Jim Corbett National Park Tour Packages

Visa and entry

Indian citizens do not need a visa; carry a government photo ID such as Aadhaar or a passport for hotels and flights.

Health and safety

Travel insurance is a good idea, especially for adventure activities. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. Some places here are at high altitude: rest on arrival, drink plenty of water and ascend gradually.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Tipping is not compulsory; around 5–10% in restaurants and a small tip for drivers and guides is appreciated.

Best time to visit

November to June. Dhikala and most zones close in the monsoon; Jhirna stays open.

Getting around

Dehradun (Jolly Grant) is the main airport; Pantnagar serves the Kumaon hills. Overnight trains from Delhi reach Haridwar, Dehradun and Kathgodam.

Local etiquette

• Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
• Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.

What to pack

Pack warm layers, a down jacket and gloves, a light jacket or sweater for cool evenings, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for religious sites, a compact umbrella or rain jacket and comfortable walking shoes.

Phone and internet

Mobile data is good in towns and cities. Coverage can be patchy in remote, hill and forest areas, so download offline maps before you set off.

Budget

We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
