The Fato Zone of the Terai West forest division in the Corbett landscape has emerged as a popular choice for tourists. The tree houses here offer visitors a unique blend of adventure and romance in the wilderness. After the success of two tree houses, the department is now preparing to construct a third one.
Divisional forest officer Prakash Chandra Arya informed that these tree houses remain fully booked throughout the year. Tourists not only get the opportunity to experience wildlife up close but also enjoy frequent sightings of tigers and other animals. This is why the Fato zone remains open for visitors year-round.
In the past four years, 3,44,110 tourists visited the zone, generating a revenue of Rs 10,72,76,659 for the department. Currently, the zone has two tree houses and four huts. With the addition of another tree house, accommodation options for tourists will further increase.
The steadily rising popularity of Fato zone proves that it has now become a preferred destination for domestic as well as international tourists seeking the thrill of adventure in the lap of nature.
