Why Choose a Jim Corbett Nainital Safari Tour
Corbett and Nainital are two of Uttarakhand's best-loved trips, and they sit on the same road. You can spend early mornings on a tiger safari in the sal forest, then trade the jungle for cool lake air in the Kumaon hills, without long transfers or a second planner.
- Jungle safari – jeep or canter safari in Corbett zones such as Bijrani, Jhirna or Dhikala
- Hill station – Naini Lake, Mall Road and viewpoints at around 2,000 m
- Jim Corbett's own trail – his former home, now the Corbett Museum, is on the way at Kaladhungi
- One local team – permits, hotels, cab and sightseeing planned together from Dhikuli
- Flexible order – we plan around your safari permit dates, not a fixed template
