Rajaji Tiger Reserve Jeep Safari

Elephant Safari begins again in Rajaji Tiger Reserve and Corbett Tiger Reserve after 8 years gap. For the moment only elephants at Rajaji are dedicated for the elephant Safari.
Uttarakhand's Chief Wildlife Warden Ranjan Kumar Mishra said after the legal complications were resolved, a proposal was placed before the Uttarakhand Wildlife Advisory Council to resume elephant safaris, which was approved by the council's ex-officio Chairman, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, and ex-officio Vice-Chairman, Forest Minister Subodh Uniyal.
Mr. Mishra said after receiving the requisite clearances, elephant safaris have been resumed in both the National Parks.
The Chief Wildlife Warden said, "Elephant safaris play a vital role in connecting the younger generation with wildlife and forest conservation. Through elephant safaris, they will be able to see parts of the forest that are inaccessible to [vehicles]."
This initiative will further deepen the love for forests and wildlife among the youth, ultimately contributing to the conservation of forests and wildlife habitats, he added.

Sharing some mobile clicks from the Jeep safari tour with our guests from US to Chilla Range of Rajaji Tiger Reserve near Haridwar.

Two, five / six tonne bull elephants lock tusks in battle for herd dominance in Shyampur Range of Haridwar Forest Division, just outside of Rajaji Tiger Reserve.
The bull elephants fight starts slowly, sizing one another up like a pair of prize Sumo Wrestlers.
Skull-cracking conflict sees them slam into one another in display of raw power.
Although their tusks are more often used to help with day to day feeding by pulling bark from trees or digging up roots under ground. The tusk can also be used as fearsome weapon when elephants fight.
Elephant Battles, like between these mighty brutes can range from a mild-mannered tussle testing one's strength, to a full-scale struggle to the death.
