From the Urban Jungle of Indore to the Vibrant Jungle: The Ultimate Dhikala Guide
Are you fed up of the office routine in Indore? Do you fantasize of trading the alarm clocks for towering Sal trees and the buzz of cars for the trumpet of the Tiger?
If you are mapping out a trip from Indore, there is only one place that offers a real jungle experience: The Dhikala Forest Zone.
At Corbett Step, we lead the way in finalizing the perfect wilderness getaway for visitors traveling all the way from Indore. We know that when you travel this far, you want everything to be seamless.
Why Indore Visitors Select Dhikala
Dhikala isn't just a tourist spot; it is an escape. Here is why it is worth the trip from Indore:
- The Peace: In Indore, you are constantly connected. In Dhikala, with poor signal, you finally reunite with your family and nature.
- The Vistas: The view of the Ramganga River against the foothills of the Himalayas is masterpiece. It is a retreat for photographers from Indore.
- The Historic Experience: Staying inside the legacy Forest Rest House is something very few people get to do. It is a story you will tell your friends back in Indore for years.
Route Info: From Indore to the Jungle
Since you are coming from Indore, here is the easiest way to reach us:
- By Air: The nearest airport is Pantnagar (approx 2 hours from Corbett). You can take a flight from Indore (via Delhi) to Pantnagar. Corbett Step can schedule a cab to pick you up from the airport.
- By Train: The nearest station is Ramnagar. There are direct trains from major hubs. If you are coming from Indore, connecting via Delhi is usually the smoothest route.
- By Road: If you love touring, the drive is scenic. However, we suggest hiring a taxi from Indore or Delhi so you are rested for the safari.
The Two Ways to Encounter Dhikala
As your expert agency, Corbett Step offers two distinct ways for Indore travelers to experience this zone:
Option 1: The Ultimate Night Stay (Highly Recommended)
- Where you stay: Inside the jungle at the Dhikala Forest Lodge.
- The Safari: You get to do 2 Jeep Safaris per day.
- Why book with us: Permits for this are harder to get than a lottery win. We use our history to secure these for you.
Option 2: The Relaxed Resort + Canter Safari
- Where you stay: A posh resort in Dhikuli/Ramnagar (outside the park).
- The Benefit: You get the high of Dhikala during the day and the style of a 4-star resort at night.
