After a five-month monsoon closure, Rajaji National Park is all set to welcome tourists again from November 15, 2026 offering wildlife enthusiasts an opportunity to explore its rich biodiversity through jungle and elephant safaris.
The park administration has completed the necessary preparations to resume tourism activities across the Motichur, Chilla, Ranipur and Chilawali ranges of the Rajaji Tiger Reserve. These ranges were closed to visitors on June 15 as part of the annual monsoon shutdown.
During the previous tourism season, the park administration generated revenue of ₹1.28 crore from the four ranges, registering an increase of ₹5 lakh compared to the previous year. A total of 50,309 tourists visited the park for jungle safaris, including 47,881 domestic visitors and 2,428 international tourists.
Among the four ranges, Chilla features the longest jungle safari route, stretching approximately 30 kilometres. Safari tracks in the other ranges range between 15 and 20 kilometres.
In preparation for the upcoming tourist season, the park administration has also developed several new water bodies near safari routes. These water sources are expected to enhance wildlife-viewing opportunities, allowing visitors to observe animals gathering to drink water.
With the reopening scheduled for November 15, Rajaji National Park is expected to attract wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers once again, offering an exciting opportunity to experience its diverse wildlife and natural surroundings.
