Right of admission is reserved with the Government of Rajasthan for Ranthambore Safari. The park may be closed without any prior notice to visitors in case of an emergency.

Identity Proof and Entry Requirements:
A photocopy of identity proof is required before entry into the park. Original ID proof must also be presented at the entry point. The ID proof details (number/type, etc.) provided during booking must be complete and accurate, matching the original ID proof, as it is mandatory to reproduce the same ID proof at the counter for the collection of the boarding pass. Bookings made with incomplete or incorrect ID proof details will be treated as invalid.

The cost of tickets and accessories may change after booking. Visitors will be liable to pay the difference at the time of entry into the park in case of any rate revisions.

As of September 15, 2018, advance online safari booking is available for up to 365 days in advance.
-
Mobile Phone and Spotlight Policy:
The use of mobile phones may be prohibited by the Field Director/Conservator of Forests inside the national park/sanctuary. No person shall be allowed to use spotlights inside national parks/sanctuaries unless permitted in advance by the concerned Director, Dy. Director, or DFO. Detailed guidelines for filming, trekking, camping, and the use of watchtowers/hides will be issued by the Chief Wildlife Warden.
-
Minimum Seat Requirement:
A minimum of 16 seats is required for any canter dispatch in the park. If the seats booked are less than the minimum required quantity, the department reserves the right to cancel the booking. If passengers are fewer than the vehicle's capacity, the difference in entry fees will be charged.
-
Amendment and Cancellation Fees:
Any amendments to the safari program after guests’ arrival must be made in writing; otherwise, revised requirements cannot be guaranteed. Full advance payment is required for vehicle hire charges, vehicle park entry fees, visitor entry fees, and naturalist charges. Vehicles are released by the Forest Department only upon receipt of full advance payment, and all advance bookings are non-refundable and non-adjustable.
-
Where Ranthambore safari bookings have been confirmed in writing, a cancellation/amendment fee equal to 100% of visitor entry fees, vehicle entry fees, vehicle hire charges, and naturalist fees will be charged for any cancellation or amendment to the safari program. If bookings have not been confirmed in writing, no cancellation/amendment fee will be charged for changes to the safari program.
-
Late Arrival and Alternative Excursions:
If visitors arrive late and miss their first safari, a cancellation fee equal to 100% of visitor entry fees, vehicle entry fees, vehicle hire charges, and naturalist fees will be charged. If visitors refuse to go on safari, the same cancellation fee applies. Choosing an alternative excursion (e.g., a fort drive instead of a safari) will also incur the same cancellation fees, along with the cost of the alternative excursion. If some members of a group refuse to go on safari, fees will apply for the entire group based on the total number of visitor entry fees, vehicle entry fees, and naturalist fees.
-
Safari by Jeep and Park Closure:
If canters are not running (particularly during the latter part of the season), we reserve the right to provide Ranthambore safari by jeep, charging jeep rates accordingly. The park may close without any prior notice to visitors. All vehicles will remain subject to availability until the drive.
-
Policy Changes and Rate Adjustments:
Please note that any changes in entrance fees or government taxes will be additional and must be paid by the guest or travel agent. Changes in policies by the Ranthambore park authority will be communicated to you and will apply to all future bookings. Terms and conditions are subject to change, and may be amended without prior notice due to various government policies. Rates are subject to change in case of adjustments in validity periods, rate seasons, contracted periods, applicable laws, or government policies.
