THE MOST ICONIC ZONE [DHIKALA]

The “Canter Safari” in Jim Corbett typically refers to the Canter Safari in the Dhikala Zone. This is a popular shared 16-seater bus safari that takes visitors deep into Corbett’s central, wildlife-rich region. It’s ideal for day travelers who don’t have an overnight stay permit, offering excellent opportunities to spot tigers, elephants, deer, and a wide variety of birds across expansive grasslands and dense forests. Canter Safaris operate in both morning and afternoon slots, and advance online booking is highly recommended due to high demand.

TYPES OF BEAR

Jim Corbett National Park hosts two bear species: the shy, insect-loving Sloth Bear, known for its long snout, shaggy fur, and moon-shaped chest patch, and the Asiatic Black Bear (Himalayan black bear/moon bear), recognizable by its V-shaped chest mark and preference for higher altitudes. Both are fascinating yet elusive animals, making sightings during safaris a matter of luck and special excitement for visitors
