Dhikala Canter Safari Package Overview
The Dhikala Canter Safari Package From Delhi takes you into the most famous zone of Jim Corbett National Park. Dhikala lies deep inside the park on the edge of the Ramganga reservoir, surrounded by vast grasslands called chaurs. These open plains offer some of the best wildlife viewing in India, with herds of elephants, deer, wild boar and, with luck, tigers walking across the grass.
The canter is a large open vehicle run by the Forest Department that carries about 16 visitors from the Ramnagar Dhangarhi gate into the Dhikala zone. A canter safari covers a long route through sal forest, river crossings and grassland, giving you plenty of time in the park. Our team assists with canter booking through the official process, plans a comfortable resort stay near Ramnagar and keeps your timings smooth. This Dhikala canter safari package from Delhi is ideal for families and nature lovers who want a deeper jungle experience at a relaxed pace.
