From Barabanki to the Tiger's Den: The Ultimate Bijrani Zone Guide
Are you scheduling a trip from Barabanki and wondering, "Which zone gives me the best chance to see a Tiger?"
The answer is often Bijrani.
While Dhikala is famous for its landscapes, the Bijrani Forest Zone is famous for its events. It is the top choice of wildlife photographers and residents coming from Barabanki who have limited time but want high returns.
At Corbett Step, we lead the way on creating seamless safari experiences for guests traveling long distances from Barabanki. We ensure that after your arduous journey, you don't face setbacks with permits or vehicles.
Why Barabanki Adventurers Should Choose Bijrani
- The Stats: Bijrani has a legendary track record of sightings. The tigers here are active and often walk right next to the Jeeps. For someone coming all the way from Barabanki, this is the dream.
- The Short Distance: Unlike other zones that are far away, the Bijrani entry gate (Amdanda) is just 2 km from Ramnagar city. This means less vehicle time and more field time.
- The Atmosphere: The zone is a collage of dense Sal forests, river streams, and open grasslands. It is picture-perfect for your Barabanki friends to see!
Arranging Your Trip from Barabanki
Since you are venturing from Barabanki, you need a smart plan. Here is how we direct you:
Step 1: Permit Booking (The Hard Part)
Bijrani permits open 45 days in advance and sell out in a flash.
Our Role: You send us your details from Barabanki weeks in advance. Our team stays on the booking server to obtain your permit the moment it opens.
Step 2: The Stay
Since Bijrani allows Day Safaris, you don't need to stay inside the forest (though you can!).
Recommendation: We can book you into a cozy resort in Ramnagar. You get AC and swimming pools—luxuries you might miss if you stay inside the forest lodge.
Step 3: The Safari
On the day of the safari, our professional Gypsy picks you up right from your resort. You don't need to hesitate about finding the gate.
