Three major lakes - Rajbaugh, Milak Talao and Pada talao serve as watering holes for the herbivorous and carnivorous creatures that inhibit this national park which is studded as it is with Rajput pavilions and palaces and the imposing Ranthambore fort.

Costs for this package are generally from $750 to $3,600 for one or two
guests, depending on when you plan to visit and the hotel you choose. Prices in India are seasonal,
with high season October through March and low season April through
September. We offer numerous hotels in different price ranges in
Ranthmbore. Since they are
often full we may need to contact several hotels to find accommodation
within your budget. We have given up trying to publish accurate prices because hotels change
their prices on an ongoing basis, making it impossible for us to forecast
costs without actually making a booking. Keep in mind that India is a fairly costly
destination, with prices comparable to Europe.
