Experience the Thrill of Jungle Safari in Jim Corbett

Jim Corbett National Park—established in 1936 and spread across more than 520 sq. km—is India’s oldest and most iconic wildlife reserve. Known for its dense sal forests, open grasslands, winding riverbeds, and the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger, Corbett attracts travellers from across India every year. Whether you’re coming from Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, or even distant states, it remains one of the most loved weekend wildlife getaways for families, youngsters, corporates, photographers, and true nature enthusiasts. A jungle safari in Jim Corbett offers the perfect balance of thrill and tranquility. As your jeep enters the forest, every turn reveals something new—tiger pugmarks on the trail, a herd of elephants crossing your path, deer grazing peacefully, or the sound of birds echoing through the jungle. The atmosphere feels untouched… more raw, more alive. Corbett’s charm goes beyond wildlife. The fresh morning mist, golden sunrise, deep silence of the woods, and the excitement of entering legendary safari zones like Bijrani, Dhikala, Jhirna, and Dhela create an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s your first safari or your tenth, Corbett promises a new memory every single time. Your journey into the wild begins with choosing the right safari zone and planning your booking early.
