Canter Safari

Dhikala Canter Safari in Jim Corbett National Park

The Dhikala area of Corbett National Park is probably the finest to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. The huge expanse of the grasslands, called "Chairs" are the attraction of this area of the Park. The meandering Ramganga river adds to the beauty of the landscape and provides the essential water resource to all wildlife. The reservoir forms a part of the largest man made lake to feed the Hydro electricity project at Kalagarh. The opportunity of going on an Elephant ride for wildlife viewing is available from Dhikala besides a network of observation towers situated at the edge of the forest which are approachable by 4 Wheel Drive Jeeps. The location of the Dhikala Forest Lodge offsets its basic accommodation- though these facilities have been immensely improved - it is situated deep in the heart of the forest and wildlife can be observed can from the verandah of your room.The rooms at Dhikala have been renovated but still basic by common standards.
