They have been trained at the best institutions like Wildlife Institute of India, Uttarakhand Forest Training Academy, etc. Most of our naturalists are also actively involved in conservation and are seasoned travellers themselves.

Not just Safaris
We don't just organise jeep safaris and guided trips for seeing the wildlife inside the Jim Corbett National Park but we also offer other exciting and adventurous trips that will show you the historic beauty of this place that was home to the famous hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett, get you to witness the local culture and flavor of Kumaon, and bring you face to face to the trails that were once taken to hunt down the Man-eaters of Kumaon. We also organise educational and experiential learning trips for children as well as adults that help them understand the environment, its flora and fauna and the need to protect and conserve it.
Why book a safari with Dhikala Guides
Corbett National Park like most other national parks and Tiger reserves in India follows a "Roster System" for guides and 4 X 4 safari’s to regulate tourism business. The fall-out of this system is that it affects a nature travellers freedom of choice for selecting an experienced guide and a knowledgeable driver while on a safari. Ever so often guest’s are left disheartened by the safari experience in the roster system due to the driver/ guide’s lack of knowledge or experience, shortening of park rides, risky driving, etc.
