Rajaji National Park Entry Fee 2026 (Official, Zone-wise)

The Forest Department charges the Rajaji National Park entry fee per person and the vehicle fee once per jeep. Here is the current tariff by zone. For most Haridwar and Dehradun-side zones the numbers are identical.

ZoneEntry (Indian/SAARC)Entry (Foreign)Vehicle (Indian)Vehicle (Foreign)
Chila₹150₹600₹250₹500
Motichur₹150₹600₹250₹500
Haridwar₹150₹600₹250₹500
Chillawali (Mohand)₹150₹600₹250₹500
Ramgarh₹150₹600₹250₹500
Chaurashi Kutia (Beatles Ashram)₹200₹1,200––

Good to know: the vehicle fee is paid once per jeep, not per person. GST applies by amount (nil below ₹1,000), so the entry fee carries none.

What is included, and what is not

  • Not included: the official entry fee, the vehicle fee, commercial video permits, meals and hotel pickup outside the agreed point.

Rajaji Jeep Safari Cost for Your Group

Since the jeep is priced per vehicle, a full group pays far less per head. Here are the sums for Indian visitors with a guide.

Smart Ways to Save on Your Safari

  • Fill the jeep. Six people sharing one gypsy bring the cost per head down sharply.
  • Travelling solo or as a couple? A shared seat at ₹950 avoids paying for a whole jeep.
  • Pick a weekday. Availability is easier and plans are less rushed.
  • Book early in winter. Chilla fills up fast between November and February.

Rajaji National Park Safari Price: Frequently Asked Questions

The Forest Department tariff lists an entry fee of ₹150 per person for Indian/SAARC visitors and ₹600 per person for foreigners. A vehicle fee of ₹250 (Indian) or ₹500 (foreign) is added once per jeep. Chaurashi Kutia (Beatles Ashram) has its own ticket of ₹200 / ₹1,200 with no vehicle fee.

With us, a private jeep for up to 6 guests is ₹3,000 and the naturalist guide is ₹1,000. Add the official entry and vehicle fees. For six Indian adults the all-in cost is about ₹5,150, or roughly ₹858 per person.

A shared jeep seat with us is ₹950 per person, plus the official entry fee of ₹150 for Indians. A full private jeep of six Indian adults works out to about ₹858 per person including guide, entry and vehicle fee.

Almost. Chila, Motichur, Haridwar, Chillawali and Ramgarh all charge ₹150 / ₹600 entry and ₹250 / ₹500 for the vehicle. Only Chaurashi Kutia is different, at ₹200 / ₹1,200 with no vehicle fee.

Foreign visitors pay ₹600 per person as entry and ₹500 once per vehicle. With our private jeep and guide, six foreign guests pay about ₹8,100 in total.

Yes. Every jeep we book goes with a local naturalist guide, priced at ₹1,000 per safari. A good guide spots the animals and birds you would otherwise drive past, so we do not recommend skipping one.

One open gypsy carries up to 6 guests plus the driver. A group of 7 or more needs two jeeps, and each jeep is priced separately.

There are two shifts a day, and the gate entry window shifts with the season. From 15 November to 15 February the morning window is 6:30 to 8:00 AM and the afternoon window is 1:30 to 3:00 PM. Spring and summer windows start earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon. See the timing table on this page.

The main zones open on 15 November and run until about 15 June. Jhilmil Jheel usually stays open until 30 June. The forest is closed to vehicles during the monsoon, so always check the latest notice on the Forest Department portal.

Still cameras and non-commercial movie cameras carry no fee. A commercial video camera costs ₹500 for Indians and ₹1,500 for foreigners. Documentary filming is charged ₹10,000 (Indian) or ₹30,000 (foreign) per day.

The official tariff lists entry per person and does not show a separate child rate. Because concessions can change, tell us the ages of your children when you enquire and we will confirm the exact amount before you pay.

Carry a valid government photo ID for every adult, such as Aadhaar, driving licence or voter ID. Foreign nationals must carry their passport. The name on the ID should match the name on the permit.

Walk-in permits depend on what is left that day. Chilla and the other Haridwar-side gates sell out on winter weekends, so booking ahead is the safer plan.

For November to February and for weekends or holidays, book 2 to 3 weeks ahead. In March to June you can often manage with a few days' notice.

Chilla is the most popular zone, with a 36 km track and a good mix of forest, river bed and grassland. Jhilmil Jheel is the pick for swamp deer, and Ranipur and Motichur suit leopards and birdlife.

No. Private vehicles are not allowed in the safari zones. You travel in an authorised open gypsy that is booked in advance or hired at the gate.

Tigers live in Rajaji Tiger Reserve, but sightings are a bonus and never guaranteed. Elephants, spotted deer, sambar, peacocks and many birds are seen far more often, especially on winter mornings.

Chaurashi Kutia, the Beatles Ashram, is listed at ₹200 for Indian/SAARC visitors and ₹1,200 for foreigners, with no vehicle fee.

The tariff lists the Ramganga conducted tour at ₹1,000 plus GST per Indian visitor and ₹2,000 plus GST per foreign visitor.

The tariff applies GST by amount: nil below ₹1,000, 12% from ₹1,000 to ₹2,499, 18% from ₹2,500 to ₹7,499 and 22% from ₹7,500. Entry fees under ₹1,000 therefore carry no GST.

Cancel at least 7 days before the safari for a full refund. Cancel at least 3 days before for a 50% refund. After that there is no refund.

Entry, vehicle and camera fees come from the Uttarakhand Forest Department tariff. The jeep and guide charges are our own service rates. Fees can change at the start of a season, so we confirm the final amount on WhatsApp before you pay.
