Settled amidst the Shivalik ranges and near the foothills of the Himalayas, Rajaji National Park<\/a> is a Tiger Reserve which is spread over an area of 820 sq. km. in Dehradun, Pauri Garhwal, and Haridwar. After Jim Corbett, this park is the second tiger reserve in Uttarakhand. This national park was emerged by combining three wildlife sanctuaries, Rajaji, Chilla and Motichur in 1983 and was named after the famous freedom fighter, Sri C. Rajagopalachari, also known as Rajaji. While there are 4 gates of this park (Motichur, Jhilmil, Chilla and Ranipur), the Chilla gate is mostly preferred for entry.<\/p>\n

The national park holds a diverse range of flora and fauna with over 300 bird species and 315 avian species.
