Overview
Take a trip to Ranthambore National Park on your India Vacation
While on India tours, do consider a visit to Ranthambore National Park which is the largest national park in northern India. Located 180 km (112 miles) southeast of Jaipur, in the state of Rajasthan, the park covers a vast area of nearly 400 sq. km (249 sq. miles) and is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya hill ranges.
Becoming a national park in 1980, Ranthambore was first established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955, and then a tiger reserve in 1973. Growing to include adjacent forests in 1984, Ranthambore National Park is now best known for its large tiger population and reserve. As tigers are the main attraction, it’s not hard to spot one on a trip to India!
Ranthambore National Park is home to a wide variety of animals, trees, plants, birds, reptiles, and various bodies of water. Safari rides on India tours are offered through various zones in the park to view the rich fauna and flora.
Ranthambore Fort is located in the park and offers majestic views 213 metres (700 ft) above the surrounding plain. Built-in the 10th century, the fort features three stone temples which were built in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Padam Talao is the largest lake in Ranthambore National Park and features Jogi Mahal, a red-stoned structure, by the lake’s edge. Also near the lake is a huge banyan tree, considered to be India’s second largest. Ranthambore National Park on a trip to India is open to the public from October to May. Featuring accommodation and transportation facilities in the park, a visit here will satisfy any photographer and wildlife enthusiast.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way
My favourite drinks are aam panna, a traditional Indian summer drink made from raw mangoes, known for its refreshing taste and cooling properties, and mango lassi, the iconic Indian yogurt drink

ExcellentBased on 5,242 ReviewsWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly DawnI can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle LabarcaI had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie WilliamsWe were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormackThe destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years.
If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek TravelWe had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you!
Ben DaubeKatie was professional, extremely responsive, and very welcoming to work with! We appreciate the recommendations, thoughtful edits, and the expertise.

Even though the trip didn’t come into fruition as expected, she still remained committed to adjusting around our itinerary every step of the way. I’m very thankful for the opportunity she gave us as well as just general ideas for the trip.JennaWorking with Isabella on a families trip to Ireland! The itinerary was 2 weeks, self drive with many excursions and a family wedding in the middle of it all! She was amazing from start to finish! She answered every question my clients had!
