The best option to travel within the park is by using jeep safaris. It's the most convenient option available and it can complete a simple tour in a day.

Best Zone for safari

  • Bijrani
  • Dhikala
  • Dhela
  • Jhirna

With probably five to six zones which allow you for the jungle safari, the three zones which are particularly Bijrani, Dhikala and Jhirna are the best zones for the jungle ride. And there’s specific reason for the same, the Dhikala zone which comprises of the core and dense spot of the jungle is the habitat for most wildlife. Hence there are fair chances for the animas to be spotted whereasJhirna is the most popular as it’s opened round the year and Bijrani is the loved zone for presence of Royal Bengal Tigers.


Clothes to carry

It’s always good to carry clothes according to weather and season. Most people believe that Corbett park has a great season in summers as well because of its location. But, this is not true. Corbett is hot in summers so it’s good to carry cotton clothes if you are planning a trip during summer time.

And, winters are relatively colder so winter clothes are a must as you'll feel the chill in the air. Always check the temperature when you leave for your trip. Accommodate clothes that'll help you during your tour and journey. It's always good to be relaxed and comfortable.

The Jim Corbett National Park welcomes its visitors throughout the year. But winter happens to be the best season to explore this adventurous destination wherein the months of November and February are considered the most apt months of the year to book your tickets for the enduring expereince. And the second priority can be for summers where the animals can be spotted around the river quenching their thirst. As this is the time when all the zones can be found opened. Hence you can plan out the trip to the jungle at probably all the five zones of the park.

During summers, you can plan your trip in April or May. Though it'll be humid during this time, you can enjoy other adventure activities of Corbett National Park. Summer season is fun to travel around in jeep safari as well.

At times monsoon rains damage the path connecting other zones, so it depends on the weather. Dhikala zone is closed during monsoon season while Jhirna zone is open all year around. Bijrani and Durga Devi zones are always open but can be closed depending on severe weather conditions.

We went to Corbett during last week of March 2025 and I would love to share my unforgettable experience. We booked through Big Cats Safari and Kanika from Big Cats Safari team booked 2 nights stay in Gairal Rest House which included 4 safaris. She took care of everything from pickup to drop and everything was arranged perfectly. We didn't have to worry about anything. Mahender Ji who was our guide and who drove us in all the safaris was extremely skillful and gave his 100 percent and because of him we could see 5 tigers :-) in 4 safaris. Overall the experience was awesome and we would again love to book with Big Cats Safari in near future.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a jungle safari with Big Cats Safari Team at Jim Corbett Park, specifically in the Dhela Zone, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we were picked up, the ride was smooth and comfortable. The jeep was very clean, which made for a pleasant journey to the park. Azam, our driver, was an expert behind the wheel and alongwith our fantastic guide they demonstrated an incredible amount of knowledge about the park, its wildlife, and the various ecosystems within it.

Sagar Tuteja 5 star

Our recent safari was truly unforgettable, and a significant part of that was the seamless booking process. From the initial inquiry to the final confirmation, Ms. Sonal was incredibly helpful and efficient. She patiently answered all our questions and coordinated everything smoothly. What truly made our trip exceptional was Ms. Sonal's expert advice on selecting the right safari zone. Following her recommendation of the Phato Zone, we were thrilled to have a magnificent tiger sighting! This clearly demonstrates her deep understanding of the park and her commitment to ensuring a rewarding experience for visitors.

Anand Sawant 5 star

Our trip to Uttarakhand was unforgettable! We started in Nainital, enjoying a serene boat ride on the stunning Naini Lake, surrounded by lush hills. The vibrant Mall Road offered delightful shopping and local treats. Next, we visited Kausani, where breathtaking mountain views left us in awe. Our stay at Hotel Parijaat in Ranikhet was extraordinary, with exceptional service and comfort.The hotels we stayed at were amazing. The highlight was spotting a tiger at Jim Corbett National Park—an exhilarating experience! Thanks to Big Cats Safari, everything was smoothly organized, making our family trip truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Roohi at Corbett Big Cat Safari organised a great tour for us. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. We travelled from New Delhi Airport to JC, Bhimtal, Nainital. Communication with Roohi was great and she answered any questions I had quickly, provided driver details (inc phone number/ car type and car registration). It was lovely to meet her & the team when we visited. We were given accommodation options and chose two places - Jungle Book Resort: good rooms, food was ok. We also chose Hirshkhar Hotel at Bhimtal for some time in the mountains. The food was good and it offered lovely views of the Lake, however, the room was not great with the level of cleanliness unacceptable, particularly with regard to the toilet which we reported directly to the hotel, not the fault of Corbett Big Cat Safari!
