A wildlife safari in Rajaji National Park is one of the easiest ways to step into a real Himalayan foothill forest from a busy pilgrim city. The park sits just 8 km from Haridwar and about 20 km from Rishikesh, yet inside the gate you find Sal forest, dry riverbeds, grasslands and the Ganga corridor, home to Asian elephants, Bengal tigers, leopards and hundreds of bird species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajaji National Park covers 820 sq km in Uttarakhand and was declared India’s 48th Tiger Reserve in 2015. It shelters 500+ elephants, 50+ tigers, 250+ leopards and 315+ bird species. With six safari zones, different vehicle options and a recently revived elephant safari, choosing the right experience can feel confusing for first-time visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains every type of wildlife safari in Rajaji National Park, what the Rajaji National Park safari experience feels like from gate to return, how a jeep safari vs elephant safari compares, and how to choose the best option for your group, budget and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
