How to reach Corbett National Park?

Corbett National Park and is easily accessible from Delhi by Road and Rail. Ramnagar is at a distance of roughly 250 kms from Delhi and even if you go easy on speed it should not take you more than 6 hours to reach the land of Tigers. If you are going first time to Corbett National Park and other destination in North India / Uttrakhand (Nainital - Ranikhet - Almora - Kausani - Corbett) area so plan you trip smartly because you can save your time and money through a good route map. We suggest to take a help of travel experts because they regularly deal in these routes and hotels.   



Corbett by Rail:
Nearest Railway Station: Ramnagar
Train: Ranikhet Express
Days of Run: All 7 days Class Available: 2A/C, and Sleeper
Book Tickets Online: http://www.irctc.co.in/


Note: Ranikhet Express leaves Delhi around 10 p.m. and reaches Ramnagar at 5 a.m. Make sure you request the hotel for station transfers. During winters its dark at that time and you might not get a cab/taxi.


Corbett by road from Delhi:From Delhi, take National Highway NH 24 for Moradabad via Hapur Bypass and Gajraula. Please DO NOT enter Moradabad City. Take right for Moradabad Bypass (Landmark: Hotel Best Western). Please note that Moradabad Bypass is a toll road. After crossing the Bypass, take LEFT U-turn for Kashipur and after 1-2 kms the road will take compulsory right turn. Follow the road upto Kashipur and keep going straight for Ramnagar. Once you are at Ramnagar, ask anyone for directions to your resort/hotel.


Note: Please note that uptill Moradabad bypass the traffic situation is pretty bad. I have heard stories of people getting stuck in traffic jams for 4 - 5 hours. Garh Mukteshwar is one area that gets flooded by people during Hindu festivals and it could prove to be a nightmare if you are travelling around that time. Unfortunately, all the alternate routes are as bad. I would recommend early morning travel, leaving Delhi at about 6 a.m. in the morning OR leave late in the night. Also please do not travel in the night during the "Kaavar" period. Those guys are nasty and occupy the road more than the tyres.


Stop overs:
1. Tadka Dhaba by Bhajan at BP Gas Station in Garaula serves good Dhaba food. Open 24 hrs.
2. Meriton in Gajraula is like Haldiram of Delhi. Serves Chaat papri, Chhole Bhaturay, Sandiwiches, Indian food, etc. Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
3. 24 hrs restaurant at The Best Western Hotel on Gajraula Moradabad Highway serves very good food along with excellent desserts.
