The Dhela Zone is open throughout the year, including during the monsoon season when other zones might close. Located near the Dhela village, about 15 km from Ramnagar, it is easily accessible.
While Dhela Zone itself doesn’t have forest rest houses (FRHs), there are private accommodations and resorts near Ramnagar and the zone's entrance.
Advance booking is required to secure entry permits due to limited vehicle access. ID proof is mandatory for booking.
