Day 02 : New Delhi – Corbett (275 kms/6 hrs drive)
Your unforgettable Jim Corbett tiger safari experience begins today. Early in the morning, depart from New Delhi for Corbett National Park (approx. 275 km), travelling via Kaladhungi — once the residence of the legendary Jim Corbett, now preserved as a museum in his honour.
Upon arrival, check into your jungle lodge nestled near the edge of the national park. Later in the evening, enjoy a peaceful nature walk along the riverbank near the lodge, soaking in the sights and sounds of the wild. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge located just outside the park.
Kaladhungi holds a special place in Corbett’s legacy. Named after the “Kala Dhunga” (black stone) once used for smelting iron, this quaint town is where Jim Corbett shot his last man-eater in 1946. Historically, it also served as a resting point for travellers journeying from Kathgodam to Nainital.
In 1922, Corbett built a charming Irish-style cottage here for his family, which he later handed over before departing for Kenya in 1947. Though he never returned, the house was transformed into a museum in 1967 by the Forest Department, now managed by the Corbett Tiger Reserve. The museum, recently renovated, offers a thematic insight into Jim Corbett’s life — showcasing his conservation work, close association with local communities, and personal memorabilia.
Accommodation: Jim’s Jungle Retreat (or similar)
Day 03 : In Corbett National Park
As you walk the very trail where Jim Corbett famously tracked and shot the Man-Eater of Mohan. This historic path offers a unique opportunity to connect with the legacy of India’s most revered hunter-turned-conservationist.
After lunch, head to Powalgarh Conservation Reserve, a region deeply etched in Corbett’s chronicles. It was here that he encountered and shot the legendary Powalgarh tiger — the largest tiger he ever saw. The forested landscape still echoes the stories of Corbett’s daring pursuits and his deep respect for the wild.
Return to your lodge in Ramnagar for a hearty dinner and a peaceful overnight stay amid the wilderness.
Accommodation: Lodge in Ramnagar
Day 04 : In Corbett National Park
Begin your day with an early morning tiger safari in Corbett’s Jhirna Zone, offering a chance to spot the park’s rich wildlife. After breakfast, visit Choti Haldwani, the historic village once owned by Jim Corbett. Enjoy a traditional lunch in the village as locals share fascinating tales and legends of Corbett’s life and legacy.
Choti Haldwani, which Corbett retained even after leaving India, reflects his deep bond with the community. He transferred land ownership to his tenants and continued paying land revenue on their behalf. The village, which turned 100 in 2015, stands as a testament to Corbett’s efforts to support sustainable agriculture and uplift the lives of its people.
Day 05 : In Corbett National Park
Start your day with a morning jeep tiger safari in the Dhela Zone of Corbett National Park, known for its scenic beauty and diverse wildlife. After breakfast, drive to Nainital, the birthplace of Jim Corbett, and the town where he spent his formative years.
Throughout his life, Corbett resided in several homes, including Cliffton, Mount Pleasant, and the famous Gurney House—a must-visit for every Corbett admirer. Other notable residences include his home in Mokameh Ghat (Bihar), Arundale and the Corbett Museum in Kaladhungi, and the Outspan Hotel in Nyeri, Africa. Most homes in Nainital are located on Ayarpatta Hill, considered safe after the 1880 landslide.
These colonial-era houses not only tell the story of Jim Corbett but also reflect British architectural design, using materials and elements suited to the local climate—cool in summer, warm in winter.
Day 06 : In Corbett National Park
Begin your morning with a thrilling jeep tiger safari in the Bijrani Zone of Corbett National Park. At the park gate, transfer to a safari vehicle with your baggage.

Upon arrival, check into the iconic Dhikala Forest Rest House. After lunch, head out for an afternoon safari in this wildlife-rich region. Staying inside the park is a rare privilege unique to Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve. The rest house, set along the banks of the Ramganga River, offers panoramic views of the Himalayan foothills.
Please note that alcohol and smoking are strictly prohibited. Return from safari by sunset, followed by dinner and an overnight stay at the Forest Rest House.

Day 07 : In Corbett National Park
Enjoy both morning and afternoon jeep tiger safaris in the heart of Jim Corbett National Park, with all meals and overnight stay at the Forest Rest House. Begin your day at sunrise, venturing deep into the forest as the jungle awakens with the roar of tigers, the trumpet of elephants, and the melodic calls of birds—earning Corbett its famed description as “the land of roar, trumpet, and song.”
This iconic park was the launch site of India’s ambitious Project Tiger, making it a landmark in conservation history. The rich biodiversity here is supported by its unique location at the foothills of the central Himalayas, where Himalayan and peninsular species of flora and fauna coexist in harmony.
Return from your evening safari at sunset. Dinner and overnight stay at the Forest Rest House.

In 1952, it was renamed Ramganga National Park, and later, in tribute to the legendary Jim Corbett—hunter, naturalist, author, and photographer—the park was officially named Corbett National Park. Corbett played a vital role in the park’s establishment and in defining its boundaries, leaving behind a lasting legacy in India’s wildlife conservation history.
