GET TO KNOW THE FOREST

About Jhirna Zone.

Deciduous forest · Grasslands · Birdlife

On Corbett’s southern edge, Jhirna combines deciduous and secondary forest with open grasslands. This mix of habitats makes a jeep safari as much about the landscape as the wildlife, from a rustle in the undergrowth to birds crossing a clearing.

Sloth bears and wild elephants are among the animals associated with Jhirna. It is listed for year-round day visits, making it an option to explore outside some other zones’ visitor seasons. Safe roads, weather and current forest permissions still determine access.

Entry Gate
Dhela Gate

The same gate area serves different routes; check your zone permit.

Timings
Morning & afternoon

Allow roughly 3–3½ hours; the permit sets the actual shift.

Best Time to Visit
Year-round, when open

November–April suits cooler-weather trips; rain can restrict access.

Timings, routes and availability are subject to forest authority rules, weather and current operating notices. Your confirmed permit sets the final entry instructions.

Year-round listing does not mean guaranteed entry. We check the current route status and weather conditions for your travel dates.

A LITTLE PATIENCE. A LITTLE WONDER.

Wildlife you may spot.

Every sighting is a chance encounter. Wildlife moves freely, and sightings are never guaranteed.
