About Phato Zone
Phato is Corbett’s new star – a beautifully forested zone with a dramatic gate drive and far fewer vehicles than the classic areas.
If you like quiet tracks, thick Sal forests and the feeling of exploring a relatively untouched side of Corbett, Phato is a great choice.
Flora & Fauna
The zone is dominated by dense Sal and mixed forests with natural clearings and seasonal streams.
Tigers, elephants, leopards, deer and a variety of birds use these woods, with frequent signs like pugmarks and alarm calls even when big cats stay hidden.
Safari Experience
Safaris in Phato feel immersive and intimate, with long stretches of forest where it’s just your gypsy, the track and the sounds of the jungle.
Our naturalists help you slow down, read the forest and enjoy everything from woodpeckers and langurs to the tension of fresh tiger tracks on a damp road.
Stay Options
Since there is no forest lodge inside Phato, we host you at carefully selected resorts near the entry gate, balancing proximity, comfort and price.
Early departures ensure you are among the first gypsies to enter when the gate opens.
How to Reach
Phato Gate is accessed via Ramnagar, with a short road transfer from your resort to the entry point.
Our team shares exact reporting times and coordinates a day before your drive, so you reach the gate comfortably ahead of time.
