Choose Your Window

Morning or Evening Safari?

Both departures offer a way into the forest. The better fit depends on your energy, transfer plan, season and preference for light.

Morning safari

An early start usually brings cooler air, softer light and a comfortable rhythm for families, birders and first-time visitors.

  • Best fit for cooler forest travel
  • Leaves more of the day for onward plans
  • Keep warm layers ready in winter

Evening safari

An afternoon departure can suit same-day arrivals or a slower morning, with conditions shaped more strongly by the season and weather.

  • Useful when your morning is occupied
  • Works well with a relaxed arrival day
  • Confirm the changing afternoon slot live

How the Cost Adds Up

Simple planning formula
Visitor entry fees
+ vehicle entry fee
+ gypsy rent
+ optional guide / activities

For example, one Indian adult using one vehicle gives a reference subtotal of ₹150 + ₹250 + ₹2,400 = ₹2,800, before optional additions. A group shares the vehicle costs, while visitor fees follow the applicable person category.

Before you make a payment

  • Request the final total for your date, gate, zone and group size.
  • Ask which entry fee, vehicle fee, gypsy rent and optional services are included.
  • Check whether cash, UPI or card is currently accepted at your gate; do not assume every method is available.
  • Keep a written confirmation of the slot, visitor names, vehicle arrangement and payment terms.
  • Carry valid photo ID and any age or student documentation needed at entry.
Availability, route access, weather, Forest Department instructions and special-activity permissions can change the final plan. Confirm everything live before sending payment.

A quick reference for planning your departure and asking for a current quote.

Rajaji operates separate morning and evening entry windows that shift through the open season. Use the seasonal guide on this page for planning, then confirm the live slot for your chosen gate, date and zone before travelling.

The indicative reference figures are ₹150 per Indian visitor, ₹250 Indian vehicle entry and ₹2,400 for gypsy rent per vehicle. That gives a simple one-person planning subtotal of ₹2,800 before any optional guide, camera or special-activity charge.

The reference figures show children up to 12 years as free, while student and senior citizen entry is shown as ₹75 per person. Eligibility and documentation should be confirmed with the current booking or gate team.

Guide support is optional in the figures shown here and no fixed current guide rate is included. Ask for the applicable rate and availability when you request your safari quote.

Camera, elephant safari, canter and other special-activity charges can change by zone and operating rules. Confirm any such charge live before payment, especially when photography or a particular activity is important to your plan.

Confirm the date, gate, zone, entry window, visitor categories, vehicle arrangement, guide choice, final total and payment terms in writing. Carry the same valid identity documents used for the booking when you arrive.
