Useful Information:
Daytime visitors are only permitted to travel in the Bijrani
sector and day permits are issued at the Ramnagar office.
Overnight visitors to Corbett require an entry permit as
well as reserved accommodation in one of the guesthouses.
Advance reservations are available at the Field Director's
office in Ramnagar.
When to visit:
The park is open from mid-November to mid-June. The months
from March to June get very hot but are considered the best
time to view the animals as they come down more frequently
to the water to drink.
Getting there:
Air: The nearest airport is a small airport at
Phoolbagh, Pantnagar, 51 km away.
Rail:The closest station is at Ramnager, 21 kms
distant. Ranikhet Express, which leaves the Old Delhi
Railway Station at night, is convenient as it reaches
Ramnagar early next morning.
Road:Access to the park is from Ramnagar and buses
are available to Dhikala in the park. Taxis can also be
hired here. It is also feasible to drive down from New
Delhi. The 300-km drive takes six hours, is extremely
picturesque and gives glimpses of various regions of Uttar
Pradesh from the most industrialised to the agricultural and
the remote. Buses run from New Delhi to Ramnagar but unless
it is a luxury bus the ride can be extremely uncomfortable.
