These rates have been increased after the March 2015 by the Forest Department.

No increase in Canter safari rates

There has been no change in rates of Canter (open top roof safari bus) safari by the forest department and the rates of open safari buses (Canter) have been decided to be kept as before. Tourists will take benefit to visit park by Canter, because the canter safari charges is cheaper than the jeep safari charges in Ranthambore National Park.

Jeep safari rates were increased due to high demand for Jeep

Forest officials say that 80 percent of tourists coming to Ranthambore demand jeep, while the numbers of jeeps are limited for the jungle Safari tour in Ranthambore National Park. In such condition, it is not possible to book tickets in the Gypsy for all tourists. Whereas, the Canters goes to the same place in the park during Jungle safari where the jeeps goes. But often tourists do not prefer to take safari in Canter, while canter safari rates are much lower compared to Jeep safari rates in Ranthambhore national Park. Forest Department argues that if jeep rates are high then tourist's trend will increase towards Canter Safari in Ranthambore. On the other hand, a large number of tourists will be able to park visit by the canter. In the bus, 18-20 tourists travel together while only 6 tourists can visit by jeep in Ranthambore.

As per the Y K Sahu, CCF, and Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve – Jeep safari rates will be more expensive one thousand in Ranthambore. New Safari rates will be effective from Friday, June 23, 2017. This decision has been taken due to the increasing demand of Jeep safari in tourists.
