Rajaji National Park:
In 1983, three sanctuaries in the Shivaliks --Chilla, Rajaji
and Motichur-- were merged into a large protected area and
were jointly named Rajaji National Park after the famous freedom
fighter Lt. Shri Rajagopalachari. Spread over an area of over
800 sq. kms, the park is a magnificent ecosystem nestled in
the Shivalik ranges. With the Ganga River flowing through,
the park is the beginning of the vast Indo-Gangetic plains.
