Once you enter the park, you are free to explore the jungle and its flora and fauna by jeep throughout the day within the allotted time.
Dhikala Elephant Safari
An elephant safari in the dense forest is the best way to explore the rich flora and fauna of the park and the most exciting safari experience as tourists can see the animals from a very close distance compared to jeep and catamaran safaris. The Dhikala zone also offers elephant safari, but it can only be enjoyed by tourists staying at the Dhikala forest lodge. The number of elephants used for safari is limited and service is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, so the phrase “the early bird can get the worm” applies here. You have to pay for the elephant safari on the spot at the elephant camp as it is not pre-booked. Elephant safari is not organized on Monday, so if you want to enjoy elephant safari, arrange your overnight stay in Dhikala accordingly.
Attractions in Dhikala Zone
Corbett Forestry staff conduct canter safaris in the Dikala Zone to provide an opportunity to explore the area’s rich wildlife. Canter Safari is the only option for wildlife lovers who stay outside the Dhikala tourist zone and want to visit the area as there is no day jeep safari for this zone. The Canter is a 16-seater open-top bus and can be booked online or from the Corbett National Park office in Ramnagar. The starting point of the Canter safari is the Ramnagar Corbett office, so tourists can board the Canter here for the safari if they have a pre-booked permit. During the day safari, the boat halts for some time at the Dhikala Forest Rest House, and the tourists can get off the boat, freshen up, walk around the complex and enjoy the beauty of the towering Ramganga River as well as the opportunity to see various wild animals in the river bed.
Forest Rest House
An overnight stay in the forest house in the Dikala area is like a dream adventure for all wildlife lovers. There are 4 forest lodges in this area namely: Dhikala FRH, Gairal FRH, Sarpduli FRH, and Sultan FRH. Among the four holiday houses, the most sought-after DHC “Dikala” is due to its strategic location and improved conditions.

A maximum of six adults and two children (under 12 years of age) can travel in one safari jeep, in addition to the driver and guide.

Forest Watchtower

The observation tower is located near the Dhikala rest station and can be easily reached while staying at the rest station.
Gairal Crocodile Point
The Crocodile Point is located near the Gairal Rest Station and is a terraced place built over a pool that is permanently inhabited by a large number of crocodiles.

Grass Lands (Chaurs)
