About the Zone
Phato is useful for travellers who want a less familiar Corbett experience. The official CTR website's main zone table does not currently list Phato, although tourism operators market it separately, so it is presented here as an eco / forest experience rather than a standard core tourism zone.
Wildlife & Birdlife
- Potential wildlife can include deer, wild boar, elephants, leopards and other Corbett fauna
- Best described in broad 'wildlife-rich forest' terms unless a current official source provides a zone-specific species list
- Positioned around a quieter, less-explored safari experience
Landscape & Safari Experience
A quieter, less-explored forest and grassland setting, offering a different pace from the busier core zones.
Best Time / Seasonal Information
Seasonal availability - confirm current dates from the current booking or forest authority source before travel.
Safari & Permit Information
Permit and booking arrangements should be confirmed directly, as Phato is not listed on the current official CTR core zone table.
Permit authority: Confirm current authority at time of booking · Operational data last checked 2026
Who Should Choose This Zone?
