The lifeblood of Corbett National Park, the Ramganga River, gracefully winds its way through the very heart of the park, creating vital watering holes and attracting an incredible array of wildlife.

This zone is a dream come true for wildlife photographers and filmmakers. The unique play of light filtering through the dense foliage, combined with the unparalleled biodiversity, creates a canvas of captivating moments. Envision capturing a majestic Royal Bengal Tiger as it emerges from the tall grass, or spotting herds of elephants by the riverside. Beyond these iconic creatures, Dhikala teems with spotted deer, barking deer, wild boars, and a spectacular variety of resident and migratory birds, making every jeep safari an opportunity for incredible sightings.

Staying inside Dhikala offers an intimacy with nature simply unavailable elsewhere. Hear the distant roars of a tiger, witness the nocturnal activities of the jungle, and feel the raw pulse of the wild around you. A Dhikala safari is more than just a sightseeing trip; it's an opportunity to connect deeply with one of India's most celebrated wildlife havens.
