Cancellation And Refund Policy (2026)

Ranthambore safari permits booked through the official Rajasthan Forest Department portal are generally non-refundable and non-transferable once payment is confirmed.

Standard advance booking

• Full payment required at time of booking
• No refund for cancellation or no-show
• Permit is linked to your ID — cannot be transferred to another person
• If the park closes unexpectedly (rare), the department may reschedule — not refund

Tatkal (emergency) quota

• Opens 7 days before safari date
• Premium pricing (significantly higher than advance rates)
• Refund only if booking is not confirmed by the system

Practical advice

• Purchase travel insurance that covers safari cancellation for peak-season trips booked months ahead
• Double-check dates, ID details, and vehicle type before payment
• Screenshot your confirmation voucher and carry a printed copy

Always verify current terms on booking.forestrajasthan.com at the time of booking — policies are subject to forest department updates.
