From Okhla to the Tiger's Den: The Ultimate Bijrani Zone Guide
Are you organizing a trip from Okhla 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 ideal of wildlife photographers and explorers coming from Okhla who have busy itineraries but want high returns.
At Corbett Step, we lead the way on creating seamless safari experiences for guests traveling long distances from Okhla. We ensure that after your strenuous journey, you don't face confusion with permits or vehicles.
Why Okhla Residents Should Choose Bijrani
- The Activity: Bijrani has a stellar track record of sightings. The tigers here are unfazed and often walk right next to the Jeeps. For someone coming all the way from Okhla, 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 commuting and more tracking time.
- The Views: The zone is a variety of dense Sal forests, river streams, and open grasslands. It is stunning for your Okhla friends to see!
Drafting Your Trip from Okhla
Since you are coming from Okhla, you need a organized 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 minutes.
Our Role: You send us your details from Okhla weeks in advance. Our team handles on the booking server to catch 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 lavish 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 personally from your resort. You don't need to struggle about finding the gate.
