Begin your trip with a visit to the Jim Corbett Museum, a bungalow once owned by the famous hunter-turned-conservationist. Exhibits include his personal belongings, photographs, and letters. A great way to start learning about the wildlife and history of the area.
Take an early morning safari in the Bijrani Zone of the Jim Corbett National Park, known for its tigers, elephants, and deer. The park offers both jeep and elephant safaris. Make sure to book in advance.
Experience the thrill of white water rafting in the Kosi River, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Himalayan foothills. Perfect for families with kids over 6 years old, the 16 km stretch offers a mix of rapids and calm waters.
Visit the Corbett Waterfall, a serene and picturesque spot surrounded by dense forest. Then head to the Garjiya Devi Temple, located on a hilltop overlooking the Kosi River. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Garjiya and offers panoramic views of the region.
Take a guided walk through a nearby village to experience the culture and daily life of the locals. In the evening, watch a wildlife film screening at the Dhikala Range of the Jim Corbett National Park. There are several films to choose from, including those about tigers, elephants, and birds.
Explore the wilderness of the Dhikala Zone, one of the most popular zones of the Jim Corbett National Park. The zone offers jeep safaris, with the option of staying overnight in the forest rest house. Keep an eye out for tigers, leopards, and crocodiles.
Time to say goodbye to Jim Corbett! Depending on your flight schedule, you can either spend some time relaxing at your hotel or visit any attractions you may have missed earlier in the trip.
Consider visiting the Sitabani Forest Reserve, a lesser-known but highly-recommended alternative to the main park. For adventure enthusiasts, try zip-lining or rappelling at Kikar Lodge. For a more relaxed experience, enjoy a picnic or a fishing trip at Ramganga River.
