You leave Jaipur before dawn, the city’s sandstone glow sliding behind as scrubland and farms take over. The road to Sawai Madhopur is a slow reveal—dusty roadside villages, acacia silhouettes and isolated granite outcrops—until the gate of Ranthambore National Park opens and the landscape tightens into dry deciduous forest.
