We were at Chilla range of Rajaji which is a beautifully maintained habitat for the wild life. There is a vast variety of birds; It's famous for we were not lucky to spot a single leopard or a tiger; elephants could be spotted at a great distance. There were ample dotted deer and sambar deer. The saving grace for us... More

We stayed in Chilla GMVN guest house for 2 days in July 2012 and our stay and trip was excellent. First time we went for a jungle Safari and it was ulitmate. Very less crowd and we are lucky to see a Leopard. We saw a group of Elephants standing next to the path and one among them started chasing... More

During our Haridwar trip, we visited this place from Chilla Gate (around 9 km from Haridwar). We had visited on 18th November, 2012 evening. We was late for the trip, reach there by 3.20 pm so return back from Jeep safari early in 2 hrs. We had seen deer only. It takes around 3 to 3.5 hrs to make a... More

This was the second visit to Rajaji - the poor cousin if I can say of Corbett National Park. One of the best ways to explore the park is to stay in some of the forest rest houses - which are decades if not more than a hundred years old. The first time I stayed was the Chilla rest house... More

It's a great good place to visit for wildlife lovers, the main attraction about this park is wild Elephants, secondly this park is not flooded by tourists very few visitors are there and a person can see large number of wild animals, I had visited many centuries but this is different cool and calm real forest. In evening you will... More

Now, when you go to a 'national' park; not a state one, you expect to see a lot of fauna, not a few deer and buffaloes. Especially when you are vaguely promised about the presence of more exotic species. The ride in an open jeep through the park, however is a fun thing to do for city folk, but thats... More

I am very excited to report we did see wild elephants! We went out on a day safari, through a wonderful tour organization run out of Haridwar called Mohan's Adventure. We were fortunate as the managing director, Sanjeev Mehta, also a professional photographer and author, gave us a personalized and private tour. A protective young elephant mother even chased our...

I finally got an opportunity to go for my first Jungle Safari ever when my in-laws planned for a small trip to Rajaji National Park. Nestled in the sacred city of Haridwar in Uttaranchal Rajaji is where we got to enjoy nature in its sheer raw form. We headed for a quick escape and were thrilled with the first very... More

Rajaji National Park is one of those lesser visited places in India that not many people know about. It is very close to Haridwar and is better known for its elephants. When we went there, it was Day 1 of that year's season, and there were very few people in that area. For us, that was good, and it turned... More
