Jim Corbett National Park can be easily reached by train or self-drive vehicles from Delhi. The bus connectivity between Delhi and Ramnagar is not that good so we will not recommend traveling by bus. The driving time between Delhi and Jim Corbett is approximately 6 hours and depends on the individual. The train connectivity is superb as you have a train which takes you from to Jim Corbett in an overnight journey.

Best time to visit Corbett:

The best time to visit Jim Corbett is between October to June. The timings for the different ranges or zones in the forest differ. While the Jhirna zone allows visitors to visit Jim Corbett throughout the year, the Dhikala zone allows visitors only from mid-November to mid-June. The best time to visit Jim Corbett is during winters and early summers. However, if you wish to visit Jim Corbett during the non-peak seasons, monsoons are the most favorable for you.
