• Jim Corbett Jeep Safari: One of the best ways to enjoy the Jim Corbett National Park is considered to be the jeep safari. It is speedy and also the most relaxed activity. The joy of the open jeep in itself is the best part while tracking tiger footprints in the wilderness.

There are majorly four zones in the Jim Corbett National Park which are Bijrani, Jhirna, Durga Devi and Sitamani.

• Canter Safari: It is an open 16 seat minibus which only covers the Dhikala Zone of Jim Corbett National Park and is also a bit slow. 

• Elephant Safari: Most of the elephant safaris are available in the Jim Corbett National Park whereas the joy ride is only available on the banks of the River Kosi. 

The entire forest area of Sitabani is open all through the year for Safari tours and there is absolutely no limit of vehicles entering the area.

Sitabani is believed to be one of important zones which are always packed with tourists and most of the tourists entering the Sitabani Jeep Safari zone are ardent bird watchers.

All the bird lovers will be the happiest people to watch all the different kinds of birds and the best part is that there are a great variety of birds to watch through the entire season. Also, the travelers can also take glimpses of vultures, which have almost vanished from the cities and towns.

One thing to note is that only those people can indulge in jeep safaris at Dhikala zone that have permits to stay at the forest lodges located at Dhikala zone. If you are staying outside the Dhikala zone then canter safari will be the only option to indulge in the safari ride at the Dhikala zone.
