How to get here

From Delhi:

It takes about 5 to 6 hours to drive from Delhi airport to Ranthambhore. The shortest route from Delhi to Ranthambhore is through Mumbai-Vadodara Expressway which passes by Sohna and Alwar. There are multiple rest stops with decent facilities along the route, making your journey a comfortable one.

We also recommend talking a train from Delhi to Sawai Madhopur. It is less tiring and cheaper but you would have to book in advance. The trains that we recommend from Delhi to Sawai Madhopur station are the Golden Temple Mail (departure New Delhi), Kota Jan Shatabdi (departure Nizamuddin, Delhi), August Kranti Rajdhani (departure Nizamuddin, Delhi) and the Dehradun Express (departure New Delhi).

From Jaipur:

Jaipur is 160 kilometers from Sawai Madhopur by road and it takes about three hours to get here via Kothun and Lalsot. The road till Kothun is good but has a fair amount of traffic. From the Kothun there is a left turn to Lalsot. This road is not all that great but there is no traffic. From Lalsot there is a right turn to Sawai Madhopur and this road is great.

You could also take a train from Jaipur to here and we recommend the Intercity Express from Jodhpur to Sawai Madhopur via Jaipur (departure Jaipur) and JP-BCT Superfast. There are a few South India bound trains that go via Sawai Madhopur from Jaipur.

From Mumbai:

There are excellent train connections from Mumbai to Sawai Madhopur. The trains that we recommend are Golden Temple mail (departure from Mumbai Central), Jaipur Superfast (departure from Bandra), BCT Jaipur Express (departure from Mumbai Central) and August Kranti Rajdhani express (departure Mumbai Central). You could also take a flight from Mumbai to Jaipur and then drive down to Sawai Madhopur.

From Udaipur:

Udaipur is about 410 kilometers (7 hours drive) from Sawai Madhopur. The best route is from Udaipur to Chittor to Kota to Lakheri to Sawai Madhopur. The road is great and very scenic. There are good train connections between Udaipur and Sawai Madhopur.

The trains that we recommend from Udaipur are Mewar Express and Udaipur-Jaipur Superfast.

From Jodhpur:

Jodhpur is 445 kilometers from Sawai Madhopur (about 9 hours drive) and the route is from Jodhpur to Beawar to Deoli to Tonk to Sawai Madhopur – a long 8 to 10 hours drive. The road from Shahpura to Ranthambhore is usually in a bad shape.

There is one good train from Jodhpur to Sawai Madhopur – the Ranthambhore Express or Jodhpur Intercity Express.

From Agra:

Agra is slightly less than 300 km (5 to 6 hours) from Ranthambhore and the route is from Agra to Bharatpur to Dausa to Sawai Madhopur via Lalsot. Its a great road except for some bad patches between Dausa and Lalsot.
