Udaipur Ranthambore Jaipur Tour – 8 Nights 9 Days
Udaipur Ranthambore Jaipur Tour: 8 Nights, 9 Days
This is the eastern route, and the one to take if you want a tiger in the trip. Udaipur for the lakes and palaces, Chittorgarh on the road out, Ranthambore for two safaris, then Jaipur – with Pushkar or Bundi dropped in if the dates allow.
Nine days is the right length for it. The driving legs are long enough that a seven-day version means seeing Ranthambore through a car window, and the park needs two safaris rather than one to be worth the detour at all.

Ranthambore: How the Safaris Work
Worth knowing before you commit. Safaris run in two slots a day, morning and afternoon, with timings set seasonally by the forest department. You travel by gypsy (six seats, open, better for photography) or canter (twenty seats, cheaper, noisier). The park is divided into zones, and your zone is allocated by the forest department – not chosen by you, and not something any operator can guarantee whatever they imply.
Permits need booking well in advance, particularly for the winter months. We strongly suggest two safaris: a sighting on any single drive is luck, and across two drives the odds improve considerably. Anybody promising you a tiger is selling something they cannot deliver.
Safari permits, gypsy or canter seats and zone allocation go through the forest department booking system. We provide the road transport and will time your arrival so you make a slot rather than miss one by an hour.
