Booking Dhikala FRH at Corbett

Fan of India

Hello Everyone,

We are a couple with a 1 year old toddler wishing to visit Corbett in April 08. I have read a lot abot the Dhikala FRH on the net but am still in search of answers to the following:

a) What other type of accomodation is available at Dhikala FRH apart from the bunk bed accomodation?

b) How can i book the Dhikala FRH from Mumbai? Can I do a local booking in Mumbai (ITDC/Agents etc) or is sending a money order draft to the Field directors office in Ramnagar the only option? Can these be booked through the internet?

c) We plan to spend 4D/3N there? Is there a restriction on the maximum number of nights we can stay at the Dhikala FRH?

d) Lastly - What are my chances of finding an availability of accomodation in April if i initiate an enquiry now (in mid jan)?

Thanks!

FAx your request to Ramnagar no. I am not sure, which one is the fax number, after getting their confirmation, you may need to send the money via Bank Draft.

Yes a restriction of 2 nights is there. alternatively, book 2 days for Dhikala and 2 days for Sarpadauli (Its nearby Dhikala)

April 08 - hmmm, fair enough chance - I guess, may be April 13-14 will be a crisis period.

Good Luck and send me some Tiger Photos.

Cheers.

U can book thru KMVN. They have a package deal and booking thru them is more likely to ensure accom at Dhikala.
Here's their link:

Altho it doesn't list Mumbai as a booking office, I'll be surprised if it's not poss (altho ronak being a Mumbaikar and Corbett-fan wud know better). Still u can call and confirm.

Other than that, if u don't want the package deal, book early directly - Dhikala bookings are hard to come by at short notice.

Hello, yes, Mumbai Kmvn office is a booking office and it works for me better than Delhi office...
