Gohri Range (Buffer Zone Safari)

Rajaji National Park, Uttarakhand, India
The Gohri Range represents a less-explored but ecologically significant part of Rajaji National Park, primarily operating as a buffer zone. Unlike the more popular core zones, Gohri offers a distinct safari experience, particularly during the monsoon season (July to mid-October), when many other pa rk areas are closed. This unique accessibility during the rainy months makes it a special destination for those seeking a jungle adventure when other options are limited. The landscape of Gohri Range is characterized by its hilly terrain, dense mixed deciduous forests, and numerous seasonal streams and rivulets. The routes here are often rugged, offering an "off-road" feel that adds to the thrill of the safari. While large mammal sightings might be less frequent than in the core zones during the dry season, the monsoon transforms the forest into a vibrant, lush green spectacle. This is an excellent time to witness the rejuvenation of nature, with blooming flora and an increase in insect and amphibian activity. Gohri is also known for its potential for panoramic views. A specific route from Gohri Range towards Kimsar, stretching for about 20 km, takes visitors to higher elevations, offering breathtaking vistas of the entire Rajaji forest, the Bin River, and even glimpses of the majestic Ganga River in the distance. This makes it a great spot for landscape photography and appreciating the vastness of the park. Though primarily a buffer, Gohri still supports a range of wildlife, including various deer species, wild boars, and a diverse array of birdlife that thrives in the humid conditions. Its accessibility during the monsoon and its scenic beauty make Gohri Range a fascinating addition to the Rajaji experience, providing a different perspective of the park's dynamic ecosystem.
