Travel Tips for Sawai Madhopur

Wrap up warm in Ranthambore

by PeteG

If you are going on a tiger safari the chances are you will be leaving quite early in the morning and it is still pretty cold.

You may leave your hotel and thing, "its not too cold and will warm up". However, once you get in the open top safari vehicle and it starts driving to the park it is absolutely freezing!

When they offer you a blanket to take with you, take it. Men - don't be macho and so no, take it, you will need it.

Crocodiles

by grets

Mugger's Crocodiles were artificially inrtoduced to the park in the late 1970s. They can grow to a maximu length of four metres and can often bee seen basking in the sunshine to raise their temperature (being that they are cold blooded).

Five Striped Squirrel

by grets

Local name: Gilheri; Scientific name: Funambulus pennanti

The squirrel is widespread and very tame in and around the villages, as well as in the park.

There is a legend attached to this squirrel - it was this species which Rama thanked for helping the monkeys to build the bridge to Lanka when he was rescuing Sita from Ravana.
The stripes were left when he stroked one of them, and have been there ever since!

Ranthambore Fort # 9

by grets

There is no entrance fee to go into the fort, nor are there guides available. We brought our own guide, the naturalist who came with us on the game drives, which makes for a more interesting visit, but him providing us with information and history regarding the fort.
