Phanto is the newest zone of Jim Corbett National Park, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 30 December 2021. Surrounded by the lush landscapes of Jim Corbett National Park, Phanto is another place for you to escape into nature. This biodiversity zone is followed by dense forests, beautiful scenery, and great wildlife, making it an ideal ecotourism adventure spot. However, this gateway is technically not a part of Corbett National Park but rather of the Pawalgarh Conservation Reserve part, but still, the forest area is the same, and the jungle safari is started in this area through the Phato entry gate, for which you can go from Mohan Nagar Maldhan. The entry gate of Phanto Zone is Phanto itself, which is about 24 km away from Ramnagar. As this area is recently being part of the Jim Corbett forest, most of the area is untouched or undiscovered, which increases the chances of good wildlife & bird sightseeing; this area has been longing to explore the jungle through the phanto zone gate that is filled with a variety of wildlife.

The significance of the Phanto Zone is deepened by its nearest forest area, which beautifully enhances the beauty of this place. It has some great bird watching opportunities for you. The region is replete with birdwatching, nature walks, and jungle safaris that let you unwind in the peace of the wild. The village is also inhabited by various local communities, contributing rich cultural diversity through their traditions, art, and culinary delights. If you are an adventurer who likes to trek the trail or you just want to enjoy the fresh air in a clean environment, Phanto Zone invites you to leave your mark with unforgettable experiences. It is kept as corals and pieces generally of untouched beauty as far as nature and culture coexist.
