After a smooth arrival at Jim Corbett Airport, the group will be welcomed at the spacious Corbett Jungle Retreat where a hearty brunch awaits. While settling into their rooms, an enthusiastic guide will lead a brief orientation at the Corbett Visitor Centre, highlighting park rules and safety tips. The afternoon will then begin with a gentle 2-km nature walk through the lodge's private buffer zone, offering early glimpses of the park's famed wildlife and the melodic calls of resident birds.
In the early afternoon, the group will board a comfortable 4x4 for a guided Kosi River boat safari, gliding past riverbanks where spotted deer and kingfishers dart among reeds. Afterwards, a short drive leads to the historic Corbett Museum, where a curator will share stories of the legendary hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett and the park's conservation legacy, ending with a tea tasting featuring locally sourced tea gardens.
As dusk settles, the group will head to the Sanjay Van Ridge for a twilight 4x4 safari, hoping to spot leopards and barking deer as the forest awakens with nocturnal sounds. Afterwards, a rustic dinner will be enjoyed at the Ranthambore Lodge's open-air pavilion, featuring authentic Kumaoni dishes, followed by a bonfire storytelling session where a forest ranger recounts the legend of the Madan Singh spirit.
