Tour Overview

Two Iconic Destinations, One Unforgettable Trip

Uttarakhand's two crown jewels — Jim Corbett National Park and Nainital — lie just 65 km apart, yet they offer completely different experiences. Our 5-day tour masterfully combines both: you get the raw thrill of tiger country in Corbett, then the romantic calm of hill-station Nainital with its jewel-green lake, cable cars, and mountain cafes.

This is India's most popular nature + hills combination tour, and for good reason. Families with kids, honeymooning couples, and senior travellers all find it perfectly paced — never rushed, never boring.

FAQs

Common Questions

What's the best time to do the Corbett Nainital tour?

+

October–June is ideal. March–June offers best Corbett tiger sightings (hot and dry = animals come to water), while October–February is perfect for Nainital (clear skies, possible snowfall in Jan–Feb, Himalayan views). July–September is monsoon — Corbett core zone is closed, and Nainital experiences heavy rain, so we advise against this period for this combo tour.

Is Nainital safe for children and senior travellers?

+

Very safe and comfortable. Nainital is highly accessible — Mall Road and the lakeside are flat. The Eco Cave Garden and cable car are family-friendly. Seniors typically prefer the scenic boat ride and temple visits over the steep Tiffin Top hike (we arrange pony rides instead). Children love the zoo and the cable car. We adapt the itinerary specifically for your group's fitness and preferences.

Can this tour be extended or shortened?

+

Absolutely. We can extend to 7 days by adding a Dhikala FRH night or adding Mukteshwar/Bhimtal to the Nainital leg. We can shorten to 4 days (3N) by removing one destination day. We can also add Ranikhet or Kausani for a wider Kumaon circuit. All packages are custom-built — the 5D/4N is simply our most popular starting point. Tell us your dates and preferences and we'll design your perfect itinerary.
