6 Days Ranthambore Tour with Sariska & Bharatpur
5 Nights / 6 Days
Delhi – Bharatpur – Ranthambore – Sariska – Delhi
Tour Overview
Experience three of North India's best-known wildlife destinations on this 6 Days Ranthambore Tour with Sariska & Bharatpur. Starting from Delhi, the route first reaches Bharatpur, famous for its wetland birdlife, before continuing to Ranthambore for multiple jungle safari opportunities. The final wildlife stop is Sariska before returning to Delhi.
This itinerary is ideal for travellers who want a focused Rajasthan wildlife circuit rather than a fort-and-palace tour. Bharatpur offers excellent birding and wetland landscapes, Ranthambore introduces dry forest, lakes and tiger habitat, while Sariska adds another contrasting reserve in the Aravalli region.
The route combines different ecosystems in one compact trip. Keoladeo National Park at Bharatpur is particularly important for resident and migratory birds, while Ranthambore and Sariska are better known for larger mammals and dry deciduous forest. Wildlife sightings always depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
Safari timings, entry zones and permits are controlled by the relevant forest authorities. The itinerary can be customised according to permit availability, preferred safari count, hotel category and departure schedule.
Tour Highlights:
- Travel from Delhi to Bharatpur on a dedicated Rajasthan wildlife route.
- Explore the bird-rich wetlands of Keoladeo National Park.
- Enjoy multiple safari opportunities in Ranthambore National Park.
- Look for tigers, deer, crocodiles and varied birdlife in Ranthambore.
- Travel through Rajasthan's rural landscapes between wildlife reserves.
- Experience Sariska Tiger Reserve in the Aravalli region.
- Return to Delhi after a compact three-reserve wildlife journey.
Detailed Itinerary
Begin the journey with a morning departure from Delhi and travel by private car towards Bharatpur, one of Rajasthan's most important birding destinations.
On arrival, check in at your hotel and take some time to relax before visiting Keoladeo National Park, formerly known as the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary. This wetland reserve supports a remarkable variety of resident and migratory birds depending on the season.
Explore the park by cycle rickshaw, bicycle or on foot according to local arrangements. Common sightings may include herons, egrets, storks, ducks, kingfishers, raptors and many other water and woodland species.
Return to the hotel after the visit and enjoy a relaxed evening.
Overnight stay in Bharatpur.
After breakfast, leave Bharatpur and continue by road towards Ranthambore. The journey crosses the plains and rural districts of eastern Rajasthan.
On arrival, check in at your wildlife resort or hotel and enjoy some time to relax. Ranthambore is one of India's best-known tiger reserves, with a landscape of dry forest, lakes, rocky ridges and historic ruins.
Depending on arrival time and confirmed permit availability, an afternoon safari may be possible. Otherwise, spend the rest of the day at leisure and prepare for the following day's wildlife activities.
Safari zones and timings are allocated by the forest authorities and may vary according to season and availability.
Overnight stay in Ranthambore.
Begin the day with an early morning jungle safari in Ranthambore National Park , subject to confirmed forest permits.
The park is famous for Bengal tigers, although sightings can never be guaranteed. Other wildlife may include sambar deer, spotted deer, nilgai, wild boar, langurs, crocodiles and numerous bird species.
Return to the resort after the safari for breakfast and some time to relax. The middle of the day is free for rest, photography or enjoying the resort surroundings.
In the afternoon, take another jungle safari if included in your confirmed programme. Different zones can offer varied landscapes and wildlife opportunities.
Overnight stay in Ranthambore.
Enjoy another day focused on the wilderness of Ranthambore. An early morning safari can be arranged according to your confirmed package and forest permit availability.
With multiple safari opportunities, travellers have more time to appreciate the reserve's varied terrain, from open grassland and woodland to lakes, rocky hills and historic structures inside the wider landscape.
After returning to the resort, relax during the warmer part of the day. Depending on your interests, you may also explore nearby local areas or enjoy additional time for nature photography.
A further afternoon safari may be included if permits have been booked. Wildlife movement changes throughout the day, so every drive can provide a different experience.
Overnight stay in Ranthambore.
After breakfast, check out from your Ranthambore hotel and drive towards Sariska in the Aravalli region of Rajasthan.
The road journey passes through rural towns, agricultural landscapes and low hills before reaching the reserve area. On arrival, check in at your wildlife lodge or hotel.
Depending on arrival time and safari availability, you may take an afternoon jungle safari in Sariska Tiger Reserve. The reserve contains dry deciduous forest, rocky valleys and grassland supporting deer, nilgai, wild boar, jackals, langurs and a variety of birds.
Sariska is also part of India's tiger conservation network, though sightings of tigers or other wildlife always depend on natural conditions.
Overnight stay in Sariska.
If your confirmed programme includes a morning safari, begin the day with an early wildlife drive through Sariska before returning to the hotel for breakfast.
Later, check out and begin the road journey back to Delhi. The route leaves the Aravalli landscape behind and gradually returns to the busier National Capital Region.
On arrival in Delhi, you will be transferred to your hotel, airport or another agreed location for your onward journey.
Your 6-day Bharatpur, Ranthambore and Sariska wildlife tour concludes after experiencing wetland birdlife, tiger-reserve landscapes and three distinctive protected areas of northern India.
Tour concludes in Delhi.
