Most of the luxury hotels and resorts offer curated safari experiences with personal naturalists and wildlife guides. You can also book a wildlife package, for up to 15 days, on the official website of Ranthambore National Park (ranthamborenationalpark. com). Go beyond the safari to explore the majestic Ranthambore Fort inside the national park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the fort houses numerous Hindu and Jain temples in its premises.
