Jim Corbett
is one of my childhood hero, so a tour in the land of Corbett was a long-time
dream for me, among the four zones of forest dhikala is the best to visit,
booking can be done by www.corbettonline.uk.gov.in , Indian visitors are allowed to book
45 days in advance, and I had tried hard to book FRH in that zone, booking
starts at 10am, you will be surprised to know I had tried to book from 3rd
feb to 10th feb every morning, but FRH get full within 1-2 mints,
god knows who can fill up the entry from with all details and do money
transaction so fast. Therefore I had opt for cantor safari in Dhikala zone
(jeep safari and elephant safari allowed for those lucky persons who can manage
to book FRH with in 1 min time), cantor is a kind of large open jeep, seating
capacity is 20. Only two cantor was allowed to go inside jungle per trip. I
booked cantor for two adult and one child cost is 2626 Rs which include safari,
guide and camera charges.

To stay at
ramnagar I had booked tent option in Corbett motel (through cleartrip.com) and
a vehicle was booked from gurukripa travel (www.gurukripatravel.com ) for my entire tour plan, from corbett motel to
ramnagar corbett office is about 2km, our safari time was 6am, we had started
at 5am, and by mistake we reached at Amanda gate (Bijrani zone), it was
absolutely dark no one was there, luckly found one guard who give us
instruction to reach ramnagar office immediately else cantor will leave for
jungle, (the same was instructed from corbett office reception to report by
5:30am), so we again go back to ramnagar office, but it was closed, no one
there to help us. Local taxi drivers around confirm us cantor will come to that
place only, ultimately cantor arrive the place at 6am, we get in and everybody
exited for safari, surprisingly the driver and guide making delay and waiting
for some other tourist, after repeated hammering they ultimately start journey
at 6:15am,
We reach to
Dhangarhi gate at 7am. The morning of late March the atmosphere was too cold, we
had taken all protections, but it was found insufficient. On the way to the
dhangarhi gate few deer was sighted, at the gate the copy of the booking and
the ID card of each tourist was checked and then only allowed to go inside, so
pls carry your own ID card during visiting corbett,
