Frequently asked questions

Are the tree houses bookable through you?

Our earlier page mentions five tree houses. Availability and booking channel need to be confirmed — message us and we will check.

Is a tiger sighting guaranteed in Phato?

No. Corbett is a wild forest, not a zoo. Any zone can offer memorable wildlife and none can promise a particular animal. Patience, the right season and a good guide help.

How do I book a safari in Phato?

Safari entry is by permit and limited per shift. Send us your dates on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is available and how to proceed.
