Tatkaal Jeep Safari in Ranthambore

The Tatkaal Jeep Safari exists for travellers who did not book a Ranthambore safari months in advance. Regular safari permits are usually booked long before the visit date, and the tatkal route lets you secure an entry permit for Ranthambore National Park much closer to your travel dates, which makes it suited to spontaneous plans and late itineraries.

The safari itself runs in an open jeep, with the booked option listing a duration of around three and a half hours. As the jeep moves through the park, the scenery shifts between forests, lakes, rocky mountains and meadows, and a guide is on hand to tell you about the tiger reserve and the national park as you go.

Ranthambore is India's most renowned tiger reserve, and the park is home to Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, spotted deer, sambar deer, wild boars, nilgai and crocodiles, along with a large population of birds from different species. Sightings are never guaranteed, but the open jeep keeps your views clear and gives you chances of spotting the animals in their natural habitat.

The booking covers the jeep, the park entry permit and rotational guide charges. Pickup and drop between your resort and the safari gate is included when the resort is within 10 km of the gate, and inclusions vary by option, so check the option-wise details before booking. Rayna's team arranges the permit and booking end to end and stays reachable through the details on your booking voucher.
