Bijrani’s terrain is diverse, with luscious Sal trees dotted throughout meadows. Aamdanda Gate is the entrance to this area.

The Bijrani zone, one of the six safari zones, is regarded as the second-best zone after the Dhikala zone for tiger sightings. This area’s scenic scenery, which includes vast grass fields called Chaurs, lush Sal woodland, numerous waterholes, and river streams, is just as alluring as the Dhikala zone’s. The likelihood of viewing a tiger in this area is essentially the same as that in the Dhikala zone, and safari travelers frequently report seeing tigers there. In addition to big cats like Bengal tigers and leopards, this area is also home to a variety of other creatures, including wild elephants, black bears, and various deer and antelope species, including chital, sambar, and hog deer. Around 600 species of resident and migratory birds can be found here, making it an ideal location for birdwatching.

Night Stay

Approximately 12 kilometers to the northwest of Bijrani, the Malani Forest Rest House was constructed in the 1930s and is situated on the edge of the Corbett National Park’s core zone. Visitors can enjoy the sight of deer grazing in the grassland, a Tusker peeling tree bark, or an odd encounter with a bear or leopard by taking the old forest track from Bijrani via the Machaan chaur to Mailani. The Malani sot (stream) inspired the name of this little FRH, which offers some of the most scenic surroundings and a tranquil ambiance. One of the best places for a tranquil stay and bird watching is here.

How and When to Visit

Even though the Bijrani zone’s day safari is accessible to wildlife fans from 15 October to 30 June each year, travelers can only spend the night in the forest house there from 15 November to 14 June. Due to the wet season, this location is inaccessible to all visitors outside of the times specified. You need a government permit to enter the restricted area, and you must reserve a room at the forest lodge in order to travel there. To avoid any inconveniences while visiting Corbett National Park, it is generally a good idea to reserve safari and woodland rooms in advance. Since staying in these forest houses is quite popular among wildlife enthusiasts, it is impossible to find a spare room on-site without making a reservation.
