Rajaji National Park, located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, is a significant ecological hotspot renowned for its population of Asian elephants, Bengal tigers, and leopards. Encompassing diverse ecosystems like Sal forests and moist deciduous areas, the park features the holy Ganges River flowing through it. Established in 1983 by merging several wildlife sanctuaries, it was declared a Tiger Reserve in 2015. Visitors can enjoy jungle safaris and birdwatching in the park's designated zones, with the best time to visit being from November to June for animal sightings.
Best time to visit Rajaji National Park
Rajaji is generally open from November to June and closes through the monsoon. Different zones have their own access patterns, so timing is worth confirming for the specific area you want to visit.
What makes Rajaji different
Rajaji is best known for its Asian elephant population, which is among the more significant in northern India. Its position at the western end of the Terai arc landscape also makes it important for connecting wildlife populations across the region, and the elevation range from riverine grassland up into Shivalik ridges gives it a broader species list than its size suggests.
Visiting Rajaji with Junglore
Rajaji sits close to Haridwar and Rishikesh, which makes it one of the more accessible protected areas in northern India, and it pairs naturally with Jim Corbett on a wider Uttarakhand itinerary. Junglore can arrange guided visits as part of that.
