When to visit

The best time to visit Jim Corbett National Park is from November to June when the weather is pleasant and the park is open for visitors. The park is closed during the monsoon season from July to October due to heavy rainfall. The winter months of December to February are ideal for spotting wildlife as animals come out in search of water.

Getting around

Visitors can explore Jim Corbett National Park by booking jeep safaris or elephant rides through the park authorities. Private vehicles are not allowed inside the park to minimize disturbance to the wildlife. Walking safaris are also available for those looking for a more immersive experience. Local guides are recommended for a better understanding of the park's flora and fauna.

Traveller tips

It is advisable to book safari permits in advance as they tend to get sold out quickly, especially during peak season. Wear comfortable and earth-toned clothing to blend in with the surroundings and increase chances of wildlife sightings. Carry binoculars and cameras to capture the beauty of the park and its inhabitants. Respect the park rules and regulations to ensure the safety of both visitors and wildlife. Stay hydrated and carry snacks during safaris as food options inside the park are limited.
