RAJAJI JUNGLE SAFARI TOUR
Wild Asian Elephants, elusive leopards, and majestic tigers in the dramatic Shivalik foothills of the Himalayas.
Where the Shivaliks Meet the Holy Ganges
Rajaji National Park and Tiger Reserve spans three districts of Uttarakhand—Haridwar, Dehradun, and Pauri Garhwal. Encompassing the beginning of the vast Indo-Gangetic plains and the rugged Shivalik mountain ranges, the park represents the northwestern limits of both Asian Elephants and Royal Bengal Tigers in India.
Riverine forests of sal, teak, and river washes create breathtaking mountain backgrounds for safari photography. The reserve is renowned for its large herds of wild elephants roaming across the Ganges riverbeds, leopards resting in rock ravines, and thriving tiger populations.
