From Harda to the Jungle: Your Complete Route Guide to Jim Corbett

So, you have decided to leave Harda and head to the land of Tigers. Great choice! But the first question is: "How do I get there?"

Jim Corbett National Park is located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand. Depending on where you live in Harda, the journey can be a scenic drive or a relaxing train ride.

At Corbett Online Booking, we don't just handle your safaris; we help you with the entire journey. Here is the best way to reach us from Harda.


🚗 Option 1: Driving from Harda

If you are a fan of road trips, the journey to Corbett is scenic.

  • The Route: If you are driving from Harda, your GPS destination should be Ramnagar, Uttarakhand.
  • Road Conditions: The highways leading to Uttarakhand are generally smooth. However, once you enter the hilly terrain near Ramnagar, drive cautiously.
  • Pit Stops: There are plenty of dhabas en route, especially around Gajraula and Moradabad, famous for their food.

Pro Tip for Harda Drivers:
Download the offline maps for the Ramnagar area before you leave Harda, as the mobile network can be patchy in the forest approach areas.

  • Nearest Station: Ramnagar (RMR). This station is the end point and is located right next to the park boundaries.
  • Connectivity: Check if there is a direct train from Harda to Ramnagar.
    • If Yes: Book early! These trains fill up fast.
    • If No: Book a train from Harda to Delhi or Moradabad. From there, it is a short bus ride to Corbett.
  • The Vibe: The train journey offers great views of the rural landscape as you approach the Himalayas.
