Chilla Tourist Guest House, Rajaji National Park
What is this place?
Forest Stay – This is a tourist guest house operated by Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam (GMVN) located in the Chilla range of Rajaji National Park . It serves as a government-managed accommodation option for visitors exploring the national park and its surrounding natural beauty.
Why people come here
Nature Immersion – People typically visit here to experience the tranquility of nature and be close to the wilderness of Rajaji National Park. It's often chosen as a base for wildlife safaris, bird watching, and exploring the diverse flora and fauna of the region. The setting offers a peaceful escape from urban life.
What to expect
Rustic Comfort – I find that you can expect a relatively basic yet comfortable stay, immersed in a forest environment. The atmosphere is generally calm and quiet, with the sounds of nature being prominent. It's suited for nature enthusiasts, wildlife photographers, and those looking for an authentic forest experience rather than luxury.
Best time to go
Wildlife Season – The best time to visit generally aligns with the opening season of Rajaji National Park , which is typically from November to June. During these months, the weather is more favorable for safaris and wildlife sightings. The winter months (November to February) are cooler and pleasant.
Practical info
Booking & Access – Bookings for the guest house are generally handled through GMVN . The guest house is situated near the Chilla Gate of Rajaji National Park, which is accessible from Raiwala . It's advisable to confirm safari timings and availability with the park authorities upon arrival.
Good to know
Forest Setting – Keep in mind that you are staying in a forest area, so amenities might be simpler compared to city hotels. It's a good idea to carry essentials like insect repellent and appropriate clothing for wildlife viewing. Electricity supply can sometimes be intermittent, which is common in such remote locations.
