Ranthambore Safari Gates for Zones 1 to 10

One small thing can make your Ranthambore safari morning much easier: knowing your safari zone and entry gate before you reach the park.

Ranthambore has 10 safari zones. Some zones use common entry or reporting points, while others follow different entry routes. Always check the zone, reporting point and instructions mentioned on your confirmed safari permit or voucher before travelling to the park. The zone on your safari permit tells you which gate you need to use. You cannot choose a different gate on your own.

When choosing a hotel, consider its location in relation to possible safari reporting points. After your safari zone is confirmed, verify the exact pickup or reporting instructions for your booking.

Let’s make it simple and see which gate is used for each zone.

Entry Routes for Ranthambore Safari Zones 1 to 5

For Zones 1 to 5, the safari route starts from Ranthambore Fort Road. You will pass through the Sherpur check-post before reaching the forest entry area.

But there is one thing to remember: Zones 1 to 5 do not use the same gate.

Your gate depends on the zone written on your safari permit.

Zones 1, 4 and 5

Singhdwar Route

Zones 2 and 3

Jogimahal Gate Route

These zones cover the central areas of the reserve. You will find well-known places such as Ranthambore Fort, Padam Talab, and Rajbagh in and around these zones.

You may see tigers, deer, birds, crocodiles, and other wildlife during the safari. Since these are core zones, you also need to follow the park rules carefully.

Zones 1 to 5 are popular, so safari bookings can fill up quickly, especially during busy travel periods. If your dates are fixed, it is better to book early.

And once your zone is confirmed, check your hotel location too. Staying somewhere convenient for your gate can save you extra travel time in the early morning.

Safari Reporting Information for Zones 6 to 10

Now come Zones 6 to 10. These zones are in the outer areas of Ranthambore, and each one has a separate entry gate.

So, if your permit says Zone 6, you need to use the gate for Zone 6. You cannot simply go to the gate for Zone 2 or Zone 3.

For Zones 6 to 10, always check the reporting point and entry instructions mentioned on your confirmed permit or booking voucher. Reporting arrangements may vary and should be verified before travel.
