Quick Answer: Entry to Rajaji National Park costs ₹150 per Indian adult and ₹600 per foreign adult. A Gypsy (jeep) safari needs a separate vehicle permit of ₹250 (Indian) / ₹500 (foreign), plus a gate-negotiated jeep hire charge of roughly ₹600–₹1,000, and a naturalist guide fee of ₹600–₹1,500. All charges are per person for entry and per vehicle (max 6 seats) for the Gypsy, so the more people you share a jeep with, the lower your per-person cost.

How Is the Rajaji Safari Cost Calculated?

The total cost of your Rajaji National Park visit is made up of four separate charges — here's exactly how each one works:

1. Entry Fee

Charged per person. Every visitor pays this individually, whether or not they take a jeep safari. This is the park's conservation charge — ₹150 (Indian) / ₹600 (foreign) per adult.

2. Gypsy Permit + Jeep Fare

Charged per vehicle, not per person. The Gypsy permit is ₹250 (Indian) / ₹500 (foreign), and the actual jeep hire fare (₹600–₹1,000) is paid separately to the jeep owner and varies by gate.

3. Guide Fee

A naturalist guide is mandatory for every safari. Charges range from ₹600 for a general guide to ₹1,500 for an experienced wildlife expert guide.

4. Camera Permit

Charged per device, only if you carry a still or video camera. Still cameras are free for Indians; video cameras need a paid permit for both Indian and foreign visitors.

Formula: Total Cost = (Entry Fee × Persons) + Gypsy Permit + Jeep Fare + Guide Fee + Camera Permit (if any)

Elephant Safari in Rajaji National Park

Alongside the jeep (Gypsy) safari, Rajaji National Park also offers an elephant safari on a seasonal basis, mainly in the Chilla zone. Riding atop a trained elephant lets you get closer to dense undergrowth and river patches where jeeps cannot go, and is a popular choice for families and photographers.

Available seasonally, subject to forest department schedule and elephant availability
Charged per person, unlike the jeep safari which is charged per vehicle
Slots are limited — confirm current availability and pricing at the time of booking

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total cost of a Rajaji National Park jeep safari?

For Indian tourists, the total cost has three parts: park entry fee (₹150 per adult), Gypsy permit fee (₹250 per vehicle) and the jeep hire charge paid at the gate (₹600 to ₹1,000 per vehicle), plus a guide fee (₹600 to ₹1,500). For a group of 6 Indians sharing one Gypsy, this typically works out to roughly ₹350–₹450 per person.

Is the Rajaji safari charge per person or per vehicle?

Both. The park entry fee is charged per person, while the Gypsy permit fee and jeep hire charge are charged per vehicle (up to 6 seats), so sharing a jeep with a larger group lowers your per-person cost.

Does the jeep safari price vary by gate or zone?

The government entry fee and Gypsy permit are fixed, but the jeep hire charge itself is negotiated with individual jeep owners at each gate and typically ranges from ₹600 to ₹1,000 for Indian visitors — always confirm the exact fare before your safari.

Do I need a separate camera permit for my DSLR?

Still cameras are free for Indian visitors and cost around ₹50 for foreign visitors. Video cameras need a separate permit costing around ₹3,000 for Indians and ₹5,000 for foreigners. Mobile phone cameras generally do not need a permit.

Is elephant safari available at Rajaji National Park?

Yes, elephant safari is offered seasonally, mainly in the Chilla zone. Charges and availability depend on the season, so confirm current elephant safari slots and pricing at the time of booking.
