Traveller notes on Ranthambore in July
Other months in Ranthambore
Ranthambore's forum flags January mornings as genuinely cold and foggy enough to cut into safari visibility, with temperatures dropping into the single digits before sunrise. Regulars are split on tiger sightings this time of year — winter's cooler temperatures keep tigers near waterholes and sunny spots, which helps, but many still rate October, November and February as the stronger overall window.
