Jim Corbett National Park
Jim Corbett National Park is one of India's best-known wildlife reserves, set in the foothills of the Himalaya in Uttarakhand.
Corbett is more than one park gate. The Kosi valley, temples, waterfalls, museum and village landscapes around Ramnagar fill the hours between safaris.

Every place on this page also appears on the interactive map on our homepage, so you can see how far things are from Ramnagar and from each other. Distances are shown only where we hold a figure we trust.

Jim Corbett National Park is one of India's best-known wildlife reserves, set in the foothills of the Himalaya in Uttarakhand.

Most trips to Corbett begin and end in Ramnagar, a small town on the Kosi River in Nainital district.

Garjiya Devi Temple stands on a large rock rising from the Kosi River and is one of the best-known places of worship in the Corbett area.

Corbett Falls is a scenic stop on the Kaladhungi road side of Corbett, popular as a short outing between safaris.

The Kosi is the river you cross and follow when you travel between Ramnagar and the resort stretch of Dhikuli and Garjia.


Dhangari is the gate through which visitors enter for Dhikala. Reporting there on time matters more than almost anything else on a Dhikala day.

Two safaris and a good night's sleep is a fine Corbett trip. If you have more time, here is how people fill it.

Corbett rewards patience. The quieter moments — a hornbill overhead, an early river mist — are often what people remember.

Corbett is mostly about wildlife, but some properties offer light adventure activities and nearby regions offer more.
