Things to Do in Jim Corbett

Wildlife & nature experiences

• Jeep & canter safaris — the main event, across Corbett's zones. See Jeep Safari & Canter Safari.
• Birdwatching — with 600+ species, Corbett is a birder's paradise. Sitabani and the riverbelts are especially rewarding; carry binoculars.
• Nature walks & river time — guided walks in buffer areas and time by the Kosi and Ramganga rivers offer a slower, peaceful side of Corbett.
• Night stay inside the forest — a Dhikala FRH stay is an experience in itself.

Local sightseeing

• Garjiya Devi Temple — a much-loved temple perched on a rock in the Kosi river near Garjiya; beautiful at sunset.
• Corbett Falls — a pretty seasonal waterfall set in forest, a nice short outing.
• Corbett Museum (Choti Haldwani) — the heritage home of Jim Corbett, with exhibits on his life and the park's history.
• Sitabani Forest & temples — quiet forest, river streams and old temples, ideal for a calm half-day.
• Kosi River spots — riverside points for relaxing, photos and birdwatching.

Activities & leisure

• Riverside resorts with pools, bonfires and in-house activities.
• Photography — early mornings and golden-hour light are superb.
• Cycling and short treks in buffer/forest-edge areas where permitted.
• Stargazing — low light pollution makes for clear night skies.

Nearby day trips

• Nainital — the popular lakeside hill station, a few hours away, easily combined with Corbett.
• Ranikhet / Kaladhungi — quieter hill destinations for those with extra days.

We can build a Corbett + Nainital combination or add any of these to your package. Just ask.

FAQs

What can I do apart from safari?
Plenty — temples, waterfalls, the Corbett Museum, riverside spots, birdwatching, nature walks and nearby hill stations.

Is Corbett good for non-safari travellers?
Yes. Riverside resorts, sightseeing and relaxed nature time make it enjoyable even without multiple safaris.
