Official Safari Zones of Jim Corbett National Park
Dhikala Safari Zone
Recognized globally as the ultimate epicenter of tiger conservation, Dhikala stands as the largest and most scenic sanctuary loop. Flanked by the historic Patli Dun valley and meandered by the Ramganga River channels, its vast unending grasslands (Chairs) provide a perfect biosphere tracking landscape for majestic royal Bengal tigers, multi-species deer, and massive herds of migrating Asiatic elephants.
Bijrani Safari Zone
Renowned for its historical shooting blocks and vibrant wildlife density, Bijrani is arguably the most popular zone for daytime jeep trackers. The terrain features a brilliant natural mixture of dry deciduous forest beds, intersecting river beds, and dense Sal canopies that host active territorial big cats, sloth bears, leopards, and large herds of chital deer.
Jhirna Safari Zone
A beautifully recovered agrarian landscape turned into a dense sanctuary forest, Jhirna operates as a year-round ecotourism hotspot. Noted for its vast shrubbery fields and bamboo groves, it offers wonderful sighting opportunities for sloth bears, wild boars, sambar deer, and occasional migratory tiger prides even during monsoon periods.
Dhela Safari Zone
Inducted recently into the official reserve mapping layer, Dhela is a remarkably rich ecological zone characterized by extensive mixed forests, marshes, and old plantation patches. It has gained massive popularity among global travelers due to its exceptional bird watching matrix and high nesting count of raptors alongside resident tigers.
Garjiya Safari Zone
Running alongside the beautiful boundary trails of the Kosi River ecosystem, the Garjiya tourism ring presents a fascinating mixed topography of deep gorges, high hills, and thick forest floor layers. Its stunning aesthetic makes it an absolutely spectacular jungle safari trail for capturing raw wilderness landscapes and diverse fauna.
Phato Safari Zone
Famous for its beautiful dense canopy trees and distinct sub-tropical forest matrix, Phato zone is a highly scenic new addition.
