Official and fully updated Rajaji National Park safari charges for the 2025–26 season. Entry fees, jeep safari (Gypsy) rates, camera permits, elephant safari charges and all additional fees — for Indian tourists and foreign nationals — in one complete page.
The total cost of a safari is made up of multiple components — here is exactly how it is calculated
Charged per person. Every visitor — including children above 5 — pays an individual entry fee regardless of whether they do a jeep safari or not. This is the park's conservation charge.
Charged per vehicle, not per person. The Gypsy holds max 6 visitors. Whether you are 1 person or 6, the vehicle charge is the same — which is why groups save significantly.
Charged per device. DSLR/mirrorless cameras need a separate camera permit. Mobile phones do not need a permit. Video cameras have a higher permit charge.
A certified naturalist guide is mandatory for all safaris. The guide fee is typically included in the Gypsy safari charge — no separate payment required at the gate.
Simple Formula: Total Safari Cost = (Entry Fee × No. of Persons) + Gypsy Safari Fee + Camera Permit (if applicable). The interactive calculator below calculates this automatically for your group.
Charges vary by nationality and visitor type — find your category below
Children occupy a seat in the Gypsy and count toward the 6-person capacity limit.
ID proof required for all visitors including children. Passport copy for foreign children.

The bigger the group sharing one Gypsy, the lower the per-person cost. Here is the full breakdown for 1 safari (morning or evening):
Maximum Savings Tip: A group of 6 Indians sharing one Gypsy pays only ₹567 per person for a 3.5-hour wildlife safari including entry + vehicle + guide. This is less than the cost of most city cinema tickets — making Rajaji one of India's best-value wildlife experiences.
Rajaji National Park allows photography and videography inside the core zone subject to permit. The camera permit is charged separately from the entry fee and safari charge, and must be declared and paid at the gate before entry. Here is the complete breakdown:
Camera Permit Rules: (1) Permit must be bought before entering the gate — it cannot be purchased inside the park. (2) Each camera device requires a separate permit. (3) Flash photography is strictly prohibited regardless of permit type. (4) The permit is per safari — if you do both morning and evening safari, two separate permits are required for the same camera.
Wildlife Photography Tip: The ₹200 DSLR permit for a 3.5-hour safari in a forest with Bengal tigers, Asian elephants and 315+ bird species is extraordinary value. Bring a telephoto lens of at least 200mm. Morning safari gives the best natural light for photography — golden, directional, and stunning.

Rajaji Value Verdict: At ₹567 per person for a 3.5-hour jeep safari in a 820 sq. km tiger reserve — with 500+ wild elephants, Bengal tigers, leopards and 315+ bird species — Rajaji National Park offers the best safari value proposition in North India. It is also the most accessible tiger reserve from Delhi (250 km) and Haridwar (15 km), making the total trip cost significantly lower than Ranthambore or Bandhavgarh.
