About Durga Devi Zone
Durga Devi is Corbett’s wild, hilly frontier – a rugged zone along the Ramganga and Mandal rivers known for its dramatic scenery and quieter tracks.
It appeals to serious wildlife lovers and birders who value landscapes and atmosphere as much as sightings.
Flora & Fauna
Steep forested hills, river gorges and mixed woodland create habitat for elephants, leopards, goral and rich birdlife including fish‑eagles and Himalayan species.
Mahseer in the rivers and frequent signs of predators on the tracks add to the sense of being in true big cat country.
Safari Experience
Drives in Durga Devi involve winding hill roads, river crossings and vantage points over valleys and pools.
Our naturalists focus on scanning riverbeds, rocky outcrops and forest slopes for movement, giving you a deeper appreciation of Corbett’s topography
Stay Options
There is no forest lodge inside Durga Devi, so we base you at hand‑picked resorts that offer easy access to the entry gate.
Early morning and late afternoon transfers are coordinated so you spend your prime hours inside the zone.
Best Time to Visit
Durga Devi is particularly rewarding in the cooler months when visibility is better and river levels drop enough to expose sandy banks and rocks.
Birding peaks from November to March, with both resident and winter visitors.
How to Reach
The Durga Devi gate lies on the northeastern side of Corbett and is reached via Ramnagar and village roads.
