Ranthambore Safari Price & Fees 2026
Jeep and canter safari fees for Indian and international guests, and what the price includes
Ranthambore safari fees depend on the vehicle and on whether the guest is Indian or international. There is no separate park entry ticket: the fee for your jeep or canter seat is the price of the safari. The rates below are the ones we currently list; they are set by the Rajasthan Forest Department and can change.
Current safari fees
| Vehicle | Guest | Fee | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeep (gypsy) | Indian | ₹2,200 per person | Up to 6 guests |

| Canter | Indian | ₹1,500 per person | Up to 20 guests |
| Canter | International | ₹3,850 per person | Up to 20 guests |
Fees may change seasonally. Our tour packages include the safari permit charges, so there is nothing extra to pay at the gate for the safaris in your package. Compare options on the tour packages page, check safari timings, or request a booking.
