Expert Speak

Ranthambhore offers a Wildlife experience but regular visitors to other Wildlife areas (such as Bandhavgarh) may not find the experience upto the mark. For availing Jeep Safaris very early planning and reservation is recommended. However Bird watching at Lakes and farms around Ranthambhore (e.g. Surval Lake) is excellent during Winter when migratory birds arrive. Guests with interests in bird watching could focus more on safaris around Ranthambhore than inside the park safaris.
