Dhikala Zone
Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand, India
The Dhikala Zone is undoubtedly the most iconic and highly coveted safari zone within Jim Corbett National Park, famous for its stunning landscapes and excellent tiger sighting opportunities. Its vast grasslands (locally known as 'Chaurs'), dense sal forests, and the picturesque Ramganga River flow ing through it create an ideal habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. This zone is particularly renowned for its high density of Bengal Tigers ?? and a healthy population of Asian Elephants ??, often seen grazing in the open clearings or near water sources. Visitors frequently spot various species of deer, including spotted deer, hog deer, sambar, and barking deer, which form the primary prey base for predators. The Ramganga River is a lifeline for the animals and also offers sightings of gharials and mugger crocodiles basking on the sandbanks, along with numerous waterfowl and migratory birds. Unlike other zones, Dhikala offers the unique experience of overnight stays within the park's forest rest houses, allowing visitors to immerse themselves fully in the wilderness and experience the jungle at dawn and dusk ? prime wildlife viewing times. There are several forest rest houses within the zone, including Dhikala, Gairal, Sultan, and Sarapduli. These stays are highly sought after and must be booked months in advance. Jeep safaris are permitted in the morning and evening, taking visitors through different trails that offer varied animal sightings. Canter safaris are also available for those without an overnight stay booking. The landscapes here are breathtaking, especially with the backdrop of the Shivalik range, making every safari a photographic delight. Dhikala truly provides an unparalleled jungle experience for serious wildlife enthusiasts.
