Exciting news for wildlife lovers, Rajaji National Park is restarting its famous Elephant Safari from November 15, 2025, after being closed for seven years. This is your golden chance to book an unforgettable adventure and see the wild up close from the back of a gentle giant.
Why Elephant Safari?
Riding an elephant offers a calm, unique way to explore the park. Unlike noisy vehicles, elephants move quietly, letting you see animals in their natural home without scaring them away. Get close to deer, wild boar, peacocks, birds, and maybe spot a tiger or leopard—all in a safe, eco-friendly manner.
