Questions people ask

What can you do around Ramnagar in one day?

Spend the morning at the Dhangarhi gate and in Jim Corbett National Park, about 26 minutes from Ramnagar on our routing, then visit the Garjiya Devi Temple on the Kosi, about 21 minutes from town. Get the permit at the reception office first; we have no verified safari hours, so ask there.

Do I need a permit for the park?

Yes. Wikipedia says permits are necessary to enter the Corbett Tiger Reserve and are issued at the reserve's reception office in Ramnagar, and that visitors hire permitted vehicles because private cars cannot enter. We have no verified fees, so ask the office when you book your trip.

When is the park open?

Wikipedia counts 15 November to 15 June as the main visiting season, and Wikivoyage says the Dhikala and Bijrani zones close from 16 June to 14 November for the monsoon. Rules change, so check the reserve's notice and the reception office in Ramnagar before you plan a visit.
