Kaliyar Sharif Rajaji National ParkNamed after India's freedom fighter
Sri C Rajgopalachariya, the Rajaji National National Park in the
Uttarakhand region is a regular haunt of nature lovers and wildlife
freaks. The national park was established in the year 1983. The whole
expanse of the park today serves as the perfect example of the Shivalik
eco-system. The park extends over an area of around 820.42 sq
km, taking in the areas of three districts of Uttaranchal
namely Dehradun, Haridwar and
Pauri Garhwal. For visitors to Uttaranchal, a wildlife
safari into the forests of Rajaji Park is simply an unforgettable
experience and an opportunity to get up close with the natural riches of
the Shivalik Himalayas.    The Rajaji National Park harbours a
huge variety of animal and bird species. Around 23 species
of mammals and 315 species of bird call the wilds of
the Rajaj Park home. A larger portion of the park area is covered with
deciduous and sal forests. Towards the southern margins of the park are
alluvial savannah woodlands while the upper reaches of
the hills are overgrown with Chir and Pine
trees. Whether it's the amazing landscape or the variety of wildlife
species, a visit to the Rajaji National Park in Uttaranchal is an
experience of a lifetime.    Major animal inmates at the Rajaji
Park include Indian Tiger, Leopard, Himalayan Bear, Cheetal,
