Make the most of your India trip and start planning!
If one park is synonymous with India’s national animal, it’s Ranthambore. The dazzling, billion-year old forest, with its spindly trees, ancient boulders and roaming hills, is not only prime tiger territory, it’s also the enthralling, jungle-clad India of childhood stories. This is a land not only of tigers, but of lazy sloth bears and mysterious leopards, 10thcentury forts and crumbling pavilions, crocodile-filled lakes and swirling battalions of birds that migrate from Europe and Siberia in the winter. Make no mistake, you’re not going to be the only person here looking for Shere Khan, but when you add up the landscape, the smattering of super-stylish tented camps and the humbling magic of being in the wilderness, a few days in Ranthambore adds up to be one of life’s most thrilling experiences.

Tigers prowl through ancient hunting grounds where Rajput kings once roamed, their domain now protected within this spectacular wilderness. A 10th-century fortress watches over lakes where crocodiles bask and sambar deer drink cautiously. Dawn safaris might reveal a Bengal tiger padding along paths beneath towering banyan trees while paradise flycatchers dart through the canopy above. Beyond the park boundaries, local artists capture wildlife in intricate paintings, and village kitchens serve up fiery laal maas. From tracking pug marks with expert naturalists to watching the sunset paint the fortress walls golden, this royal hunting reserve turned conservation success story offers India's most reliable tiger encounters.
