How to reach Ranthambore By Air

Ranthambore is located near Sawai Madhopur, in southeastern Rajasthan, and can be reached by air through several airports depending on your itinerary.

Kota Airport (KTU) – Kota is geographically closer to Ranthambore, at around 145 km, but its commercial flight connectivity is limited, so it is not usually the first choice for air travellers. Rajasthan Tourism
Udaipur International Airport (UDR) – A practical option for travellers combining Ranthambore with destinations such as Udaipur, although it involves a considerably longer road journey to Ranthambore. Rajasthan Tourism lists Udaipur’s Maharana Pratap Airport as one of the state’s major airports. Rajasthan Tourism
Jodhpur Airport (JDH) – Another option for travellers combining Ranthambore with western Rajasthan destinations such as Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, though the road journey to Ranthambore is substantially longer than from Jaipur.
