Jeep Safari in Corbett

Tiger spotting is easily the most famous activity in any wildlife tourism destination in India. With over 147 Tigers in Corbett, it is still very much dependent on your timing and luck. Infact most of the people who have done their safari (in a regualr "touristy" manner) in Corbett will not encourage you to enter the jungle. I have done both elephant and jeep safari in Corbett at least 20 times and as luck would have it, I spotted the cat more often than expected. So go for it...!!!

Jeep Safari in Corbett: The best time to go to Corbett is between Nov - April. The park main gates are open during these months and it gets really hot in Corbett after April. Morning Jeep Safari from Bijrani Gate is booked in advance and there is very little chance to enter the gate if you dont have an advance booking. All the resorts in Corbett get the safari bookings done for their guests so you dont have to worry about it. Just furnish details like Name, Age, Address, Gender supported by a valid Government ID proof to the resort and they would be happy to arrange a permit for you. Make sure you carry the supporting ID Proof while you are entering the gate. A guide is compulsory to do safari in Corbett and you also need a 4X4 vehicle. Dont worry, all this will be arranged by your resort/hotel... Service is gettin better...Aha! The evening safari which starts at about 1500 hrs is booked on first come first serve basis and the bookings are done at The Booking Centre in Ramnagar. However, I would not recommend the Evening Safari.
