Introduction: The Hidden Gem of the Shivaliks
Nestled in the foothills of the Shivalik Range of the Himalayas, Rajaji National Park is one of Uttarakhand’s most accessible yet underrated wildlife destinations. Spread across approximately 820 square kilometres (core area), with a total area of 1,075 square kilometres including buffer zones, this magnificent tiger reserve straddles the three districts of Haridwar, Dehradun, and Pauri Garhwal. The park lies at the meeting point of the Himalayan foothills and the Indo-Gangetic plains, creating a unique ecological transition zone that supports an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna.
Named after C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji)—a prominent freedom fighter, the last Governor-General of independent India, and one of the first recipients of the Bharat Ratna—the park was established in 1983 by merging three existing wildlife sanctuaries: Rajaji Sanctuary, Motichur Sanctuary, and the Chilla Range of the Pauri Forest Division. In 2015, the park was declared a Tiger Reserve, becoming the second tiger reserve in Uttarakhand after Corbett.
Today, Rajaji is renowned for its large population of Asian elephants, earning it the nickname the “Elephant Kingdom” of Uttarakhand. It is also home to Bengal tigers, leopards, Himalayan black bears, sloth bears, goral, and over 315 species of birds. Unlike the more commercialised Jim Corbett National Park, Rajaji offers a less crowded, more peaceful safari experience, making it perfect for families, first-time wildlife enthusiasts, and those seeking a quick nature escape from the nearby spiritual hubs of Rishikesh and Haridwar.
Whether you are a wildlife photographer hoping to capture elephants in their natural habitat, a birdwatcher chasing rare species like the Great Pied Hornbill, or simply a traveller wanting to combine spiritual solace in Rishikesh with the thrill of a jungle safari, Rajaji National Park promises an unforgettable Himalayan foothills adventure.
Key Information at a Glance:
History: From Sanctuaries to Tiger Reserve
The Three Founding Sanctuaries
Rajaji National Park was created on 12 August 1983 by the amalgamation of three wildlife sanctuaries: Rajaji Sanctuary (created in 1948), Motichur Sanctuary (created in 1936), and the Chilla Range of the Pauri Forest Division . Each of these units had its own unique conservation history, and their merger created a continuous protected landscape of over 820 square kilometres.
The Rajaji Connection
The park is named after C. Rajagopalachari, who served as the first Indian Governor-General of independent India. According to local lore, when the newly appointed Governor-General was invited for a hunt, he was so impressed by the biological diversity and plethora of wild animals in the area that, instead of hunting, he suggested the creation of a wildlife sanctuary. This suggestion led to the establishment of the original Rajaji Sanctuary in 1948, which later became the nucleus of the national park.
Tiger Reserve Status (2015)
A significant milestone in the park’s conservation history came in April 2015, when Rajaji was officially declared a Tiger Reserve under the Wildlife Protection Act. The notification made Rajaji the second tiger reserve in Uttarakhand after the Corbett Tiger Reserve, and the 48th tiger reserve in India.
The tiger reserve includes:
- Core Area: The existing national park (~820 sq km)
- Buffer Area: Approximately 300 sq km, including parts of the Shyampur range of the Haridwar forest division and parts of the Kotdwar and Laldhang forest divisions
This designation brought additional protection, funding, and management focus to the park, strengthening conservation efforts for the region’s tiger population.
Shivalik Biodiversity Hotspot
The park is often described as a “veritable storehouse of Shivalik biodiversity and ecosystems”. It protects a representative sample of the Shivalik Hill ecosystem, which is characterised by a unique combination of sal forests, riverine vegetation, grasslands, and Chir-pine forests on the higher reaches.

Location
Rajaji National Park is strategically located at the foothills of the Shivalik Range, spanning three districts of Uttarakhand: Haridwar, Dehradun, and Pauri Garhwal. The park extends from the Dehradun-Saharanpur road in the north-west to the Rawasan River in the south-east, with the River Ganga dividing it into two distinct parts.
Division by the Ganges
The River Ganga flows through the park, splitting it into two sections:
Shivalik Formations
The park showcases classic Shivalik geological formations, including:
- Ravines and ridges
