The months of October to March have nice weather, with bunches of flowers adorning the landscape. If you're travelling between late December and early January, bring heavy woollen clothing to keep you warm in the cold. The temperature fluctuates between 10 and 27 degrees Celsius.
Summer months, from April through June, provide severe dry heat when the sun's direct beams strike the area. However, if you believe you will be unaffected by the harsh temperatures, which may reach 36 degrees Celsius, then this is the perfect time to visit the preserve because you are more likely to see the gorgeous tigers, as well as a variety of other creatures, during these months. Keep a scarf handy, wear plenty of sunscreen, and stay hydrated at all times.
During the monsoon months of July to September, the Ranthambore National Park is shut. As a result, visiting the area during the rainy season is just a no.
Ranthambore is a wonderful spot to enjoy nature's splendour, and the best way to do so is on foot. Several establishments in the vicinity organise frequent nature hikes through the lush vegetation. You can also visit surrounding villages to get a firsthand look at how the residents live. Within the park is the imposing Ranthambore Fort, which is an excellent place to learn about history.
Cabs are provided for travel around the park, but only Forest Department-licensed vehicles are allowed on safari.
In Ranthambore, four-wheeler jeeps known as Gypsies, 12-seater buses known as Mini-Canters, and 20-seater buses known as Canters are available for safari. Canters are only available a few hours before the safari and must be booked online. The vehicles enable easy access to many regions of the park, allowing you to see a wide range of vegetation and fauna. Each safari lasts around 3 hours.

Sawai Madhopur
The park was founded by the Indian government in 1955 as the Sawai Madhopur Game Refuge, which was later designated as a tiger reserve forest in 1973. The adjacent forests were given the names Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary and Keladevi Sanctuary, and were included in the tiger project and recognised as part of Ranthambore Park's tiger reserve area.
