Ramnagar forms the headquarters of Corbett National Park and is easily accessible from Delhi by Road and Rail. Ramnagar is at a distance of roughly 250 kms from Delhi and even if you go easy on speed it should not take you more than 6 hours to reach the land of Tigers. Corbett by Rail:
Nearest Railway Station: Ramnagar
Train: Ranikhet Express
Days of Run: All 7 daysClass Available: 2A/C, and Sleeper
Book Tickets Online: http://www.irctc.co.in/
TIP: Ranikhet Express leaves Delhi around 10 p.m. and reaches Ramnagar at 5 a.m. Make sure you request the hotel for station transfers. During winters its dark at that time and you might not get a cab/taxi.
Corbett by road from Delhi:
From Delhi, take National Highway NH 24 for Moradabad via Hapur Bypass and Gajraula. Please DO NOT enter Moradabad City. Take right for Moradabad Bypass (Landmark: Hotel Best Western). Please note that Moradabad Bypass is a toll road. After crossing the Bypass, take LEFT U-turn for Kashipur and after 1-2 kms the road will take compulsory right turn. Follow the road upto Kashipur and keep going straight for Ramnagar. Once you are at Ramnagar, ask anyone for directions to your resort/hotel.

TIP: Please note that uptill Moradabad bypass the traffic situation is pretty bad. I have heard stories of people getting stuck in traffic jams for 4 - 5 hours. Garh Mukteshwar is one area that gets flooded by people during Hindu festivals and it could prove to be a nightmare if you are travelling around that time. Unfortunately, all the alternate routes are as bad. I would recommend early morning travel, leaving Delhi at about 6 a.m. in the morning OR leave late in the night. Also please do not travel in the night during the "Kaavar" period. Those guys are nasty and occupy the road more than the tyres.
Stop overs:
1. Tadka Dhaba by Bhajan at BP Gas Station in Garaula serves good Dhaba food. Open 24 hrs.
2. Meriton in Gajraula is like Haldiram of Delhi. Serves Chaat papri, Chhole Bhaturay, Sandiwiches, Indian food, etc. Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
3. 24 hrs restaurant at The Best Western Hotel on Gajraula Moradabad Highway serves very good food along with excellent desserts.

Dear Naukuchiatal,
just a humble request, if you can comment a bit on Road condition, and what you think the average speed can be to reach Corbet.
thanks and Appreciate
Anand
Thanx for the immaculate directions to Corbett. I haven't found such valuable info on any site as yet.
You got it spot on with the dining options also. We ate at Tadka Dhaba and Meriton both. The food was lovely. I prefer Meriton though.
My companions were super impressed by my planning of the trip, directions as well addresses of dhabas. All thanx to your blog.
Any chance of me finding info on Leh on ur blog??
Dear Naukuchiatal buff,
Hi! How do you compare Tarangi Resorts, Corbett with Infinity Resorts, Corbett.
Regards,
Tarun.
To be precise, Tarangi is a better property than Infinity.....Difference between both properties are negligible...I being a consolidator of Hotel Rooms across India, Rgds, Abhijeet
Tarangi Resort is a Gem and not a resort.
