GET TO KNOW THE FOREST

About Dhela Zone.

Mixed woodland · Birdlife · Forest textures

Opened to visitors in 2014, Dhela is an ecotourism area of Corbett Tiger Reserve with a varied mix of sal, rohini, haldu and other trees. Its appeal lies in a living mosaic of forest habitats and the wildlife they support.

Tigers, leopards, elephants and sloth bears occur here, alongside a rich variety of birds. Dhela is listed for year-round visits, subject to safe conditions. A patient drive gives you time to appreciate the forest without making any one sighting the measure of your day.
