The essential tips for tourists who are planning their visit to Ranthambore and its National park are:

1. Carry sober clothes with eco-friendly dyes and no vibrant colours. The shiny colour tends to scare the animals as they aren’t used to it.

3. One must also carry binoculars to observe the flora and fauna that Ranthambore has to offer.

4. For photography, guests are requested to carry an extra set of batteries, a camera bag and sufficient memory storage sticks.

The visitors are always suggested to take at least more than two safaris, one in the morning and the other in the evening, to increase their chances of watching a tiger if time permits. According to the guides and locals, morning safari is better as the zone one to five are said to be best for spotting a tiger. The tigers, being nocturnal animals, are active in the morning.

Normally, it is suggested to book online tickets for the safari or ask your hotel staff to manage a booking for the same in case you missed the online part. However, some travellers have also admitted to sighting a tiger in the evening batch of the safari. Visitors need to rely on a lot of luck to be at the right place and right time for the possible sightings of tigers.
