About This Zone
Why Jhirna Is
Why Jhirna Is
The Off-Season Answer
Jhirna is the only zone inside Jim Corbett National Park open every month of the year, including the July to September monsoon closure that shuts down Dhikala and Bijrani. Mixed deciduous forest, sloth bears, and a steadily growing tiger population make it worth a visit in its own right, not just a fallback.
Fewer jeeps here than the headline zones, especially outside winter, which means calmer sightings and more naturalist attention per vehicle.
