Frequently asked questions.
Rajaji is open from mid-November to mid-June. The winter is comfortable and green; the hot months concentrate elephants and other wildlife around water. Different ranges open at different times, which we plan around.
The quieter ranges reward those after leopards and hornbills.
Always private — your own jeep, driver and naturalist. Rajaji is far quieter than Corbett next door, so the forest often feels like your own.
Leopards — especially in the Mohand range — big elephant herds, tigers (elusive here), and excellent birdlife including the great Indian hornbill. Sightings depend on the range, season and day.
Your Rajaji,planned properly.
No commitment — just a conversation about dates, group, and the kind of trip you want.
