From Pimpri-Chinchwad to the Tiger's Den: The Ultimate Bijrani Zone Guide
Are you considering a trip from Pimpri-Chinchwad 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 surprises. It is the preferred of wildlife photographers and travelers coming from Pimpri-Chinchwad who have tight schedules but want maximum returns.
At Corbett Step, we are dedicated on creating seamless safari experiences for guests traveling long distances from Pimpri-Chinchwad. We ensure that after your long journey, you don't face hurdles with permits or vehicles.
Why Pimpri-Chinchwad Visitors Should Choose Bijrani
- The Probability: Bijrani has a stellar track record of sightings. The tigers here are spirited and often walk right next to the Jeeps. For someone coming all the way from Pimpri-Chinchwad, this is the dream.
- The Location Advantage: Unlike other zones that are far away, the Bijrani entry gate (Amdanda) is just 2 km from Ramnagar city. This means less shuttling and more outdoor time.
- The Background: The zone is a combination of dense Sal forests, river streams, and open grasslands. It is stunning for your Pimpri-Chinchwad friends to see!
Organizing Your Trip from Pimpri-Chinchwad
Since you are heading from Pimpri-Chinchwad, you need a well-crafted 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 Pimpri-Chinchwad weeks in advance. Our team stays on the booking server to lock 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 certified Gypsy picks you up comfortably from your resort. You don't need to bother about finding the gate.
