Anosh Koppiker on the Spirit of Rajaji Chillawali Safari

You’ve heard of Bera, Ranakpur, maybe even Jhalana—often touted as leopard country. No offence to any of them, but when it comes to raw thrill, real tracking, and regal leopard sightings, Rajaji – Chillawali sits at the very top of my list. Set against the backdrop of the mighty Ganga and cloaked in lush sal forests, this stretch of wilderness is underrated, untouched, and absolutely teeming with life—from elephants, sambar, spotted deer, wild boar, and of course… the elusive, elegant leopard. This isn’t your checklist safari. This is about paying tribute to the true King of these forests—the leopard—and experiencing a jungle that whispers, rustles, and sometimes roars. If you think you’ve seen it all, Rajaji is here to change that.
