A Rajaji jungle safari has three parts: an entry fee of ₹150 per Indian adult (₹600 for foreign nationals), a jeep (jeep) safari charge of ₹2,500 per vehicle for Indians and ₹4,500 for foreigners, and an optional camera permit if you're carrying a DSLR or video camera. Since the jeep seats up to six people, sharing brings the per-person cost down sharply.

Rajaji Safari Charges
How Rajaji's Fee Structure Actually Works
Every Rajaji jungle safari is built from a small set of fixed charges set by the Uttarakhand Forest Department: a per-person entry fee, a per-vehicle jeep safari charge, and an optional camera permit if you're carrying a DSLR or video camera. Rates are split into Indian and foreign-national slabs, and because the entry fee is charged per person while the jeep fee is charged per vehicle, the group size you travel with has a big effect on what you end up paying per head.
- Charges are fixed by the Forest Department and reviewed each season
- Entry fee is per person; jeep safari fee is per vehicle (up to 6 seats)
- We confirm the exact, current charges when your safari is booked

Entry Fee Details
What the Rajaji Entry Fee Covers
The entry fee is Rajaji's core conservation charge, collected from every visitor who steps inside the park boundary — whether they're on a jeep safari, an elephant safari, or simply accompanying a group. It's charged per person, not per vehicle, and is separate from the jeep hire cost.
- ₹150 per Indian adult, ₹600 per foreign adult
- Valid ID proof is required for every visitor at the gate
- Charged once per shift — a second safari on the same day means a second entry fee
Children's Charges
How Rajaji Prices Safaris for Children
Children get a discounted entry rate, but they still occupy a seat that counts toward the jeep's six-person limit — so a family of two adults and two children needs the same single vehicle as four adults.
- Age 5–12: ₹75 (Indian) or ₹300 (foreign) entry fee
- Below 5 years: entry is completely free
- No separate child rate on the jeep safari charge itself
Jeep Safari Charges
jeep Safari Price in Every Rajaji Zone
The ₹2,500 / ₹4,500 jeep safari charge is the same flat, per-vehicle rate across all five gates — the difference between zones is in the experience, not the price.
Ranipur Jeep Safari Cost
Ranipur Zone
Identical charges to the other gates, with a quieter, less-crowded booking counter for a more relaxed start.
Jhilmil Jeep Safari Cost
Jhilmil Zone
Same fee structure, with a wetland-bird focus that keeps its season running slightly later than the other four zones.
Chilla Jeep Safari Cost
Chilla Zone
Standard ₹2,500 (Indian) / ₹4,500 (foreign) jeep charge, plus entry fee per head. Rajaji's busiest and most popular gate for tiger and elephant sightings.
Motichur Jeep Safari Cost
Motichur Zone
Same standard jeep and entry fee structure as Chilla, with generally lighter gate queues at booking time.
Mohand Jeep Safari Cost
Mohand Zone
The same fee structure applies, making this the most convenient priced gate for Dehradun-based travellers.
Zone-to-zone charges rarely differ — what changes is jeep availability and demand. Check gate timings for each zone →
Camera Charges
Photography & Camera Permit Fees
Mobile Phones
Photography and video with a mobile phone is free — no permit required for standard phone cameras.
Still Camera (DSLR/Mirrorless)
₹200 per camera for Indian visitors, ₹500 for foreign visitors — bought at the gate before entry, valid for one shift only.
Video Camera
₹500 per device for Indian visitors, ₹1,000 for foreign visitors, for personal (non-commercial) filming during your safari.
Each device needs its own permit, and a permit covers one shift — doing both a morning and an evening safari with the same camera means paying the fee twice.
Foreign Tourist Charges
What Foreign Nationals Pay
What Foreign Nationals Pay
at Rajaji National Park
Entry Fee: ₹600 / Adult
Four times the Indian entry rate, charged per person, with a passport or valid photo ID checked at the gate counter.
Jeep Safari: ₹4,500 / jeep
Still a per-vehicle charge for up to six people, so a full group of foreign travellers keeps the per-head cost reasonable.
Camera Permits: ₹500–₹1,000
Higher still-camera and video-camera permit rates apply, payable in Indian Rupees at the gate.
A group of six foreign adults sharing one jeep pays roughly ₹1,350 per person for entry plus the safari — still well below most international wildlife-park rates.

How It's Calculated
The Simple Formula Behind Every Safari Bill
Every Rajaji safari bill breaks down into the same three components, added together: Total Cost = (Entry Fee × Number of Persons) + jeep Safari Charge + Camera Permit (if applicable). The entry fee scales with your group size, the jeep charge is a flat per-vehicle fee regardless of how many of the six seats you fill, and the camera permit is optional and charged per device. The calculator above runs this exact formula for you automatically.
- Step 1 — Multiply the entry fee by every adult and child in your group
- Step 2 — Add one jeep safari charge for every 6 people (or fraction thereof)
- Step 3 — Add camera permit fees for any DSLR or video camera you're carrying
Example Cost Calculations
Real Group-Size Examples (Indian Tourists)
A worked example for a single jeep, using the ₹150 entry fee and ₹2,500 jeep charge — the more people you share with, the lower your per-person cost.
| Group Size | Entry Fee Total | jeep Charge | Total Cost | Per Person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Adult | ₹150 | ₹2,500 | ₹2,650 | ₹2,650 |
| 2 Adults | ₹300 | ₹2,500 | ₹2,800 | ₹1,400 |
| 3 Adults | ₹450 | ₹2,500 | ₹2,950 | ₹983 |
| 4 Adults | ₹600 | ₹2,500 | ₹3,100 | ₹775 |
| 5 Adults | ₹750 | ₹2,500 | ₹3,250 | ₹650 |
| 6 Adults (Full jeep) | ₹900 | ₹2,500 | ₹3,400 | ₹567 |
For foreign tourists, the same math applies at ₹600 entry and ₹4,500 per jeep — six adults sharing one vehicle works out to roughly ₹1,350 per person.
Why Charges Change
What Actually Moves Rajaji's
What Actually Moves Rajaji's
Safari Fees Year to Year
Forest Department Revisions
Charges are notified by the Uttarakhand Forest Department and reviewed periodically to reflect conservation funding needs.
Fuel & Vehicle Costs
jeep hire charges factor in fuel, maintenance and driver costs, which can shift the per-vehicle rate over time.
Seasonal Demand
While base charges stay fixed, availability tightens sharply in peak winter months — book early to avoid last-minute vehicle shortages.
Any revision is publicly notified by the Forest Department — we track these notices and always confirm the live, current charge before your booking is finalised.
Important Notes
Charges Rules Every Visitor Should Know
- Camera permits must be bought before entering the gate — not inside the park.
- The jeep charge is per vehicle, not per person — a part-filled jeep still costs the full rate.
- Flash photography is prohibited near animals, regardless of permit type.
- A second shift on the same day means a fresh entry fee and camera permit.
- Valid photo ID is required for every visitor, including children, at the gate.
