Overview & Highlights

This family trip pairs two nights in Nainital with two near Jim Corbett National Park. In Nainital you take a boat ride on the lake, ride the cable car to Snow View Point and visit the quieter lake at Bhimtal, then drive towards Corbett via Kaladhungi, where Jim Corbett's old home is now a museum. The next morning is a jeep safari through the park, with time to rest and enjoy the resort grounds afterwards. The pace is easy, with short drives and plenty of breaks, which suits children and grandparents. This trip is offered from November to June, when the Corbett safari zones are open.

  • Cable car ride to Snow View Point, subject to operation
