You would see hills, marshy lands, lakes, grasslands, and riverine belts while in Corbett National Park. Such topographical diversity paired with varied wildlife makes the national park worth the hype. Jeep safari is one the most popular experience for travellers.
Jim Corbett National Park is a paradise for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. One way to experience nature to the fullest at Corbett is through a jungle safari. There are three types of safari options that you will find here are as follows:
Open jeep safari is the most popular safari option. A jeep can accommodate 6 adults and 2 kids at a time. The jeep safaris are conducted twice a day. These safaris are allowed in all zones except for Dhikala Zone. Visitors need to stay in forest rest houses of the Dhikala zone to experience jeep safari in Dhikala.
Yet another immersive experience, the canter safari and conducted and operated by forest officials. These safaris go deep into the wilderness of Jim Corbett. Open roof canter safari can carry a group of 16-18 people. These safaris last for a good five hours and are safe. Canter safaris are only conducted in the Dhikala zone of Corbett National Park.
Although banned in 2018 as per the court’s order, they still function discreetly at the periphery zones of Jim Corbett. This safari can be booked on arrival. Generally, these safaris last for an hour and can be a vivid experience in itself. Do not expect an elephant safari in the forest as these are short rides conducted nearby main roads.
There are three different stages of booking an online safari in Corbett. Firstly, you need an authorized safari permit which can be booked on the official website of Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve.
For both, the jeep safari and night stay at the park you need a permit from the aforementioned website. After the permit, you will have to book the jeep and guide separately for your safari. Jeeps need to book in advance and a guide can be booked on arrival. The booking needs to be made well in advance.
We advise a reputed travel agency like us who can organise the entire trip for you without any hassle.
