Rajaji National Park

Rajaji National Park spreads across three districts of Uttaranchal- Haridwar, Dehradun and Pauri Garhwal, is lying in a 820 sq km swathe across the Shivaliks, near the feet of the Himalayas. In 1983, the three wildlife sanctuaries of Rajaji, Motichur and Chilla merged into one sprawling park land of three districts of Uttaranchal: Haridwar , Dehradun and Pauri Garwhal. The three different protected areas named one Rajaji National Park.

The dense green jungles of Rajaji National Park are an attractive array of creature- docile and wild 23 species mammals- including Leopards, Tigers, Elephant, Deer, Jungle Cat, Boar and sloth Bear and 315 species of birds are found like pea fowl, woodpeckers, pheasants, kingfishers and barbets, supplemented by a number of migratory species during the winter months in Rajaji national park. Besides that, the rivers which flow through the park harbour fish such as trout and mahseer.

Rajaji National Park is a single contiguous park consisting of several distinct vegetation zones. These include broadleaved deciduous forests, riverine vegetation, grasslands, and pine forests in the upper reaches. Rajaji's history of conservation has been rather rocky in the recent past. The park's been besieged by a host of problems, ranging from soil erosion to poaching. Despite all these issues, Rajaji continues to be one of northern India's major wildlife reserves- and one of the best places to see the fauna and flora of the terai.
