Ranthambore National Park · Multiple visits
Our Ranthambore Safaris
Home. Every visit feels like coming back to something familiar. The red soil, the dhok trees, the sound of alarm calls — and the tigers that started this whole adventure.
🐅 Ridhi · Zone 4
Ridhi walking straight toward us through the dry forest. We sat still and observed her quietly.
🐅 Cooling off
A tiger cooling off in a rocky pool to beat the summer heat.
🐅 Durga (maybe) · Zone 4
Possibly Durga from Shakti's earlier litter, sitting in the dry grass in Zone 4. You spot a tiger. Then you realise - it spotted you first!
🐅 My first sighting of Ridhi
The most special sighting ever!
🐅 Hidden in plain sight
Can you see the tiger? It is right there — lying flat in the dry grass under a dhok tree. This is how tigers stay invisible (camouflage) in Ranthambore.
🐅 Ridhi's cub · Zone 4
Ridhi's cub who I nicknamed Lazy Bum because all he did was bask in the sun!
Sloth bear in the ruins
A sloth bear using an ancient stone arch as shelter. Ranthambore has a thousand-year-old fort at its heart — the wildlife lives among the ruins.
The sambar stag
A huge sambar stag right next to the jeep, completely unbothered. Sambar are the tiger favourite prey - where you see sambar, a tiger is never far.
Spotted deer crossing
Chital crossing the road in the most beautiful morning light. When deer are relaxed and grazing, no tiger is nearby.
Chinkara on the ridge
A really cool sighting - not everything is about spotting a tiger!
Mugger crocodile
In Padam Talao - the same lakes where Machli once hunted crocodiles — this crocodile is chilling.
Looking for tigers
My Dad still thinks I don't know how to use binoculars!
The best feeling
Nothing beats this
Art in the jeep
Sometimes I like to draw to help the time pass quicker while waiting for a sighting
My first binoculars
I've spotted so many tigers through these!
Guests of the forest
We are all guests of the forest
Our shadows at golden hour
Golden hour is the prettiest. Best light for photography and also means we have to leave soon!
🐅🐅 Noori & Malang · Zone 1
Noori and Malangs first date. Hope cubs come soon!
🐅 Malang · Main Road
Malang, at extremely close range on the main road.
🐅 Malang · Main Road
Malang, crossing the paved road in full stride with jeeps on both sides frozen in silence. The jeeps made sure to keep a safe distance.
🐅 Ridhi · Zone 3
Ridhi making her way to Zone 2 from Zone 3 with us following at a safe distance!
🐅 Ridhi · Zone 3
We spent most of this safari waiting for Ridhi to cross the river which she finally did right before time was up!
🐅 Ganesh · T-120 · Zone 4
Spotted Ganesh as soon as we entered the jungle!
🐅 Monsoon visit
Lazy Bum being lazy!
🐅 Shakti · Zone 4
Shakti hunting. Go to Shakti's profile to hear the story!
🐅 Shakti's cubs · Zone 4
They slept. and they slept. and they kept sleeping.
🐅 Durga · Zone 4
We waited and waited for her cubs to show.
🐅 Durga's cub · Zone 4
Then we found them a distance away from Durga!
🐅 Shakti · Zone 4
Shakti getting into hunting mode!
🐆 Leopard!
The spotted coat between the trees — a leopard. Ranthambore has leopards but they are extremely secretive. Most visitors never see one. We did.
Sloth bear in the forest
I once saw three of them together. One sitting on a tree feeding the other two.
Sambar on the fort walls
A sambar deer climbing the ancient stone ramparts of the Ranthambore fort. A thousand-year-old fort, a deer on its walls, tigers somewhere below. Only here.
The lookout
Monkey on the tree, Tiger to see. Monkey on the ground, no Tiger around.
The mongoose
We always hope to spot one as we enter as they are supposed to bring luck!
The race home
Heading into the jungle for the morning safari!
