“I think your car will easily climb the rocky path that leads to the forest rest house, ” the petrol pump attendant near Chilla—a wilderness area and part of the Rajaji National Park—tells me. Crouching, he checks out the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza’s ground clearance that we have driven from Delhi to this elephant reserve in Uttarakhand.
“A poor cousin of the Jim Corbett National Park as far as tourist inflows are concerned, Rajaji has, of late, started attracting a lot of visitors, ” a forest officer says.
Interestingly, he appears to be more interested in the Brezza than I am in the elephants. “Which SUV is this, ” he asks, “It looks like a baby elephant.”
