Plan a holiday 
Come for sal forests, grasslands and the anticipation of a quiet wildlife encounter. Plan Corbett around a confirmed reserve permit, then leave time for the Kosi landscape and the region’s conservation history.
Discover the landmarks, landscapes and local corners that make this destination worth exploring.
Sal forest and grassland make Bijrani an appealing landscape for a permitted safari. Visit with the required authorised arrangements and enjoy the habitat as much as any sighting.
Book the correct zone and date; wildlife encounters cannot be promised.
Find on the mapBroad grasslands and the Ramganga landscape define this part of Corbett. Access is specifically regulated, so choose an eligible official visit or forest stay before planning around it.
Dhikala has different day-visit and overnight arrangements; an ordinary jeep booking elsewhere does not include it.
Find on the mapCorbett’s former bungalow introduces the person behind the park’s name and the area’s conservation story. Add this cultural stop to a day outside the safari zones.
Confirm current opening arrangements before the drive; museum admission is separate from a safari permit.
Find on the mapA temple rises above the Kosi on a prominent rock near Ramnagar. Its setting offers a cultural pause between forest excursions, with steps leading up to the shrine.
Expect narrow steps and check local access after heavy rain; do not enter the river.
Find on the mapFollow your curiosity. Choose a little adventure, a local story, or a slower way to spend the day.
Travel with the authorised vehicle and guide assigned to your booking. Look for birds, deer, tracks and changes in habitat; a tiger sighting is always a possibility, never a promise.
Arrange a local guide for birdwatching at suitable accessible spots outside the reserve. Bring binoculars and enjoy patient observation without approaching nests or disturbing wildlife.
Visit the museum at Kaladhungi to give the landscape a human and historical context. Allow time to read displays rather than treating it as a quick stop.
Use a permitted camera to observe from your authorised position, with the guide’s advice. Frame forests and grasslands as well as animals, and follow current device restrictions.
Activities are subject to weather and local availability. Separate bookings and charges may apply.

Choose the right season, a convenient base and a comfortable pace. Our team can help shape the stay around you.
Winter and spring are useful starting points for planning. Reserve zones follow different access calendars, and rain can change entry at short notice. Check the official portal for your exact dates before arranging a stay.
Ramnagar is the usual rail and road gateway for the zones featured here. Match your transfer to the gate printed on the permit; Corbett has multiple entrances and a town arrival does not mean immediate reserve access.
Ramnagar offers a practical arrival base; the Dhikuli and Kosi-side area suits a quieter setting outside the reserve. Choose around your actual safari gate. Forest rest-house stays inside the reserve require separate official arrangements.
Use corbettgov.org and read the latest zone notices before paying. Carry a printed permit and original valid identity documents matching the booking; access and bookings remain subject to reserve rules.
The reserve’s current notice prohibits mobile-phone use in tourism zones and asks visitors to leave phones at their accommodation or deposit them as directed. Recheck the notice before your safari.
The museum, Garjiya temple and Kosi-side outings are outside the safari zones. Sitabani is also outside Corbett Tiger Reserve; an excursion there should not be presented as reserve entry.
Remain with your authorised safari arrangements and follow the guide. Walking or trekking inside the reserve is prohibited; never feed animals or seek closer encounters for a photograph.
