All safari timings are set by the Uttarakhand Forest Department and vary slightly by season
Note: Safari timings are set by the Forest Department and may change without advance notice. Always confirm exact timings when you receive your permit, or call the booking office 1 day before your safari date. Timings shown above are indicative for 2026 season.
Best strategy: If you have 2 days, do a morning safari in Chilla zone and an evening safari in Motichur zone for maximum wildlife variety.
Complete and updated fee structure — all charges set by the Uttarakhand Forest Department
Group Saving Tip: Jeep safari charges are per vehicle, not per person. A group of 6 Indians sharing one Gypsy pays only ₹417 per person for the entire 3.5-hour safari — exceptional value. Always fill the jeep to 6 for maximum savings.

Follow these Forest Department rules to ensure a safe, enjoyable and responsible safari experience
No Getting Off the Jeep — Visitors must remain seated in the Gypsy at all times during the safari. Getting off or standing is strictly prohibited in the core zone.
Silence is Golden — Loud talking, music, clapping or unnecessary noise disturbs wildlife. Maintain silence especially when an animal is spotted nearby.
No Smoking or Alcohol — Smoking, chewing tobacco and carrying alcohol into the park is strictly prohibited and can result in permit cancellation.
No Littering — Carry a bag for your waste. Throwing food, wrappers or any material inside the park is illegal and invites heavy fines.
Phone Flash Off — Mobile phone flash photography is not allowed. It disturbs animals. Use a DSLR with appropriate lens if you have a camera permit.
Be Punctual — Arrive at the gate at least 20 minutes before your safari time. Late arrivals may forfeit their slot without refund.
Wear Neutral Colours — Avoid bright red, white or neon clothing. Wear earthy greens, browns and khakis to blend in and avoid startling wildlife.
Carry Original ID Proof — Original government-issued ID matching your permit is mandatory at the entry gate. Photocopies or digital IDs may not be accepted.
Respect Wildlife Distance — Do not encourage the driver to approach animals too closely. The guide will maintain a safe distance for both your safety and the animal's comfort.
Do Not Collect Anything — Picking flowers, leaves, stones or any natural material from inside the park is strictly illegal under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
Violation Penalty: Violation of Forest Department rules inside Rajaji National Park can result in immediate expulsion, cancellation of permit without refund, and legal action under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and the Indian Forest Act. Always follow your naturalist guide's instructions.
