Useful tips for safari in Jim Corbett National Park

There are some things one must keep in mind while having safari in Jim Corbett National Park. Or, for that matter, any national park.

• Don’t make noise as it agitates the animals. Or, they might get over cautious and hide out of sight.
• Wear neutral color cloths that helps you blend with the surroundings. If it is difficult to spot you, the animals will have their guards down. And chances of spotting them increases.
• Don’t get down your vehicle . Remain seated in your vehicle in all conditions, maintain your calm in all situations, even if an animal comes too close or jumps on your vehicle 🙂
• Always go for safari with authorised vehicles which has trained driver and guide accompanying it.
• It’s not advisable to take very little kids (< 4 years old) on jungle safari. As the roads are very bumpy and almost non-existent. Which can be a very rough experience for them and cause stomach upset, motion sickness etc.
• If you are very prone to motion sickness and like to avoid bumpy rides then don’t plan for the core zones of safari inside the jungle.
• Stay at least for two nights where you want to take safari. As the safaris generally happen early in the morning or later in the afternoon. And span around 3 hours or more. So, the best itinerary will be to reach your destination on day 1. Relax and rest. Then take an early morning safari on day 2. The chances of spotting animals is highest in morning time. After coming back from safari you can rest for the day and catchup on your sleep. And then checkout on day 3.
• Private vehicles are not allowed inside Jim Corbett National Park.

What is the best time to visit Jim Corbett National Park

Except monsoon season, you can visit Jim Corbett National Park anytime of the year.

Summers are harsh. The temperature starts rising from the middle of March, and by April end or May, it even crosses 40 degree C. If you can bear the heat, summers make for a good time to spot the animals. As they tend to come out of their habitat more often, particularly to the bank of river and other water sources for water.

Winter season from November to Mid March makes for pleasant climate to explore Jim Corbett National Park.

From June to October, the core zones of Jim Corbett National Park remain closed for safari. So, plan your trip accordingly if you are visiting Jim Corbett National Park for safari. We visited here towards the last week of October. However, after gathering all the information, we decided to opt out of safari. Because, one, we were staying in Jim Corbett National Park for only one night. Which means it would be really hectic for us to take the safari. And number two, the core zones were not yet open which means chances of tiger spotting were bleak. We had a wonderful tiger safari experience in Bandhavgarh National Park on our MP road trip and were still content with it. So, we decided to give it a pass this time. And instead, enjoy a staycation in Jim Corbett National Park .

Where to stay in Jim Corbett National Park

From Government guest houses to luxury resort, Jim Corbett National Park has several stay options for all travellers. Some of them are located right on the highway while for some others, you might have to take a little detour and drive a little inside. Some resorts and properties are located right besides the Kosi river, with private access to the river banks. Depending on what is your prime goal for visiting Jim Corbett National Park, you can book an accommodation accordingly.

• If you are going for a safari, book a stay near to your zone of safari which will help you with reaching the safari point without much hassle.
• Otherwise, if you want to enjoy a staycation, book a resort near the river bank or one inside the jungle surrounded by greenery so that you can enjoy your staycation in the nature to its best.

We stayed at Tarangi Resort Jim Corbett and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This property had river access, nice campus with lots of activities arranged for the day, nice food and spacious rooms. There is a safari starting point right outside the property entrance.

Hope this information helps you plan your safari in Jim Corbett National Park optimally.
