DHIKALA ZONE - Wildlife park in Dogadda Range - Nainital, India

Truly a wonderful experience. Jeep safari is only available if you have a reservation (stay) at the Dhikala forest rest house. Getting a gimps of tiger may depends upon your luck, but other animals can be seen easily, just outside of the campus. If you are interested in visiting without the stay, then the option of Canter is available for you. Canter starts from Ramnagar and will to-and-fro. Dhilala Forest house has 24 hours electricity in the rooms. Zone opens from November to June. There is a museum at the entry gate.

Great experience. Recommended for wild life lovers. Stay is to be booked in advance on the official website. Jeep safari is also booked at that time. Good binoculars will be handy.

It was a very very pleasant night stay in Dhikala Zone. But unfortunately we didn't see tiger during our stay or safari. But we saw many elephants and deers.

It is the first zone of all zones in Jim Corbett. The whole jungle is around 1280 km. People usually give priority to this zone when you book the safari ride. I recommend you to book Forest Rest houses here which are usually booked 45 days before so that the chances are high to view the tigers. Do not book canter safari they are boring & you will get exhausted. Take a Gypsy ride instead, amazing experience. Do not forget to carry Goggles, Cap, Windshields, sometimes it is very dusty & cold while travelling.

A beautiful place to see Jungle and watch wildlife in india. The landscape with the southern most ranges of Shivalik and Ramganga river is just stunning! It is home to a variety of animals including the Royal Bengal Tiger. Plenty of birds can be watched. For Birdwatching, the winter season is the best time.

Beautiful place.. most green and it's become more in the monsoon season... Best weekend trip place who lives in NCR region.

Corbett Tiger Reserve is one of the best place for Wildlife lovers. It is situated in Nainital district, Uttrakhand. It is well connected with Ramnagar, Haldwani. It's a very big Tiger Reserve established in 1936. Dhikala, Bijrani, Garjia, Jhirna, Dhela, Durgadevi, Sonanadi, Sitabani, Mohan etc. entry gates are there. We took One Canter safari from Dhikla gate. Canter Safari Cost approximately Rs.1500/- including Permit, Naturalist cum guide charges from Dhangadi gate. Half day morning Safari timing for 75 Km approx track -12.30 PM to 18.30 PM. Dhangadi gate is 20 km away from Ramnagar. Safari starts from Dhangadi gate to Dhikala Zone. Beautiful landscape, grassland, Ramganga River basin, Sultan Gairal Sarpaduli Dhikala Forest guest Houses are there inside the jungle. For Jypsi safari you have to stay at night inside the Park. Wonderful place to stay inside the Corbett Tiger Reserve, Dhikala zone. You can enjoy the nature. You have to pre-book this rest houses otherwise very difficult to get the booking. I have spent few time here during our day safari. Washroom, Canteen is there. You will get a very good view of Ramganga River Basin from here. I am fortunate enough to witness the grand sighting of Tusker named Laal kan with herd of 20 elephants at grassland, Sambar, Cheetal, Barking Deer, Himalayan Langur, Green bee eater, Kingfisher, Mayna, Egret, Woodpecker, Kalij Pheasant and many more. It's an amazing experience for me.

Basically this is the location of Dhangarhi gate which is the gateway of Dhikala zone . We visited the zone in a canter safari .All the safari buses reach here at 12.15 pm-12.30 pm and start at sharp 1 pm for evening safari . The gate has a statue of Mr. Jim Corbett, a canteen, washroom, Souvenir shop and a museum. The actual DHIKALA FRH is almost 23Km inside forest from this gate .
