Can I still get a Ranthambore safari on my date?
There is often still a way, but nobody can promise a seat until it is released. If advance seats have gone, three later releases remain: tatkal whole gypsies at 11:00 am, 7 days before; premium seats 3 days before; and current-quota canter seats at 10:00 am the day before. Zones 1–5 do not run on Wednesdays or from 1 July to 30 September, and zones 6–10 do not run on Tuesdays. Send us your date and we check it. You pay only after we confirm, with a full refund, including our service charge and any pickup charge, if the permit is not issued; tatkal permits are non-refundable once issued.

Which is the best zone in Ranthambore?
There is no permanently best zone, because tigers move and the outer zones have resident tigers too. Zone 3, with Padam Talao and Rajbagh, is the most requested for its scenery. You can request a zone, but the Forest Department allocates it, so no operator can promise one. See the zone guide and the 3D zone map.
Is Ranthambore Tiger genuine, and is it the official website?
It is a private, registered safari booking service and not the Forest Department’s official portal, which is booking.forestrajasthan.com. It was founded and is run by Dr. Mahin Ateek of Sawai Madhopur. It is registered under Udyam UDYAM-RJ-24-0117817, GSTIN 08ABOFR8342M1ZD and Ministry of Tourism NIDHI ID ERJ000569, and you can check both on the government portals. Permits are issued by the Forest Department in your name, and you pay only after we confirm availability. Compare the two routes on official site or Ranthambore Tiger.

What is the difference between a gypsy and a canter safari?
A gypsy is an open 4×4 jeep — the two words mean the same vehicle here — seating up to 6 guests — quieter, more manoeuvrable and better for photography. A canter is an open 20-seat vehicle, cheaper per person and easier to get at short notice. Both run the same two daily shifts, morning and afternoon, for roughly three to three and a half hours.
