Eco-Tourism Pioneer

Dhela Safari Zone

A Thriving Wilderness of Sal Forests & Mixed Vegetation.

Explore the Untamed Dhela Range

Inaugurated in December 2014, Dhela is the sixth eco-tourism zone of Jim Corbett National Park. Known for its rich biodiversity and scenic beauty, it has quickly become a hotspot for wildlife enthusiasts due to its extremely high frequency of tiger sightings and a thriving population of wild elephants.

Tiger Sightings

Dhela is celebrated for its active tiger population. The zone's geography, featuring a mix of dense forest and open areas, makes it easier for safari-goers to track and spot the big cats.

Rich Flora & Fauna

The zone is dominated by Sal, Rohini, Haldu, and Bahera trees. Apart from tigers, you can spot Sambar deer, Barking deer, Wild Boar, and Nilgai in abundance.

Eco-Sensitive Trails

The Dhela range is managed with a strict focus on eco-tourism, ensuring that the natural habitat remains undisturbed while providing a world-class experience to visitors.

Wildlife Biodiversity in Dhela

Dhela's unique landscape of mixed forests and large grasslands makes it a thriving hub for some of Corbett's most iconic species.
