The official website is the only way to get a jeep safari or overnight permit in Corbett National Park. All bookings for all Corbett tourist areas can be made through the official website. Once you receive the permit, you will need to book a separate jeep and guide for your safari. You must book your jeep in advance while the driver can be booked at the time of entry. Let’s talk in detail.

Which is a better mode for Jungle Safari, Jeep or Canter?

You should definitely go for a jeep safari as one of the main disadvantages of the cantera is that it makes too much noise and all the animals (especially the predators) go deep into the forest to avoid the sound. Also, the jeep is much more agile and faster on the narrow jungle roads.

 

If you’re traveling with a large group, you should hire several jeeps (if your budget allows), as one of the key aspects of wildlife watching is not to disturb the animals, and canters are notorious for making noise in the jungle.

 

Caters certainly have their advantages with height and room to move around (safaris can get really tiring at times), but in terms of animals living peacefully in their own homes, caters are at a huge disadvantage.

Which zone in the Jim Corbett National Park would offer the best chance for tiger sighting?

Dhikala is the zone you are looking for, it is the buffer zone in Jim Corbett National Park and gives you the captivating experience of exploring the deep jungle. It is also the most favorite zone among tourists. The zone is known for its beautiful scenery and is a very peaceful and quiet place.
