Bijrani Zone
The popular safari zone closest to Ramnagar, with sal forests, grasslands and streams. The top choice for half-day jeep safaris.
The Amdanda Gate entrance to Bijrani Zone is only about 1 km from Ramnagar town, making this the most popular area for half-day jeep safaris from Ramnagar. Sal forests, streams and open meadows alternate throughout the zone. Tigers, leopards, spotted deer, sambar and many birds of prey are commonly seen. The zone was once famous for star individuals such as the tigress Sharmili. Jeep safaris run in morning and evening sessions of about 3 to 4 hours each.
Permits must be booked on the Corbett official website with real-name details. In peak season they often sell out a month in advance. You must hire a licensed driver and guide. The zone is open from about mid-October to late June.
