Then, Bookmark Jogi Mahal Resort in Ranthambore a recently constructed boutique luxury resort spread across a 3.74-acre area is the right destination for you!

The resort can make the safari experience seamless for you, if booked in advance. However, whether you get to see the tiger or not, depends on your luck.

It is the only temple in the entire world which houses the entire family of Lord Ganesha while his statue consists of three eyes.
