JIM CORBETT NATIONAL PARK ... Destination to observe wild life




Jim Corbett National Park is one of the oldest national park of India in Uttarakhand  state.

The name is given after the tiger hunter turned as a conservationist Mr. Jim Corbett. The establishment year of the park is some around 1936. 





I have been visited this place in the Month of Feb which is one of the best time in the year. There are several guest house present within the park from different entrance but accommodation and vehicle services are basically provided by Forest department. Pre booking is always advice if you are planning to visit this place. For Dhikala entrance, the nearest railway station is Ramnagar, Uttarakhand which is few kilometers away from Nainital. You can travel either from Dehradun or Delhi. I use my own car to travel with my family till RamNagar. From RamNagar, I took forest zeep with trained driver to enter the park. I booked the forest guest house in Dhikala for 2nights. The forest vehicle will be with you throughout the stay at the guest house. There are many family rooms available with reasonable facilities. The guest house is surrounded with electrical fence to protect you from wild life.

  1. Very useful post. Thanks for sharing. Named after the famous British hunter turned author and naturalist, Corbett National park is one of the oldest National parks in India. The place attributes its diverse flora and fauna to its location, i.e. the sub-Himalayan belt. It is a major eco-tourism destination that features beautiful landscapes and dense forests.
