Why Jim Corbett Jungle Safari is So Special

Jim Corbett National Park, India’s first national park, is world-famous for its Royal Bengal Tigers, Asian elephants, rich birdlife, and diverse landscapes. Unlike many wildlife parks that feel similar throughout, Corbett is divided into multiple safari zones — and each zone feels like a different forest altogether.

That means every safari drive gives you a new story, a new terrain, and new wildlife possibilities.

From tiger tracking to birdwatching and scenic river views, Corbett safaris are both thrilling and deeply peaceful.

Major Safari Zones of Jim Corbett

1️⃣ Dhikala Zone – The Crown Jewel of Corbett

Dhikala is the most famous and largest safari zone in Jim Corbett. It is often called the heart of the park because of its vast grasslands, Ramganga riverbanks, and dense forest belts.

This zone offers one of the highest chances of spotting:

• Tigers

• Wild elephants

• Hog deer & spotted deer

• Crocodiles near river edges

The landscape here is cinematic — wide open chaurs (grasslands) where herds move freely and predators patrol silently. Dhikala safaris are longer and more immersive, making them perfect for serious wildlife enthusiasts.

Guests staying at Tarangi Ramganga often choose Dhikala safaris for a full wilderness experience, followed by a relaxing spa session afterward.

2️⃣ Bijrani Zone – Most Popular for Tiger Sightings

Bijrani is among the most visited safari zones due to its excellent wildlife visibility and accessibility. The terrain is a beautiful mix of sal forest and open patches, which increases the chances of animal sightings.

You may encounter:

• Tigers

• Leopards

• Wild boars

• Jackals

• Rich birdlife

Morning safaris in Bijrani are especially magical — mist rising through the forest, golden light filtering through trees, and the jungle slowly waking up.

After an early safari, returning to Tarangi Ramganga Resort & Spa for a riverside breakfast feels like the perfect reward.
