Overview
Take a trip to Ranthambore National Park on your India Vacation
While on India tours, do consider a visit to Ranthambore National Park which is the largest national park in northern India. Located 180 km (112 miles) southeast of Jaipur, in the state of Rajasthan, the park covers a vast area of nearly 400 sq. km (249 sq. miles) and is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya hill ranges.
Becoming a national park in 1980, Ranthambore was first established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955, and then a tiger reserve in 1973. Growing to include adjacent forests in 1984, Ranthambore National Park is now best known for its large tiger population and reserve. As tigers are the main attraction, it’s not hard to spot one on a trip to India!
Ranthambore National Park is home to a wide variety of animals, trees, plants, birds, reptiles, and various bodies of water. Safari rides on India tours are offered through various zones in the park to view the rich fauna and flora.
Ranthambore Fort is located in the park and offers majestic views 213 metres (700 ft) above the surrounding plain. Built-in the 10th century, the fort features three stone temples which were built in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Padam Talao is the largest lake in Ranthambore National Park and features Jogi Mahal, a red-stoned structure, by the lake’s edge. Also near the lake is a huge banyan tree, considered to be India’s second largest. Ranthambore National Park on a trip to India is open to the public from October to May. Featuring accommodation and transportation facilities in the park, a visit here will satisfy any photographer and wildlife enthusiast.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way
My favourite drinks are aam panna, a traditional Indian summer drink made from raw mangoes, known for its refreshing taste and cooling properties, and mango lassi, the iconic Indian yogurt drink

This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthyElise created a fantastic trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Thank You so Much!!Dave McVayOur trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best).
Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly.
