Information on Dhikala Forest Lodge

The Dhikala area of Corbett National Park is probably the finest to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. The huge expanse of the grasslands, called "Chaurs" are the attraction of this area of the Park. The opportunity of going on an Elephant ride for wildlfe viewing is available from Dhikala besides a network of observation towers situated at the edge of the forest which are approachable by 4WD Jeeps. The location of the Dhikala Forest Lodge offsets its basic accomodation- though these facilities have been immemsely improved in 2006, as it is situated deep in the heart of the forest and wildlife can be observed can from the verandah of your room. The rooms at Dhikala have been renovated and are no longer basic by Indian Jungle standards and preference bookings in these rooms are given to
foriegners.
