About this trip

The flagship — overnight inside Dhikala Forest Rest House.

Dhikala is the heart of Corbett — highest tiger density, the famous grasslands, the Ramganga river bed and the Old Forest Rest House from Jim Corbett's own writings. This package includes one night at Dhikala FRH, one canter safari through the grasslands, and additional jeep safaris at Bijrani and Jhirna. Dhikala booking opens 46 days in advance and sells out fast — book this package at least 90 days ahead.

What stands out

  • Kolkata <-> Moradabad train fare INCLUDED (Sleeper Class)
  • 1 NIGHT INSIDE Dhikala Forest Rest House
  • Canter safari through Dhikala grasslands
  • 2 additional jeep safaris (Bijrani + Jhirna)
  • Dedicated naturalist at Dhikala
  • 3 Nights at Premium Riverside Resort
  • Full meal plan — including dinner at Dhikala FRH

What to pack

Keep it light. There is a road transfer and a jeep with limited space, so one bag per person works far better than two.

  • Warm clothes — Dhikala nights are cold even in summer
  • Torch / headlamp (limited power at FRH)
  • Trekking shoes, hat, sunglasses
  • Binoculars (highly recommended)
  • Camera with telephoto lens, extra batteries
  • Power bank (essential for Dhikala night)
  • Insect repellent, personal medicines
  • Valid original photo ID — MANDATORY
  • Light raincoat (Mar-Jun thunderstorms possible)

Frequently asked

At least 90 days in advance. Dhikala FRH opens bookings 46 days ahead and frequently sells out within minutes for peak months (Mar-Jun).
We offer an upgraded alternative: 1 extra night at Gairal FRH (Dhikala zone, riverside) + an additional safari, plus a partial price adjustment.
Yes, the FRH is well-protected and the canter safari is seated. However, mobility inside the FRH is on uneven paths — recommended for those comfortable walking.
Basic vegetarian meals — dal, sabzi, rice, roti. Quality is simple but freshly cooked. Non-veg is not permitted inside Dhikala.

A few things worth knowing

On the news

Ajkal recorded a podcast with us

The Bengali daily sat down with us to talk about running small-group safaris out of Kolkata, and why we work one park properly instead of selling forty destinations.

Chandrabindoo in Corbett

The band came to the forest with us. Same trains, same jeeps, same gates as everybody else on this page — we do not run a separate trip for anyone.
