ABOUT THE PARK

India's Oldest National Park, Still Wild At Heart

Set against the Kumaon foothills, Jim Corbett National Park is where dense sal forests, open grassland and the Ramganga river come together to support one of India's richest wildlife populations. It is a place built for slow mornings, sharp eyes and the quiet thrill of the unexpected.

From the tiger that gives the park its reputation to elephants, leopards and hundreds of resident and migratory birds, every safari here feels different. This is nature exactly as it should be — untamed, unhurried and endlessly rewarding.

BEFORE YOU GO

Travel Tips

A few things that make the difference on a jungle safari.

Book Permits Early

Safari zones run on limited daily permits — confirm dates well in advance.

Wear Neutral Colours

Earthy, muted clothing blends into the forest better than bright colours.

Carry Binoculars

Many of the best sightings are distant — a good pair makes all the difference.

Start Early

Dawn safaris consistently see more wildlife activity than any other time.

Pack Layers

Mornings stay cold even in summer — a light jacket is worth carrying.

Stay Quiet On Safari

Low voices and stillness improve your odds of a close sighting.

Carry ID Proof

Valid identification is required at park entry checkpoints.

Respect The Wildlife

Keep a safe distance and follow your naturalist's instructions at all times.
