Cricket Legend Embarks on Thrilling Jungle Safari Amidst Untamed Beauty of Dhikala
Renowned cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar recently traded the cricket pitch for the untamed wilderness as he embarked on an adventurous journey into the heart of nature at the famed Dhikala Zone of Jim Corbett National Park. Delving into the lush surroundings of the park, Tendulkar’s exploration promises to ignite the spirit of adventure and conservation among wildlife enthusiasts.
With an early start at 5:45 AM, Tendulkar set out on a thrilling jungle safari, immersing himself in the captivating landscapes and diverse wildlife of the Dhikala Zone. Known as the epitome of wilderness within the expansive Jim Corbett National Park, the Dhikala Zone provided Tendulkar with an exhilarating experience amidst its dense forests and meandering rivers.
Tendulkar’s affinity for wildlife is evident from his previous expeditions to various destinations, including the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh, and the iconic Masai Mara in Kenya. His journey into the Dhikala Zone adds another chapter to his adventures in the natural world, showcasing his passion for conservation and exploration.
However, recent regulatory changes, including the Supreme Court of India’s prohibition of tiger safaris in the core areas of Jim Corbett National Park, have altered the landscape of wildlife tourism in the region. Despite this restriction, visitors can still partake in jeep safaris in the buffer zones, offering opportunities for exciting wildlife sightings and memorable experiences.
Nestled amidst the Himalayan foothills, the Dhikala Zone beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts with its rich biodiversity and picturesque vistas. From majestic tigers to elusive leopards and graceful deer, Dhikala’s diverse wildlife offers visitors a chance to connect with the raw beauty of nature in an immersive safari experience.
