ultimate guide to visiting ranthambore fort

How to Visit Ranthambore Fort – [what to see, how to get here]

We arrived in Sawai Madhopur specifically to try and spot wild Tigers in Ranthambore National Park.  However, its impossible to ignore the magnificent Ranthambore Fort.  It sits high on an escarpment in the middle of the National Park. We’d already seen the glorious Gwalior Fort, the dirty Delhi Red Fort and the lovely Agra Fort.  We also planned to see more of the Rajasthan Hill Forts, so this was too good an opportunity to pass up.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN COMPENSATED AND AFFILIATE LINKS MORE INFORMATION IN  OUR DISCLAIMER

Ranthambore Fort is one of the six forts included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site under the title of “Hill Forts of Rajasthan”.  The fort walls are around 7 kilometres long and it was founded in 944.  Its located on an outcrop 700 feet above the surrounding land and was built by the Nagil Jats.   There were also Buddhist stupa established here in the 3 rd century by Ashoka, who’s pillar we saw in the glorious Sanchi earlier in our trip.

Ranthambore Fort – UNESCO Hill Fort of Rajasthan

Ranthambore Fort gets its name from two hills – Thanbhor, on which the fort is located, and Ran which is nearby.

Road to Ranthambore Fort

The fort has a long and detailed history, but eventually was passed to the Maharajas of Jaipur in the 17 th century. It remained part of Jaipur until Indian Independence.  Ranthambore National Park that now surrounds the fort was a hunting ground for the Maharajas of Jaipur.  Jaipur joined the state of Rajasthan in 1950. Ranthambore Fort contains three Hindu temples which are dedicated to Ganesh, Shiva and Ramlalaji.  There’s also a Jain temple here too.

If you’re looking for our guide on Tiger Safaris in Ranthambore, then that’s here.

Our Tour of Ranthambore Fort

We arrived in Sawai Madhopur, checked into our hotel and then had lunch.  After lunch on that first day we took a tour with Vishnu who runs the Green View Hotel.  He’s also a National Park Guide.  We left for our tour at 4pm, paying 1500 INR for his guiding services, a driver and a jeep for a three hour tour.  This fee also included our park entry fees.

Road through Ranthambore National Park

There were just us two, Vishnu and our driver in a small “gypsy” jeep.  En-route to the fort Vishnu gave us an overview, background and history of the fort, ensuring we understood the most pertinent bits. We’re here to explore the fort and see some of the wildlife, but not specifically tigers, that will come later.

Entering Ranthambore Fort

It takes perhaps 15 minutes to drive into the National Park from Sawai Madhopur.  Then it’s a further few minutes to drive to steps at the base of the Fort.  This is where you leave the jeep and start the climb up the fort. It’s not an onerous climb, the path is stone clad and good.

Steps at Ranthambore Fort

Spotting Wildlife in Ranthambore Fort

Going through the park you’ll pass deer, peacocks and langur monkeys. Literally, just at the side of the road.

Deer at Ranthambore Fort

I’m definitely not a monkey fan.  The langur’s, however, are more pleasant than the more aggressive red faced monkeys that you’ll find in the town.    That said, don’t leave anything lying around or it will disappear pretty quickly!

Peacocks at Ranthambore Fort

The Buildings of Ranthambore Fort

The fort is in an arrested state of decay, many walls have been repaired and its possible to still see some of the decoration in some areas.  There is, though, graffiti, but not a huge amount.

Inside Ranthambore Fort

You will find fabulous views over Ranthambore National Park and be able to see that the fort’s defences are superb.  There are still a number of active temples throughout the fort.  They’re well worth putting your head into, especially if you have a guide to explain further.  I don’t know how you would visit the park without a guide, as you’re not allowed to drive into the park without one.

Temples at Ranthambore National Park

Don’t miss the water tanks.  It’s here, where, according to legend, thousands of Ranthambore women committed mass suicide, rather than falling prey to an invading army.

Water Tank at Ranthambore National Park

Entrance to Ranthambore Fort is free, but you’ll need to pay for a tour and if you choose to take a tiger safari then you’ll need to pay for that as well. Ranthambore Fort is open from October until June and is open to visitors from 06:30 until 10:30 and then from 14:00 until 18:30.

Don’t Miss out on Ranthambore Fort

If you’ve seen the Red F ort in Delhi, or Agra Fort , then you might be tempted to give Ranthambore Fort a miss and just head to see the tigers.  Don’t!   The wild forts of India have a mystique all of their own.  They’re remote, often in harsh countryside, and so beautiful in their desolation.  There just happen to be wild tigers at Ranthambore too.  Don’t miss them either!

The Ranthambore fort was not made by any Nagil Jat ruler, but by the early Chauhans. Where did you get this information that it was constructed by Nagil Jat rulers? Would be really helpful if you may kindly answer

Ranthambore Fort Sawai Madhopur

History of Ranthambore Fort

The Ranthambore Fort is one of the oldest and most historically significant forts in Rajasthan. Due to its location, it acted as a prime trade link between North and Central India and was captured and fortified by many rulers through centuries since its construction.

The actual date of construction of the fort is unconfirmed. However, many believe that construction was started in the 8th century by King Jayant, the Chauhan ruler. The fort was completed sometime in the early 1100s.

Since then, the fort has been attacked and fortified by many rulers, including Prithviraj Chauhan I, Muhammad Ghori, Prithviraj Chauhan III, Iltutmish, Sultan Balban and also the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate- Alauddin Khilji. The fort was finally conquered by the Mughal ruler- Akbar in 1558 and it remained under the control of the Mughals till the middle of the 18th century.

In 1763, after the influence of the Mughal empire started to diminish, the Rajput ruler Sawai Madho Singh attempted to capture the fort unsuccessfully, and instead fortified a village called Sherpur near the fort and renamed it Sawai Madhopur.

He was then the ruler of the Jaipur state and after creating Sawai Madhopur, he was eventually granted control of the Ranthambore Fort by the Mughal ruler. Sawai Man Singh built a railway line between the cities of Jaipur and Sawai Madhopur during the reign of the British over India. This railway station has since expanded to become the primary access point to Ranthambore Fort.

Ranthambore Fort – Attractions and Places to Visit

Apart from the Ranthambore ka Kila itself, there are quite some places that are quite popular and must not be missed when in Ranthambore.

  • Trinetra Ganesha Temple

The Trinetra Ganesh Temple is one of the oldest temples in India, built with red Karauli stone. It is situated inside the premises of the Ranthambore Fort , which is one of the most famous tourist attractions in all of Rajasthan. This temple is a one-of-a-kind temple, where Lord Ganesha is represented with all the members of his family.

The Sringar Aarti is performed at 9:00 am. The Bhog for the Lord is performed at 12:00 noon. The Sandhya or the evening Aarti, during the sunset is performed at 6:00 pm in summer and at 5:45 pm in winter. The Shayan Aarti is performed at 8:00 pm in the late evening, followed by a prayer in chorus chanted by the priests of the temple and the main devotees of the Lord. Even if you are not religious, or you want to see the fort and temple for their historical or architectural significance, the aartis are a spectacle to behold

In Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha is considered to be the powerful God of wealth, fortune, wisdom and education. Therefore, all year round, this temple receives thousands of marriage invitations and wish-fulfilment letters addressed to Lord Ganesh, addressed with the faith that the Lord will fulfil the wishes of His devotees.

Devotees from all over the world visit this temple throughout the year and even construct little images of houses near the temple premises, which in itself is an attractive feature about the place. People do this in the hope that their Lord will fulfil their dreams of buying a house or making one. Here, Ganesha is worshipped five times daily in the form of different “ aartis ”. The aarti or the first worshipping ceremony starts in the morning with the ‘morning aarti’ or the Prabhat Aarti.

  • Ranthambore Park

Ranthambore National Park is located about 13.5 kilometers from the city of Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan. Located at the junction of the Aravali and Vindhya hill ranges, this is one of the finest places to view wild animals, especially as they are used to being stared at here. The park covers an area of approximately 400 sq km, and if combined with the area of Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary area, is around 500 sq km.

Ranthambore National Park is dotted with structures that remind you of bygone eras. There are numerous water bodies scattered all across the park, which provide perfect relief to the wild animals during the scorching hot days in summers. A huge fort, after which the park is named, towers over the park atop a hill. There are many ruins of bygone eras scattered all over the jungle, which give it a unique, wonderful and mixed flavour of nature, history and wildlife. Tigers at Ranthambore National park have been known to even hunt in full view of human visitors.

  • Malik Talao

Malik Lake is the smallest of the lakes in Ranthambore, but is immensely popular for the frequent views of wildlife that are offered here. Despite of its small size the banks are often teeming with several wild animals and birds . The Indian Marsh Crocodiles or Mugger can also be found here so one must approach the banks with extreme caution. Nevertheless, due to its high wildlife activity, the lake is one of the best places to capture the animals with your camera. It is also one of the few places where spotting tigers is extremely frequent.

  • Padam Talao

Located deep inside the Ranthambore National Park, Padam Talao is one of the largest lakes in the city. It is believed that this is the very lake where Princess Padmavati would bathe, and also the place where she committed sati. The beautifully ornate Jogi Mahal stands in close proximity to the lake.

Surrounded by dense forests, the lake is frequented by several animals who make their way to the lake to drink water in the sweltering heat. One can also spot the rare Chinkara Deer in the morning.

Since several animals hunt in close proximity to the lake, it is a great spot for wildlife photography. In the summer, when the water starts drying out, you can spot crocodiles and other animals during the summers. Although you cannot go near it, you can catch a glimpse of it while enjoying a jeep safari, or from the Ranthambore Fort.
