From Palam to the Tiger's Den: The Ultimate Bijrani Zone Guide
Are you scheduling a trip from Palam 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 scenarios. It is the favorite of wildlife photographers and residents coming from Palam who have short breaks but want limitless returns.
At Corbett Step, we focus on creating seamless safari experiences for guests traveling long distances from Palam. We ensure that after your hectic journey, you don't face setbacks with permits or vehicles.
Why Palam Guests Should Choose Bijrani
- The Population: Bijrani has a fantastic track record of sightings. The tigers here are bold and often walk right next to the Jeeps. For someone coming all the way from Palam, this is the aim.
- The Approachability: Unlike other zones that are far away, the Bijrani entry gate (Amdanda) is just 2 km from Ramnagar city. This means less transfer time and more sighting time.
- The Background: The zone is a blend of dense Sal forests, river streams, and open grasslands. It is stunning for your Palam friends to see!
Building Your Trip from Palam
Since you are journeying from Palam, you need a smart 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 instants.
Our Role: You send us your details from Palam weeks in advance. Our team targets on the booking server to win 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 charming 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 straight from your resort. You don't need to struggle about finding the gate.
