Mumbai | 9th October 2007 | | JIM CORBETT PARK ( DHIKALA FOREST REST HOUSE) | Overview of the destination
One word- AMAZING!
As I have travelled most of the Wildlife Sanctuaries in India, this is one of the best. As you stay 20 km inside the forest it means you are right in the middle with them. We city people don?t find these 20km on highway much but mind you it?s jungle way for these same 20km you have to drive for approx 2 hrs as roads are jungle roads. Dhikala Forest rest house ideally located on the hill below a river flows across the FRH. This FRH is well kept as lots of foreigners visit this place & for 2 hrs distance you won?t get any thing. Carry regular FRH stuff for the park visit & keep utmost silence in the park.
As park visits timings are 6-9am & 3.30 ? 6.00 pm, you can hire a jeep & guide is a must. Go for these park rides daily twice you will be blessed with very good wildlife & birding.
There are 450 species of birds situated in the vicinity of the park. Charges for the ride when we visited (May 2007 : Jeep 700 full 200 Guide per ride) (Elephant ride : Don?t miss it, it?s thrilling Rs. 600 for 4 ) You can see attach photographs of the same.Food, sight-seeing and shopping
Food : Food was really good as it serves buffet for all meals. Activities & things to do
