Himalayan Escape: Nainital & Jim CorbettA compact Himalayan-foothills escape combining a colonial-era lake town with safari time in India's oldest national park — the region our own team knows best.
Nainital and Corbett sit close together in the Uttarakhand foothills, so this route delivers both mountain scenery and wildlife without long transfers, and draws on our team's local, on-the-ground knowledge of the area.
Private transfer from Delhi to Nainital (approx. 6–7 hours); overnight stay by the lake.
Boating on Naini Lake, a viewpoint excursion to Naina Peak or Tiffin Top, and a walk along the Mall Road.
Drive to the Corbett area (approx. 3–3.5 hours) and check in to a wildlife-lodge-style property.
Morning and afternoon jeep safari drives inside Jim Corbett National Park with a local naturalist.
An optional early safari, then the drive back to Delhi (approx. 6–7 hours).
Transfer to Delhi airport for your onward or international flight (or extend into a Golden Triangle itinerary from here).
A lake-view hotel in Nainital; a wildlife-lodge-style property near Corbett, twin-sharing with breakfast included.
Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver throughout; open-top jeep safaris inside the park.
Daily breakfast included; full board typically included at the Corbett lodge; other lunches and dinners at your own choice.
November to June (Jim Corbett's Dhikala zone typically closes during the monsoon, mid-June to mid-November; other zones may remain open — we confirm exact dates when you book).
Road travel in the hills between Delhi, Nainital and Corbett takes longer per kilometre than plains driving; timings above are built in accordingly.
Can be extended with Mussoorie or Rishikesh, or connected onward into a Golden Triangle itinerary from Delhi.
Yes — the pace is gentle and distances manageable; let us know ages when enquiring so we can tailor activities.
We cannot guarantee this on any safari — see our wildlife sighting disclaimer. Corbett has a healthy tiger population but sightings depend on the animals' natural movement.
