Dhikala is the crown jewel of Jim Corbett National Park. Staying inside the historic Dhikala Forest Rest House (FRH) surrounded by core tiger habitat is a bucket-list experience for wildlife enthusiasts.
However, because demand is extremely high and accommodation is limited, booking Dhikala permits requires careful planning. Here is step-by-step guidance from our local Ramnagar office.
Dhikala Permit Booking Rules
- Booking Window: Open 45 days in advance on the official government website.
- Open Season: November 15 to June 15 only.
- Mandatory Requirement: Night stay permits include compulsory forest gypsy and driver registration.
- Indian Nationals vs Foreigners: Separate quotas exist on the government booking portal.
