Jhirna Zone is one of the most popular year-round safari destinations in Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve, offering visitors an unforgettable wildlife experience amidst dry deciduous forests, open grasslands, and natural water streams. Located on the southern edge of the reserve and accessed through Dhela Gate, Jhirna Zone is renowned for its healthy population of Bengal tigers, sloth bears, Asian elephants, leopards, deer, and hundreds of bird species. Unlike many other safari zones that close during the monsoon season, Jhirna Zone remains open throughout the year (subject to weather and road conditions), making it an excellent choice for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and families planning a safari in any season.
The Jhirna Zone is situated in the southern part of Corbett National Park, with the entry gate located around 16 km from Ramnagar. Unlike some other zones, Jhirna is open throughout the year, making it a great choice during the monsoon season.
This zone features dense mixed forests and large open areas where tigers are frequently spotted. Jhirna is also known for its significant population of sloth bears, which is rare in other zones. Bird species like peafowl, woodpeckers, and eagles thrive in this area. Additionally, Jhirna’s rich vegetation supports a variety of herbivores like nilgai (blue bull) and wild boars.
