Imagine a land where golden deserts meet dense forests, where thunderous footsteps echo at sunrise, and rare big cats roam near ancient forts. If that excites you, then Rajasthan is calling — and IMA Holiday has the perfect blend of wildlife and royalty just for you. In this guide, we explore Rajasthan tour packages tailored for wildlife lovers, sprinkling in insider tips, must-see spots, and everything you need to plan an unforgettable journey.
Because Rajasthan is not just about palaces and forts — it’s also home to some of India’s finest wildlife reserves. Moreover, with IMA Holiday’s expert-crafted itineraries, you can seamlessly merge your love for nature with a touch of regal indulgence.
Why Choose Rajasthan for Wildlife Enthusiasts?
Rajasthan often conjures images of camel rides, royal palaces, and desert dunes. However, Rajasthan wildlife tour packages showcase a lesser-known but equally spectacular dimension of this state.
- Tiger Reserves & National Parks: Ranthambore, Sariska, and Mukundra Hills are famed for their tiger populations.
- Birding & Wetlands: Bharatpur’s Keoladeo National Park is a hotspot for migratory birds, flamingos, pelicans, and aquatic life.
- Unique Desert Wildlife: In places like the Thar Desert, you might spot desert foxes, chinkaras, and even blackbucks.
- Scenic landscapes + wildlife: The contrast of forts, valleys, and forested terrain makes wildlife viewing dramatically beautiful.
Therefore, a Rajasthan wildlife circuit feels like the best of both worlds — nature trails, luxury stays, and royal heritage all in one.

FAQs: Rajasthan Tour Packages & Wildlife
What is included in a typical Rajasthan tour package?
Typically, it includes accommodation, meals (breakfast or more), ground transport, local guides, wildlife safaris (with permits), and heritage sightseeing. With IMA Holiday, optional add-ons (extra safari, cultural programs) are also possible.
How many days are ideal for a wildlife + heritage Rajasthan trip?
A balanced trip of 7 to 10 days works well if you want both strong wildlife exposure and region coverage. Shorter (5–6 day) trips focus more on one or two parks.
Can I see tigers in Rajasthan?
Yes — especially in Ranthambore (most famous) and Sariska (if populations are stable). However, sightings aren’t guaranteed, so multiple safaris improve chances.
Is Rajasthan safe for solo female travellers on wildlife tours?
Yes — especially with organized operators like IMA Holiday. Always follow local guide instructions, avoid late night solo walks, and choose accommodations trusted by the company.
What is the best time to book Rajasthan wildlife packages?
Ideally 3–6 months in advance, especially if travelling in peak season (October–March). Some forest areas also require advance permits.
Are there park closures I should worry about?
Yes — during monsoons (July–September), many reserves close. Also, internal maintenance or seasonal restrictions may apply. IMA Holiday monitors these closely to adjust itineraries.
Can the itinerary be customized?
Absolutely. You can change number of safari days, heritage stops, buffer zones, offbeat villages — IMA Holiday offers flexibility without hidden fees.
