Ranthambore National Park

The Royal Land Of The Royal Bengal Tiger

Safari Zones

There are 10 safari zones in Ranthambore National Park: Numbered as Zones 1 to 10. Although the park initially had just 5 Zones, the other 5 were added as it grew in popularity. Even though it is believed that Zones 1-5 are the best for spotting tigers, Zones 6-10 also offer sufficient opportunities for tiger sighting. Among these, Zone 2, dotted with numerous water holes, is the most important zone in the park where several animals are regularly spotted, including leopards. Zone 6 Kundal is different from all the other zones, both in terms of its landscape & the opportunities for spotting birds, including the endangered Red-Headed Vultures.
