Book wildlife safaris in Ranthambore National Park in advance, especially during peak season, as they can sell out quickly.
Hire a local guide for a more informative and engaging experience when visiting historical sites and museums.
Carry a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated, as the hot climate can lead to dehydration and heat exhaustion.
Dress in neutral-colored clothing when going on wildlife safaris, as bright colors can startle and disturb animals.
Be respectful of local customs and traditions, and always ask for permission before taking photographs of people or religious sites.
