Wildlife Tours in Rajasthan
Discover the Wild Side of the Royal State
Rajasthan is famous for its royal palaces and golden deserts — but beyond the forts and cities lies another world filled with incredible wildlife, lush forests, and thrilling safaris. From majestic tigers to graceful deer, exotic birds, and crocodile-filled lakes, Wildlife Tours in Rajasthan offer an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Why Choose Rajasthan for a Wildlife Tour?
Despite being a desert-dominated region, Rajasthan has a surprisingly rich biodiversity. Its national parks and sanctuaries are home to over 25 species of mammals, 350+ bird species, and several endangered animals. The state’s conservation efforts and eco-tourism initiatives make it one of the best destinations in India for wildlife exploration.
Top Wildlife Destinations in Rajasthan
1. Ranthambore National Park (Sawai Madhopur)
One of India’s most famous tiger reserves, Ranthambore is where you can spot the Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat. The park’s lakes, ruins, and dense forests create a dramatic safari backdrop. Morning and evening jeep safaris are available from October to June.
2. Sariska Tiger Reserve (Alwar)
Just a few hours from Jaipur, Sariska is perfect for short wildlife trips. Apart from tigers, it’s home to leopards, wild boars, hyenas, sambar deer, and many bird species. The nearby Sariska Palace adds royal charm to your stay.
3. Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary)
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this sanctuary attracts thousands of migratory birds — including the Siberian Crane, pelicans, and herons. It’s a paradise for birdwatchers and photographers. Visit between November and February for the best sightings.
4. Desert National Park (Jaisalmer)
Experience desert wildlife among sand dunes and fossil beds. Look out for the Great Indian Bustard, desert foxes, eagles, and chinkaras. Combine it with a camel safari or a stay at a desert camp for a complete experience.
