Ranthambore is mainly known for Ranthambore National Park, one of the most enthralling wildlife areas in India to spot the famous Bengal Tigers. It is named after the historic Ranthambore Fort which makes the place more enchanting. The place is not only known for its natural wealth but also for some remnants of history. Being an abode of Maharaja in the past, it is dotted with some classic antiquities that will tell you their story. It is small yet thrilling places like these that make it a hotspot of tourist interest.
It lies in an area of 392 sq. km. on a plateau in Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan. Banas River forms the boundary to the North and Chambal River to the South. The park will give you the best sighting experiences of Bengal tigers and other animals like Indian leopard, wild boar, nilgai, sambar deer and mugger crocodile. Its flora richness is equally fascinating that will stun you with one of the largest banyan trees in India.
A fascinating spot within the park is this rustic fort that used to be hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur. It was built in 944 AD by a Chauhan ruler at the top of a hill. The majestic location will please your eyes with a sweeping view of Ranthambore National park. The most striking feature of the fort is Hammir Court that thrills visitors with its acoustic effect.
Fall in love with this beauty at the first sight which lies majestically at the edge of Ranthambore National Park. The main highlight of this valley is frequent sighting of panthers. A jeep safari will be great for you to have an up-close experience of the wild animals like deer, wild boar and sloth bear.
The pristine lake is situated 25 km away from Ranthambore. It is loaded with abundant natural beauty and lush greenery that pulls many nature admirers. People also visit here to enjoy birding as the lake attracts many birds that come to quench their thirst. It is a seasonal lake which remains full of water from November to March. It is considered the best time to visit that will also render you sights of birds.
Raj Bagh ruins are a window to the prehistoric era that will acquaint you with the collection of prehistoric monuments. These are located between Padam Talao and Raj Bagh Talao.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !
I just came back from a 12 days Rajasthan tour. It was just myself and my 14 year olde daughter. I found Caper surfing the web and had non suggestion from friends and had never read comments or reviews about it. Totally "blind-choice". I was very lucky. The organization was really excellent. The agent that followed us, Mr. Praveen Juyal did a great job. I decided our itinerary and he punctually gave me suggestions on the best management of my choices. The hotel choice was fine and confirmed expectations. We had tour guides in every site seeing location and they were all extremely professional, very punctual and really kind and polite.
But I must say that what made the trip even better was our driver; Mr. Deshraj.
One of those persons that you really wish you could meet once in your life. Not only an excellent driver but always helpful, respectful and friendly. He explained us many things about Indian life along the journey and sometimes stopped for short breaks in beautiful places on the road that were not even mentioned in the guide books. My only regret is that at the end of the trip I didn't have much money left and I left a tip probably not adeguate for the kind of service but I will definitely send him try to sort this maybe in a next trip. Thank you very much Caper and Deshraj.

A Memorable Trip
We recently concluded a 12 day driving tour of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan with Caper Travel. It was most enjoyable !! The logistics arrangements were excellent - from tour planning , hotel selection , vehicle condition to driver. Mr Alok handled the planning, and Mr Vikram was our Tempo driver throughout the journey. Mr Vikram was very helpful , accommodating and patient throughout the tour, despite long hours of driving on the roads ( not to mention India traffic}. We would not hesitate to recommend Caper to our fellow travellers who are thinking of visiting India. Thank You Caper !

Golden triangle goa and mumbia
Just come back from an amazing 2 week trip to India. First we done the golden triangle which we chose to do the train trip from Delhi to Agra a must you have to do if not just for the experience. All the cities were wonderful but be prepared to see lots of temple one seems to run into another but wow the taj was my highlight along with the Hindu temple in Delhi. The driving the cows the dogs are everywhere are all an experience. Goa was beautiful we stayed at the taj exotica. In mumbia we done a city tour and ended our trip in the taj for afternoon tea another must. It is a exhilarating trip but one I will never forget. From booking with Manika to all the drivers and guides they were always there to meet us from the airport and hotels on time. They really looked after us thank you all.

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from our first trip to India and we must say it was absolutely fascinating. The itinerary was first class and covered everything we could have wished for. On arrival we were met by a very nice rep and driver who took us to our hotel and sorted out the necessary paperwork with us. We had our driver Vishan for our time in the north and he was terrific, kept the vehicle spotless and kept us supplied with water. We then flew to the south of India and met up with our driver Suhdeer who again was very nice and very informative about things as we drove along. The guides we had on all our trips were excellent and again very informative.
The only down side to it all was that in our package we paid for the drivers accommodation, food and allowance only to find out that the drivers don’t receive this money and if they want accommodation they have to pay for it themselves. We ended up paying one of our drivers an amount for the nights that we had him for him to get somewhere to sleep and food as we were concerned that if he slept in his car he wouldn’t be rested enough to take on the next day driving for 4-5 hours.
All in all Caper Travel are excellent in their planning and can’t fault them for that.

Caper travel
Recently traveled to India on a private guided tour with Caper Travel. Ms. Mumtaz Khan worked with me on arranging my itinerary.
She was always available to answer all my concerns immediately. On my arrival in Delhi I was welcome with warm smile at the airport by a young gentleman name Kapol Joshi . My experience with the company was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to India.
I would also like to mention the personal attention I received at Amritsar by Aman Shara and his lovely wife who welcomed me and my son to their home
and soon to open their beautiful hotel.
