How to Reach Jim Corbett National Park from Srinagar

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

So, you have decided to escape Srinagar 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 Srinagar, 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 whole journey. Here is the best way to reach us from Srinagar.

🚗 Option 1: Driving from Srinagar

If you are a fan of long drives, the journey to Corbett is beautiful.

• The Route: If you are driving from Srinagar, 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 restaurants en route, especially around Gajraula and Moradabad, famous for their food.

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

🚆 Option 2: Taking the Train from Srinagar

For many travelers from Srinagar, the train is the most convenient option.

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

✈️ Option 3: Flights from Srinagar

If you are short on time, flying is the way to go.
