Day 1 Pickup from New Delhi and Check in at the FRH
We advise participants to reach New Delhi the day before the trip starts, so that we leave very early in the morning. We then drive to Ramnagar, in about six hours we reach the gates of Corbett. After checking in, and settling down, we go for an appetizing lunch and a round of mutual introduction, our Skipper will brief the group on the plans for the upcoming days. We learn about the natural history of the park and the tourist rules.
After lunch, we head for the afternoon safari and try our luck in the beautiful and lush sal forests in the setting sun.
We proceed for early dinner and timely sleep is recommended to get up fresh for the action following the next day.

Day 2 & 3 Morning and Afternoon Safaris and overnight at the FRH
For the next two days, we follow the same schedule in pursuit of tiger photography opportunities.
After a morning wakeup-call and morning tea opens the day, we leave for the safari at the earliest possible and be one of the first to enter when it opens. This will allow us to look for pugmarks and other fresh signs of any tiger movement to track the big cats, and also put us in a vantage position for viewing and photography, should the tiger luck shines upon us. Tigers are at their most active during the early hours of dawn and late hours of dusk, so we seek to utilize the first hour of the ride to the most.
The morning safari lasts for four hours, giving us a chance not only to find tigers but also see and photograph many other inhabitants of this reserve. We head back to the resort for rejuvenating breakfast.
Lunch will be followed by the second safari. Afternoons are great for bird-watching, and while we wait for tigers to start moving, your Skipper will constantly monitor the situation and strategize with the guide and the driver to maximize tiger sighting opportunities.
After the evening round we come back to the resort and go for a good night sleep after a lovely dinner.

Dhikala Forest Rest House

Welcome to unforgettable natural moments! For wildlife lovers, Corbett is always on the top wish list for many along with the Forest Rest House. The two come in as a perfect match for a complete feel.

Dhikala Forest Lodge is located near to Dikhala zone, 30 Km from the Dhangadi gate inside the core area of Jim Corbett National Park. The journey from Dhangadi gate to Dhikala itself is full of adventures, you have to travel through dense sal forest and Ramganga River with several seasonal rivers. You encounter many animals while going to Dhikala are herds of spotted deer, Barking deer, Sambhar, Barasinga, Elephants, and even Tigers also.

Dhikala forest rest house is the only forest rest house within the Corbett Tiger Reserve that provides the facility of electricity within the rooms and thus is ideally suited for families. Although the FRH is next to the grasslands, right in the middle of the forest, the campus is covered with solar wire fence to keep the animals out.

Anybody over the age of 18 (unless accompanied by an adult) and interested in nature and wildlife will enjoy this Tour thoroughly. There are no other eligibility criteria.

Our Photo Tours are designed to provide you sufficient space for comfortable photography, so you can expect a maximum of three other people (including the participants and the Skipper) apart from the driver and the mandatory forest department guide.

For tigers and other mammals, a telephoto zoom lens in the range of 70 to 200mm/300mm or 100 to 400mm works very well. If opting for a fixed (‘prime’) lens, the 300mm focal length on a cropped sensor body with a 1.4x extender (‘teleconverter’) is the best compromise, although lenses of longer focal length can be used to good effect as well, especially on ‘full-frame’ bodies. For birds, a lens with a focal length of at least 400mm is essential. A wide-angle or normal zoom to capture landscapes or creative perspectives of wildlife is recommended. And since the light conditions in Indian jungles can often be challenging, an image-stabilized lens and a camera body that performs well at high sensitivities are perfect.
