From Dehradun City to the Tiger's Den: The Ultimate Bijrani Zone Guide
Are you mapping out a trip from Dehradun City 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 encounters. It is the elite of wildlife photographers and explorers coming from Dehradun City who have limited time but want massive returns.
At Corbett Step, we are dedicated on creating seamless safari experiences for guests traveling long distances from Dehradun City. We ensure that after your arduous journey, you don't face setbacks with permits or vehicles.
Why Dehradun City Nature Lovers Should Choose Bijrani
- The Probability: Bijrani has a brilliant track record of sightings. The tigers here are active and often walk right next to the Jeeps. For someone coming all the way from Dehradun City, this is the peak.
- The Convenience: Unlike other zones that are far away, the Bijrani entry gate (Amdanda) is just 2 km from Ramnagar city. This means less journey and more adventure time.
- The Terrain: The zone is a mosaic of dense Sal forests, river streams, and open grasslands. It is stunning for your Dehradun City friends to see!
Drafting Your Trip from Dehradun City
Since you are arriving from Dehradun City, you need a well-crafted plan. Here is how we back you:
Step 1: Permit Booking (The Hard Part)
Bijrani permits open 45 days in advance and sell out in heartbeats.
Our Role: You send us your details from Dehradun City weeks in advance. Our team focuses on the booking server to snatch 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 relaxing 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 registered Gypsy picks you up automatically from your resort. You don't need to sweat about finding the gate.
