If you're planning an Indian tiger safari in 2026, there’s no better place to start than Ranthambhore National Park — one of the finest locations in the world to see wild Bengal tigers. But why stop there? Many of India’s most iconic destinations are just a short distance away, making it easy to extend your journey and experience more of this fascinating country.
Here’s how you can combine your tiger safari in Ranthambhore with a visit to Jaipur, Agra, and other unforgettable places.

Start with a Tiger Safari in Ranthambhore
Located in Rajasthan, Ranthambhore National Park offers one of the best chances to see Bengal tigers in their natural habitat. The park’s rugged hills, lakes, and ancient fort ruins create a dramatic backdrop for wildlife photography.
If you join one of my small group photography tours in March 2026, you’ll enjoy private jeep safaris (maximum of three guests per vehicle), expert guidance, and a focus on both wildlife and the experience itself. View 2026 Tour Details

Explore the Pink City of Jaipur after you Indian Tiger Safari
After your tiger safari, Jaipur — known as the Pink City — is just a few hours away by car or train. Jaipur is famous for its historic palaces, bustling markets, and rich culture.
Highlights to visit:
Amber Fort – A magnificent hilltop fort with sweeping views
City Palace – A stunning royal residence
Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) – One of India’s most photographed facades
Local markets – Ideal for shopping jewellery, textiles, and traditional crafts
Spending two nights in Jaipur allows time to enjoy both sightseeing and relaxation before continuing your journey.

Visit the Taj Mahal in Agra
No trip to northern India is complete without seeing the Taj Mahal. This UNESCO World Heritage Site — often called the most beautiful building in the world — is just a few hours from Jaipur.
Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise or sunset offers truly magical photographic opportunities — perfect for those who enjoy travel photography as much as wildlife.

Other Places to Add If You Have More Time after Your Tiger Safari in India
If you want to expand your Indian adventure beyond Ranthambhore, Jaipur, and Agra, consider:
Delhi: India’s vibrant capital, full of historic monuments, bustling bazaars, and fantastic restaurants.
Bharatpur (Keoladeo National Park): A world-famous bird sanctuary near Agra, ideal for wildlife and bird photography.
Udaipur: A few hours from Ranthambhore, this picturesque lakeside city offers palaces, rooftop dining, and a peaceful break after safari.
With a little planning, it’s easy to create a perfectly balanced trip combining wildlife, culture, history, and photography.
