Into the Wild: A Quick Guide to Jim Corbett Safari

Jim Corbett National Park, nestled in the foothills of Uttarakhand’s Himalayas, is a paradise for wildlife lovers and nature seekers. As India’s first national park, established in 1936, Corbett is legendary for being the launchpad of Project Tiger, and remains one of the best places in India to spot the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat.

Spread across 500+ square kilometers, the park features a rich variety of landscapes — from dense sal forests to grasslands and river belts. It’s also home to over 650 bird species, elephants, leopards, and crocodiles, making it a dream destination for photographers and adventure seekers alike.

Whether you choose an open jeep safari through Dhikala, Bijrani, or Jhirna zones, every ride offers a unique thrill. Early morning safaris are especially magical, with misty trails and the possibility of a tiger encounter just around the bend.

Quick Tips:

• Best Time to Visit: November to June (for tiger sightings, March–June is ideal)
• Safari Options: Jeep Safari, Canter Safari, Elephant Safari (limited)
• Booking Tip: Book at least 15–30 days in advance for preferred zones
