any Rajasthan trip. Recommended Stay - 2 nights"
  • Popular Ex-Delhi Wildlife and Bird watching Getaways"Ranthambhore is a renowned Tiger Sanctuary at about 400 kms from New Delhi. Bird watching happens here at lakes around Ranthambhore. Ranthambhore offers stylish getaway resorts and hotels and is hugely popular as a Train getaway, standalone driving getaway and as a wildlife / bird watching getaway."
  • Wildlife and Bird watching Destinations in Rajasthan"Ranthambhore (12 kms from Sawai Madhopur) is renowned for its Tiger Population and therefore a prime wildlife destination (even if overall experience is not on par with Parks of Central India). Lakes and countryside around Ranthambhore (such as Surval Lake) are prime bird watching sites in Winter. "
