More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned car into humid air and the low, steady chorus of birds—Kosi River murmuring nearby, teak and sal trees leaning in like old guides. The drive from Delhi takes you through patchwork farmland and foothill ridges until the forest closes around the road and the city recedes.

History
The park was established in 1936 and named after Jim Corbett, a hunter-turned-conservationist who pioneered wildlife protection in India.
Conservation
Park management balances tourism with strict zoning and permit systems; visitors should follow guidelines to reduce disturbance—stay on tracks, pack out rubbish, and obey guide instructions.

Arrive Early for Best Light
Morning safaris (before 10am) have the highest chance of spotting active wildlife and give the best photo light; be at the boarding point 20 minutes early.
Layer for Rapid Temperature Change
Pre-dawn starts can be cool while midday heats quickly—bring a warm layer that packs small.
Keep Movement Minimal in Jeep
Stay seated and quiet in the vehicle; sudden movement or noise reduces sighting chances and can stress animals.
Carry Local Cash and ID
Some remote entry points or small vendors accept only cash and forest permits may need ID—carry both.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Good traction for short nature walks around the resort and on riverbanks.
Binoculars (8x–10x)
Essential for scanning open grasslands and river edges for wildlife from a distance.
Light waterproof jacket
Useful during sudden showers in the monsoon and early-morning mist.
