About Sitabani Zone
Sitabani is Corbett’s legendary buffer forest – an ancient landscape of Sal trees, streams and temples linked to the Ramayana.
It offers a gentler, more flexible safari option, perfect for relaxed drives, birding and combining nature with a touch of mythology.
Flora & Fauna
The forest is dominated by tall Sal and mixed woodland, interspersed with open patches and seasonal brooks.
You can expect sightings of deer, langurs, jackals, peacocks and a rich variety of woodland birds, with occasional elephant movement through the area.
Safari Experience
Sitabani drives are more flexible than core zone safaris, with the freedom to stop at temples, viewpoints and streams.
Our drivers and guides help you explore hidden corners, take safe photo breaks and understand how wildlife shares this landscape with local communities.
Stay Options
There is no lodge inside Sitabani itself, but several comfortable resorts are located in the surrounding area.
We recommend stays that keep your transfer short while immersing you in greenery and quiet.
Best Time to Visit
Sitabani is a good choice year‑round when open, especially for guests who want a lighter, more relaxed safari instead of the intensity of core zones.
Cool winter mornings and late afternoons are particularly atmospheric among the tall trees.
How to Reach
The Sitabani entry point is a short drive from Ramnagar and many nearby resorts.
We share reporting details in advance and coordinate the gypsy pick‑up directly from your stay wherever possible.
