Why we curated this specific route?

“The History Detox.”

The classic Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) is magnificent, but it can be “monument heavy.” After three days of forts and history, travelers often crave a change of pace.

We added Ranthambore National Park right in the middle of the loop. It acts as the perfect palate cleanser. You go from the crowded streets of Old Delhi to the silence of the forest, and then back to the royal grandeur of Jaipur. It transforms a standard sightseeing trip into a true Indian adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Canter and Jeep Safari?

A Canter is an open-top bus that seats 20 people. It is higher up, offering good visibility but is less maneuverable. A Jeep (Gypsy) seats 6 people, is faster, and can go deeper into narrow tracks. We include a Canter by default, but you can upgrade to a Jeep for an extra cost.

Is it safe to drive from Ranthambore to Jaipur?

Yes, the road is decent. It takes about 3.5 to 4 hours. It is a comfortable drive through rural Rajasthan.

Can I start this tour from Jaipur?

Yes. The route works perfectly in reverse: Jaipur ➝ Ranthambore ➝ Agra ➝ Delhi. This is great if you are flying into Jaipur.

What are the chances of seeing a Tiger?

Ranthambore has one of the highest tiger densities in India. However, sightings are never guaranteed; they depend on luck, weather, and the zone allocated by the forest department.

Can we add a second safari?

Yes! We usually schedule a Morning Safari. If you arrive early on Day 4, we can add an Afternoon Safari as well for an additional cost.

What happens if the park is closed (Monsoon)?

If you travel between July and September, we can replace Ranthambore with Jhalana Leopard Safari in Jaipur, which stays open all year round.
