Phato Zone, located in the southern part of Jim Corbett, is one of the newest and most scenic safari zones, famous for its dense sal forests, bamboo trails, grasslands, and peaceful jungle environment. Recently opened for tourists, the zone quickly gained popularity due to its clean forest tracks, fewer crowds, and good chances of spotting elephants, deer herds, and occasional tiger movement.

Phato is ideal for visitors who want a calm, photogenic, and offbeat safari experience away from the rush of core zones.
