From Nashik to the Heart of the Jungle: The Dhikala 2 Nights / 3 Days Experience
If you are a wildlife lover in Nashik, you know the name "Dhikala." It is the Holy Grail of Indian wildlife tourism.
But getting there is not easy. Permits are scarce. Rules are strict.
That is why Corbett Online Booking has curated this Dhikala 2 Nights / 3 Days Package specially for our guests traveling from Nashik. We handle the bureaucracy so you can experience the magic of living inside the core tiger zone.
Forget the luxury resorts with swimming pools. This is about the luxury of nature.
Why Nashik Enthusiasts Crave This Package
- The Real Jungle Experience: In Nashik, you are surrounded by concrete. In Dhikala, you are surrounded by Sal trees and grasslands. You are cut off from the world (no TV, limited signal). It is the ultimate detox.
- The VIP Pass: Day tourists from outside cannot take Jeeps into Dhikala. By booking this package, you join an elite club of travelers who get to explore the prime tiger habitat in a private Gypsy.
- The Photography: The sunrise over the Ramganga River is a sight that photographers from Nashik travel thousands of kilometers to capture.
