The Jim Corbett Park is one of the oldest and the most well known Tiger Reserves in
India. Situated in the beautiful town of
Ramnagar, in Nainital, Corbett Park is full
of visual delights, casting everlasting
impressions. Corbett Park is full of tourists
and visitors round the year and thus has
developed a large number of forest lodges
offering the best of facilities and comfort.
Some of the best accommodation option
inside Jim Corbett Park includes Dhikala
Forest Lodge, Gairal Forest Lodge and
Sarapduli Forest Lodge. Though there are
others that have a good repute as well. But these deserve a special mention because of
reasons yet to be discovered.
Dhikala Forest Lodge is situated at a distance of 30 kilometers from the Dhangadi Gate.
The journey from the gate to
the lodge itself is an
adventurous one, including the
drive across the Ramganga
River and the dense forest of
Sal trees. Some of the common
animals that one might spot
are Barking Deer, Elephants,
Barasinga, Hyena, Tigers and
Monitor Lizards. The Dhikala
Forest Lodge contains various
categories of rest houses and
cabins. Priced according to the
facilities they offer, this particular lodge attracts a lot of tourists from all corners of the
world.
The Gairal Forest Lodge is a little closer situated at about 20 kilometers distance from
the Dhangadi Gate. The Sultan Lodge and the Corbett National Museums fall on the way
to the lodge from the gate. This is one of the best places to stay in the Corbett Park as it
is surrounded by the rustle of the rivers and the wild dense forests. However the Forest

2. Department ensures that no predator enters the lodge premises and thus has set up
solar fences.
The Sarapduli Forest Lodge falls between the Dhikala Lodge and the Dhangadi Gate. A
prior reservation with the tour
authorities or the Project Tiger
authorities is a must to stay at this
lodge. The lodge comprises of 2
Bungalow rooms and 2 Hutments. Any
kind of foot movement is restricted in
the areas where bungalows are made as
most wild animals are found freely
moving around the lodge. The Sarapduli
lodge thus offers a great amount of adventure and is the perfect destination to be for
animal people with a knack for extreme adventure.
There are other lodges as well, like the Kanda forest, Khinnanauli Forest lodge, Sultan
Forets lodge and many more. However the above three lodges discussed in detail are
some of the best places to stay in the Jim Corbett National Park.
