Frequently Asked Questions
What are the chances of seeing a tiger?▼
Ranthambore has one of the highest tiger sighting rates in India (~60-70%). Morning safaris generally have better chances. However, wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.
Canter vs Gypsy - which is better?▼
Gypsy (6-seater jeep) offers better mobility and photo angles. Canter (20-seater) is more economical but less flexible. We can upgrade to private gypsy on request.
When is Ranthambore open?▼
The park is open October to June. Best time is October-March (comfortable weather). The park closes during monsoon (July-September).
What camera equipment should I bring?▼
A DSLR/mirrorless with 200-400mm telephoto lens is ideal. Entry-level 55-250mm also works. Smartphones struggle for distant wildlife. Dust protection is recommended.

What an incredible experience! The desert camp was amazing - clean Swiss tents with proper beds. Dune bashing was thrilling and the sunset camel ride was magical. The cultural program with Kalbeliya dancers was the highlight. Must-do in Rajasthan!
Perfect for solo travelers! I was nervous about traveling alone in India but this tour made it easy. Met amazing people at hostels. The blue city walking tour and cooking class were highlights. The desert camping with other travelers was unforgettable. Felt safe throughout!
Best tour of our lives! 10 days perfectly covering all of Rajasthan. Each city was unique - from the pink streets of Jaipur to the golden dunes of Jaisalmer. The desert camping night was magical. Udaipur was pure romance. Our guide Raju was exceptional - like traveling with a knowledgeable friend. Worth every penny!
Dream come true! Spotted a tigress with two cubs on our morning safari - absolutely magical moment! Our naturalist knew exactly where to position us. The resort was beautiful with great views. Wildlife photography heaven!
Bucket list experience ticked off! Sleeping under the stars in the desert was surreal. The BBQ dinner was delicious and the folk musicians were so talented. Our camp host made us feel so welcome. Perfect adventure getaway!
Finally a tour that includes Bikaner! It's so underrated. The camel research centre was fascinating - who knew there were so many camel breeds! And Junagarh Fort is stunning. Combined with Jaisalmer magic, this was a perfect off-beat Rajasthan experience.
Best wildlife experience in India. We saw 3 tigers across our 2 safaris! The guides are incredibly knowledgeable. The resort food was delicious and the staff very friendly. Must-do for any wildlife enthusiast!
Great budget option without compromising experiences. Hostels were clean with good vibes. Loved the flexibility - enough structure but also free time to explore alone. The Pushkar rooftop cafes were so chill. Made friends for life on this trip!
Finally did the complete Rajasthan circuit with my family. The heritage hotels were beautiful, each with its own character. Kids loved the camel safari and elephant ride. Food was consistently good throughout. Highly recommended for anyone wanting the full Rajasthan experience!
Excellent tour for those who want to see beyond the typical tourist circuit. Bikaner's havelis and food scene surprised us. Kuldhara ghost village was eerie and interesting. The desert camping at Jaisalmer was the cherry on top!
