Warning: The rule that keeps you safe: only book Rajgir Zoo and Nature Safari tickets at rajgirsafari.bihar.gov.in. Check the URL before starting to book — never book through a link shared on WhatsApp, Instagram, or a “quick booking” app. If a site asks for payment before showing you the official package names (Priority, Nature Safari, Zoo Safari, Venuvan), close it.
Rajgir Safari Prices & Packages
There are four types of Rajgir Zoo and nature safari tickets — Venuvan is a smaller, often-missed option worth knowing about if you want a shorter, cheaper visit.
| Package | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|
| Priority Package | ₹2000 | ₹1000 |
| Nature Safari Package | ₹300 | ₹150 |
| Zoo Safari Package | ₹250 | ₹250 |
| Venuvan | ₹20 | ₹10 |
What’s actually included in each:
| Feature | Priority | Nature Safari | Zoo Safari |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zoo Safari Entry & Tour | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Nature Safari Entry | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Battery Vehicle (Nature Safari) | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Glass Bridge | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Suspension Bridge | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Nature Camp | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Rifle Shooting, Archery, Zipline, Zip Biking, Wall Climbing | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Children’s Park, 3D Theatre, Cafeteria | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
This clears up a common confusion: the Glass Bridge isn’t a separate ticket — it’s included in the Priority and Nature Safari packages. If you’ve seen a third-party page charging ₹150–300 specifically “for the Glass Bridge,” that’s the Nature Safari ticket itself, not an extra add-on.
One thing to know before you pay: all bookings are strictly non-refundable, non-cancellable, and non-reschedulable. Double-check your visit date and package before completing payment — there’s no way to change it afterward.

- Pick your visit date. Bookings open up to 5 days in advance.

Didn’t Get an Online Slot? Here’s the Offline Option
Something worth knowing that most guides skip: ~25% of tickets sell online — the rest are kept for on-the-spot sales. If your preferred date shows no online slots, you can still get in:
- Offline tickets are available at Gate No. 5, starting around 7 AM.
- This is first-come, first-served, so arrive early on weekends and holidays.
- If the online payment system is down or the website is under maintenance (it has happened before), this gate is your fallback — don’t assume the safari is closed just because the website is unavailable.
What’s Actually Inside Nature Safari
Nature Safari and Zoo Safari are two different experiences, about 6 km apart, so it helps to know what you’re actually paying for:
- Glass Bridge (Glass Skywalk) — a transparent glass walkway roughly 200 feet high and 85 feet long, with the valley visible beneath your feet.
- Suspension Bridge — about 370 feet long and 6 feet wide, with a noticeable sway as you cross.
- Zipline / Flying Fox — a rope glide between hillsides.
- Zip Biking (Sky Cycling) — pedaling a suspended cycle across a cable.
- Wall Climbing, Archery, Rifle Shooting — available under the Priority package only.
- Nature Camp, 3D Theatre, Cafeteria — available in both Priority and Nature Safari packages.
If your main goal is the Glass Bridge and Suspension Bridge specifically, the standard Nature Safari package covers both — you don’t need the more expensive Priority package unless you also want the adventure activities like ziplining or archery.
Timings & Closed Day
- Weekly off: Monday — both Zoo Safari and Nature Safari are closed.
- Zoo Safari generally runs through the day starting around 9 AM; Nature Safari closes a little earlier in the evening than Zoo Safari.
- Timings can shift seasonally, so it’s worth a quick check on the official site the day before your visit, especially around festivals or peak winter season (October–March).
How to Reach
- Zoo Safari is about 4 km from Rajgir Railway Station, situated between the Vaibhgiri and Songiri hills, next to Pant Wildlife Sanctuary.
- Nature Safari is roughly 6 km from Zoo Safari and about 10 km from Rajgir Railway Station, located inside thick forest along the Rajgir-Jethian Buddha Marg.
- Nearest major airports: Gaya (Gaya International Airport) and Patna (Jay Prakash Narayan Airport), both a few hours’ drive away.
- Only authorized safari vehicles are allowed inside — private cars can’t enter the safari zones themselves, only the parking areas.
A Bit of Background
Zoo Safari opened to the public on 16 February 2022, developed by Bihar’s Department of Environment, Forest and Climate Change at a cost of roughly ₹177 crore, spread across about 472 acres and divided into five zones — lion, tiger, leopard, bear, and herbivores. Nature Safari opened slightly earlier, in 2021, developed at a cost of around ₹19–20 crore across 500 acres. Interestingly, the old ropeway near the site — with its 101 chairs — actually predates both safaris by decades, originally inaugurated back in 1969 alongside the Vishwa Shanti Stupa.
None of this changes how you book a ticket, but it’s useful context if you’re curious what you’re actually walking into.
Documents to Carry
- Your booking confirmation (digital or printed)
- The mobile number used at the time of booking
- A valid ID proof – Aadhaar Card, Voter ID or any other ID.
All required vehicles inside the Rajgir Safari entrance are included in your package with pick-up and drop to your tour/activities location.
