Summer Season - April to June Months

Of course, the summer season, from April to June, is the least preferred season to visit this park due to the unbearable hot weather. The Ranthambore park is adjacent to the Thar desert and due to this the place is real hot in daytime and the temperature usually goes higher, up to the 48 degree Celsius. Though, it is very difficult for most of the people to roam around the forest in the scorching sun in this season, but if you can tolerate the hot climate then you should visit during this season due to the two reasons: one is there is less crowd in this season and the second is there is a higher chance to trace the majestic tiger in this season, mostly in and around the water bodies of this forest. But of course, don't forget to keep sunscreens, scarves, and sleeved cotton dresses with you to fight the blazing sun outside.
