Durga Devi Safari Zone
For bird watchers, Durga Devi Safari Zone is the best to explore with the availability of a wide variety of bird species due to the hilly area.

Garjia Safari Zone
It is located at a distance of around 9 Km from Ramnagar City. Like Dhela Safari Zone, Garjia Safari Zone is also a new safari zone introduced among the Corbett Tourism Zones to let tourists explore the wilderness with ease. Due to the limited number of safari zones and the limited seats and jeep rides, it becomes difficult for every tourist to explore Jim Corbett National Park. By looking at this, the Jim Corbett National Park administration has introduced Garjia Safari Zone for all nature and wildlife enthusiasts. Like other Corbett ecotourism zones, Garjia also houses a wide variety of flora and fauna.
