# What animals can you really see at Rajaji National Park near Rishikesh?

Post by rishikeshtigersafari  (@rishikeshtigersafari)

Everyone asks about tigers, but the real stars of Rajaji National Park are the elephants, chital and sambar deer. 🐘🦌

On a jungle safari near Rishikesh, here is what you can realistically expect:

Wild Asian elephants, often near the river banks
Chital (spotted deer) and sambar in the clearings
Leopard signs such as pugmarks and alarm calls (sightings are rare)
Peafowl, hornbills and hundreds of bird species

Tigers live here too, but they're shy, so count one as a lucky bonus. The best months depend on whether you want birds (winter) or easier animal sightings near water (spring and early summer).
