Rathambore Question

Kruska · Jun 13th, 2008, 17:01

Hi

I would like to know if you have to pre-reserve the tickets for the park or you can arrange everything when you arrive.Does someone know the prices of the tickets and the tour on private jeep? Any recomendations of a nice hotel there?

Thanks a lot
Kruska

I pre-arranged the jeep and canter trips through a travel agent. When I booked there were only spaces in canters (the larger trucks) left, but by the time I got there, they were able to find spaces in jeeps as well, so I had 2 jeep and 1 canter trip.

I don't know how easy it is just to turn up and try and get on a canter on the day, but if you're going all the way to Ranthambhore, I'd suggest you pre-book.

As for hotels - how much are you looking to spend?

I stayed at Khem Villas, which was lovely but not cheap. Their prices (for all meals, but not alcoholic or fizzy drinks) are:

Cottages: Indian Rupees 14,000 (single occupancy Rupees 12,000)
Tents: Indian Rupees 11,500 (single occupancy Rupees 9,000)
Rooms: Indian Rupees 7,000 (single occupancy Rupees 6,000)

Number of safaris are now restricted so if you are planing to visit in high season book accomodation and also safari.

The travel agent I used is a British ex-pat in Delhi, Emma Horne, who works for a company called Himalayan River Runners. I used her to book accommodation, train tickets, cars & drivers, guides, as well as the safaris. Friends living in Delhi had recommended her services.

I'm sure lots of other IMers will have their own recommendations for travel agents.

I'm staying at Khem Villas in December, they advised me to book the safari on-line, I think they open 90 days in advance. You can book them through the Rajasthan web site, I don't have the link here, but it's easy to find.

We were in Ranthambhore in 2006 and stayed at the Ranthambhore Bagh. It was a great place and organised all the safari trips for us. Check out their website www.ranthambhore.com
We thought their rates were very reasonable and will definitely return.
