Rajaji Tiger Reserve, A conservation odyssey in the Shiwaliks” is the story of Rajaji Tiger Reserve since its inception as a sanctuary.

The pictures beautifully bring out the regained habitat of the reserve, healthy enough to support the tiger. The stories of the elephants and tigers of Rajaji make the reserve come alive to the reader. The book is complete with checklists of plants, mammals, birds and amphibians found in the reserve. The lucid style of writing and interpretation of the forests of Rajaji will inspire the readers to visit the reserve for an overnight stay in the various forest rest houses or a day visit to the reserve for a scintillating experience.
