JHIRNA FOREST ZONE
The Corbett tiger reserve’s southernmost region is where the Jhirna forest zone is located. It is one of the park’s six zones, and it was opened in 1994. There are many different types of plants and animals in the area. The only two forest zones that are open all year round are the Jhirna and Dhela zones. Throughout monsoon season, several areas of the park are still off-limits to visitors.
The Royal Bengal tigers’ primary range in the Corbett national park is the Jhirna forest zone. These animals can hunt and live freely in this area since it is covered in lush forests and vast meadows. This area is home to tigers, nilgai, sambhar, cheetahs, and wild boars in addition to tigers.
