Corbett's Newest Jungle Safari Zone
To keep pace with growing tourist demand and reduce the disappointment of sold-out safari seats, the Corbett administration opened the Ringora / Garjia Safari Zone for jeep safaris starting in November. Until then, Corbett's tourism zones were limited to Bijrani, Jhirna, Dhela, Durga Devi, Sitabani and Pakhro — Garjia is the newest addition to that list.
Garjia is a picturesque, densely forested part of Jim Corbett National Park, enriched with a wide variety of floral and faunal species. In terms of safari experience, it gives serious competition to the legendary Dhikala zone — cool, calm, and considered one of the most tiger-rich areas of the entire park.
The zone is entered through Ringora Gate, about 9 km from Ramnagar city, and comprises buffer, tourism and core areas. Entry is deliberately limited to a small number of vehicles per shift, keeping the natural habitat undisturbed and every safari feel exclusive.
