Spread over 500 sq km, Corbett National Park has the largest number of tigers among all national parks in India. The national park is divided into five eco-tourism zones where you can go for a safari. The regions are Dhikala zone, Durgadevi Zone, Dhela Zone, Bijrani Zone, and Jhirna Zone

The most famous of these zones in Jim Corbett is the Dhikala zone which also offers an overnight stay inside the reserve forest resthouse. It’s considered the best zone to spot tigers while you’re here on a canter (open bus) safari. Bijrani Zone is the closest to Ramnagar and offers a chance to spot tigers as well as other wildlife species. In the Jhirna Zone, the wild bears are the main attractions. If you are a birder, you should head towards Durga Devi and Dhela zones as they are known to be the jaunt of a myriad of birds in Jim Corbett. Ibisbill, Pallas’s Fish Eagle, Rosy Minivet, etc. are some of the birds commonly spotted in the area.

For all safaris, you would be accompanied with a forest guide or naturalist. You can opt for a jeep safari or canter safari, bookings for which can be done online as well as offline via hotels and tour operators in Jim Corbett.
