Frequently asked questions
How do I reach the Bijrani gate?
Our earlier safari page lists the entry as Amdanda gate. Resorts along the Ranikhet Road (Dhikuli / Garjia) are the closest cluster. Confirm the current gate and check-in time with us before you travel.
Is a tiger sighting guaranteed in Bijrani?
No. Corbett is a wild forest, not a zoo. Any zone can offer memorable wildlife and none can promise a particular animal. Patience, the right season and a good guide help.
How do I book a safari in Bijrani?
Safari entry is by permit and limited per shift. Send us your dates on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is available and how to proceed.
