During the winter, the day temperature ranges from 16-20 degrees Celcius, which is congenial weather for a safari tour. While the wind is chilly during the early morning and late in the evening, wearing a windcheater and warm clothing will keep you protected from the cold. The added attraction of visiting National Park Ranthambore in winter, is the number of migratory birds that come here from colder regions in Central Asia and Europe. While the park is at its greenest after the monsoon and during the winter, summer is actually a good time to see the animals, because the vegetation thins out in the summer and the animals come more often to the watering holes in the park.
Ranthambore National Park is open to the public every year from October 1st to June 30th. The Park is closed during the monsoon months.
