The Ranthambore National Park is said to be the finest place in the world to see wild tigers. It is open to visitors for eight hours a day, broken into two segments - morning and afternoon. While the timings change marginally depending on the time of sunrise and sunset, they are usually from 06:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for the Morning drive, and 2:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. for the afternoon drive. There are two ways to go for your Jungle Safari. The first is the 'Jeep'. These need to be booked at least 64 days in advance. Rajasthan Forest Department allows only 16 Jeeps into the park for each of the two segments, so there is no guarantee for confirm jeep ride. The other is the 20 seater 'Canter' Safari Vehicle, a seat can be booked even on arrival at Camp, but it is advisable to book this in advance during peak season, December and January.
