Jim Corbett
Economy Package
Carved out along the Ramganga River valley at the Himalayan foothills, Jim Corbett National Park is India's oldest wildlife sanctuary and the cradle of Project Tiger. Celebrated worldwide for its sprawling riverine grasslands, dense sal forests, and dramatic landscapes, Corbett offers an immersive wilderness journey. Staying deep inside the core Dhikala zone
at historic forest rest houses brings you face-to-face with wild elephant herds, Royal Bengal Tigers, and rare gharials in anunrefined, authentic jungle setting.
Where Comfort Meets the Wild
Experience the raw thrill of staying deep within Corbett's core conservation zone at authentic forest rest houses (FRHs). Because lodging inside the core zone is managed directly by the forest department, facilities are basic, rustic, and focused on offering an authentic, unpretentious wilderness immersion rather than commercial resort amenities. These curated highlights reflect the historic charm, serene riverbed views, and rich core-zone safari tracks you will experience. Please note that imagery is representative to illustrate the environment and safari feel, while exact lodge allocations depend on official forest department permit grants.
Entry into the Core & Afternoon Safari
Arrive at the Dhangarhi gate, complete mandatory entry formalities, and take a scenic forest drive deep into the core Dhikala zone. Check into your historic forest rest house and relax before your afternoon safari. Head out across the Ramganga riverbed to track wildlife, returning by dusk to enjoy the quiet night under the stars and purchase meals directly at the forest canteen.
Full-Day Dhikala Wilderness Tracking
Begin early with a morning safari through the iconic grassland sweeps and riverine forests to track wild tigers and elephant herds. Return to the rest house for rest and meals at the canteen. In the late afternoon, head out for your second safari drive, concluding the evening surrounded by the quiet sounds of the core jungle.
Final Morning Safari & Core Departure
Depart at sunrise for your fourth and final morning game drive across prime tiger territory. Return to the forest rest house, pack up, and complete checkout formalities as you exit the park gates for your onward journey.
