In short: a Ranthambore “ticket” is a Forest Department safari permit for one seat, in one zone, on one shift. It is sold online, never at the gate, and it covers park entry, the vehicle seat and the guide. You can buy it on the official portal, or send us your date and we book it in your name and you pay only after it is confirmed. Through us, canter seats are available now from ₹2,200 per person for Indian nationals (from ₹4,500 for foreign nationals). Gypsy seats are ₹2,500 (₹4,000) on the advance quota, which is sold out for most upcoming dates; at short notice a whole tatkal gypsy is from ₹36,000.
There is no general entry ticket to Ranthambore National Park. Visitors enter only in a permitted vehicle: an open gypsy with six seats or an open canter with twenty. Each permit names the guest, the zone (1 to 10), the date and the shift (morning or afternoon). The permit fee includes the vehicle seat and the compulsory guide. Ranthambore Fort, inside the reserve, has its own access and does not need a safari permit.
| Seat | Department charge on the portal | Through us, all-in |
|---|---|---|
| Canter seat, Indian national, advance quota | about ₹990 | ₹1,700 |
| Gypsy seat, Indian national, advance quota | about ₹1,610 | ₹2,500 |
| Canter seat, foreign national, advance quota | about ₹2,400 | ₹3,500 |
| Gypsy seat, foreign national, advance quota | about ₹3,025 | ₹4,000 |
| Whole gypsy, Indian nationals, advance quota | six seats at the seat rate | ₹15,999 |
| Canter seat, current quota (available now), Indian / foreign | department fee plus the current-quota charge | from ₹2,200 / from ₹4,500 |
| Premium canter seat (available now), Indian / foreign | premium-quota fee | from ₹3,200 / from ₹5,500 |
| Premium gypsy seat, Indian / foreign | premium-quota fee | from ₹5,500 / from ₹8,000 |
| Premium gypsy, whole vehicle, Indian / foreign | premium-quota fee for the full vehicle | ₹36,000 / ₹46,000 |
| Tatkal gypsy, whole vehicle, Indian / foreign | tatkal fee for the full vehicle | ₹36,000 / from ₹50,000 |
Department figures are as displayed on the official portal on 13 October 2026, rounded. Advance-quota seats are sold out for most upcoming dates, and there is no current quota for gypsies, so a last-minute jeep means a premium-quota gypsy seat (from ₹5,500 per person), a whole premium gypsy (₹36,000) or a whole tatkal gypsy (from ₹36,000, non-refundable and non-transferable once booked). Our price adds the booking service: securing the seat, including sold-out and short-notice dates, WhatsApp support and pickup coordination, and a full refund if the permit is not issued. Booking direct is cheaper; here is when each makes sense.
Register on the Rajasthan Forest Department site, pick zone, date and shift, enter every guest’s ID, pay online. Works well when your date is open and you are comfortable with the portal.
Send the date, shift, guest count and vehicle on WhatsApp or the booking form. We check the portal, book the permit in your name, and send a payment link only once it is confirmed.
Most dates still have seats released daily: current at 10:00 am, tatkal at 11:00 am for a week ahead, premium tatkal at 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. We book in those windows. How it works.

On the official portal the department charges roughly ₹990 for an Indian canter seat and ₹1,610 for an Indian gypsy seat including the vehicle and guide fee, and about ₹2,400 and ₹3,025 for foreign nationals. Our all-in advance-quota prices are ₹1,700 and ₹2,500 for Indians, ₹3,500 and ₹4,000 for foreigners, but advance seats are sold out for most upcoming dates. Current-quota canter seats, available now, are from ₹2,200 (from ₹4,500 for foreigners).
No. There is no walk-in entry to the park; you enter only on a permitted safari vehicle, and the permit covers entry, the vehicle seat and the guide. Ranthambore Fort has separate access and does not need a safari permit.
Not in practice. Seats are sold online by zone, date and shift. On the day, the routes are the current quota released at 10:00 am and the premium quota, which we can book for you if seats appear.
The original government photo ID used on the permit, for every guest: Aadhaar, passport, voter ID, PAN or driving licence for Indians; passport for foreign nationals. Screenshots are not accepted at the gate.
A permit is non-refundable once issued, through any channel. If a permit cannot be issued after you have paid us, you get a full refund.
Reply in minutes, 7am to 10pm IST. Pay only after we confirm availability; full refund if the permit can’t be issued.
Sold out online? Ask us. We book from the daily current and tatkal quotas, and you pay only after we confirm availability, with a full refund if the permit can’t be issued.
