Best place to see tigers in India

[Josh]

Having never been, all I would suggest is from a safe one! Tigers are beautiful animals but they are territorial, and you don't want to end up running for your life trying to take a selfie with such a powerful cat. I was recently bitten by a feral normal sized cat and I would never wish that on anyone let alone a tiger attack! Be careful, smart and respectful when out catching a glimpse of the amazing wildlife the world has to offer.

You are brave to want to go see a tiger in close proximity. It's ok, I'll just go to the zoo. Hehe. Hope you enjoy India though and be careful.

Ranthambore Tiger reserve is a natural habitat of big Indian cats. its the part of Big Ranthambore National Park with Deere, hyena ,Leopards, wild boar, sambahar,vain stag, foxes, wild dogs, etc. This time tiger population in Ranthambore is in good of numbers so sighting a tiger big e chances.from jaipur to Ranthambore road distance is 140 kms and from Delhi to Ranthambore distance is approximately 430 kms. Suggest to select road trip via Jaipur.

I would also like to drive through a park where the tigers roam free. I hate to see animals caged up in a zoo. Animals roaming free is one of the reasons that I am interested in visiting India.

The first place would be Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh. I went there for my first trip and it was absolutely amazing. They are so beautiful. They have a lot of tigers there too. You can get safari tickets too to see forest tigers as well.

I always love getting first hand experiences of people that have been somewhere and had an amazing experience. I hadn't even considered doing a National Park trip to see animals until reading this thread. I'm going to do a bit more research into the park you mentioned to see if it will feasibly fit into my trip planning, but the way you described it sounds wonderful!

I read there a huge variety of wild life in India, for example India has the largest wild population of tigers in the world. According to websites, the best time in the year to go is November to June and they recommend few safari experiences like, Ultimate India Safari India Wildlife, Temples & Palaces Safari Tigers & Temples of India Safari.

Thanks for the tip on the best time to go, naiara! I didn't realize that there were times that better than others to see the animals. I would hate to go and plan a trip like this, and then realize that I was there at the wrong time of year.
