Suits
Families, corporate offsites from Delhi NCR, wildlife-curious friend groups

Jim Corbett National Park, about 5 to 6 hours from Delhi, is split into safari zones such as Bijrani, Jhirna, Dhela, Dhikala and Garjiya. Most groups do a morning or afternoon open-jeep safari in one zone, with tigers, elephants, deer and a lot of birdlife on the cards.

Safari permits are released online by the forest department and popular zones sell out on weekends and holidays. We plan the zone and slot with your stay near Ramnagar and transport from your city, then book the safari through the official process.

Good to know

  • Each safari jeep seats a small group, so a large group needs several jeeps and permits
  • Carry a government ID for every person; the permit is issued in individual names
  • Some zones close during the monsoon; Dhikala, the core zone, typically opens from mid November
  • A tiger sighting is never guaranteed, any honest operator will say the same

For groups

  • Safari permits are per jeep, so plan jeeps for the headcount before you fix dates
  • Weekend permits go first; book as soon as dates are firm
  • Resorts near Ramnagar suit offsites, with meeting space and lawns for team activities
  • Morning safaris start very early, so keep the night before light

Getting to Jim Corbett

Jungle safari in Jim Corbett: questions people ask

Safari cost is set per jeep by zone and type, plus the permit, and is shared by the people in the jeep. We show safari permits and jeeps as separate lines in the itemised quote.
Permits are booked online through the Uttarakhand forest department's official system, in individual names with ID. We book them for your group along with the stay and transport.
Bijrani and Jhirna are popular for day safaris, and Jhirna and Dhela stay open more of the year. Dhikala is the core zone with forest lodge stays and opens later in the season. We suggest a zone by dates and group size.
November to June. Summer, especially April to June, is often best for sightings as animals come to water, while November to February is pleasant and green.
