Haridwar: As the winter sun filters through the sal trees of Rajaji National Park, a familiar sight has quietly returned after years of absence — tourists moving through the forest on the back of an elephant. After a gap of nearly seven years, elephant safaris have resumed in the Chilla range of Rajaji, restoring an experience that many long-time visitors had missed. Seven Years of Silence The elephant safari was stopped in 2018 following concerns related to animal welfare and legal clearances. Since then, the forest trails remained empty of what was once a common sight — elephants walking slowly through the jungle, guided by their mahouts. For years, visitors would ask at the park gate if the safari had resumed. This season, the answer has finally changed. Radha and Rangili Lead the Way Two female elephants, Radha and Rangili, are currently part of the safari. Both are accompanied by experienced mahouts who know the forest routes well. The rides follow fixed paths and are kept short. Forest staff say the focus is on moving slowly, without disturbing wildlife, rather than covering long distances. A Different Way to See the Forest An elephant safari is nothing like a jeep ride. There is no engine noise, no rush. The forest sounds are clearer — bird calls, dry leaves underfoot, the wind brushing past the tall grass. From a higher vantage point, visitors often spot deer, peacocks, and sometimes fresh animal tracks. For many, it feels less like a tour and more like a walk through the forest. Seasonal, Limited, and Closely Watched The safari has begun with the winter tourism season and is expected to continue till June 15, depending on weather conditions. Officials say the number of rides is being kept limited and the elephants are closely monitored. “Their health and rest come first,” a forest staff member said quietly, watching the trail. A Welcome Change for Tourism Local tourism operators believe the return of the elephant safari will bring renewed interest to Rajaji, especially among families and nature lovers visiting Haridwar and Rishikesh. For now, the safari has returned without much fanfare — just the slow rhythm of elephant footsteps and the forest settling back into an old routine.
