Dhikala Forest Rest House
Dhikala is the forest stay most people dream of: grassland at your doorstep, the Ramganga below and the forest around.
Forest rest houses put you inside the reserve. Rooms are basic, the setting is not.

Forest lodges offer simple rooms, canteen meals and a night inside the forest. Alcohol and non-vegetarian food are not allowed inside the zone, as our earlier pages note (confirm with us).
Rooms are allotted by the forest department; booking windows differ for Indian and foreign nationals. Our earlier Dhikala page cited 45 days and 91 days respectively (confirm with us). We help you understand the process and plan safaris around a lodge stay.

Bijrani has two forest lodges, and an overnight stay inside the zone gives you first light in the forest.

Phato is a newer zone with tree houses for overnight stays, according to our earlier pages.
