Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact distance and travel time from Delhi to Jim Corbett National Park?
The distance from Delhi to Jim Corbett National Park is approximately 250 kilometers, with travel time typically ranging from 5 to 6 hours via the most direct route through Moradabad and Kashipur. This duration can vary based on several factors including traffic conditions, especially around Delhi and Moradabad, the specific entry gate of Jim Corbett you're heading to (Dhikala, Bijrani, Jhirna, etc.), and seasonal road conditions. During peak weekend times or holidays, an additional buffer of 30-60 minutes is advisable.
Is it possible to visit Jim Corbett as a day trip from Delhi?
While technically possible, we don't recommend attempting Jim Corbett as a day trip from Delhi due to the significant travel time involved. The round trip alone would take 10-12 hours, leaving very limited time for wildlife experiences. Additionally, wildlife safaris in Jim Corbett operate during specific morning (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM) and evening (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM) slots, which would be difficult to align with Delhi departure and return times. For a meaningful experience, we recommend at least a one-night stay, ideally two nights, to fully appreciate the wildlife and natural beauty of the national park.
How far in advance should I book a taxi from Delhi to Jim Corbett?
We recommend booking your Delhi to Jim Corbett taxi at least 3-7 days in advance during regular periods and 7-14 days ahead during peak tourism seasons (October to March, especially long weekends and holidays). Early booking ensures vehicle availability, preferred car type, and often better rates. For weekend trips during tiger spotting season (November to March), advance booking of 2-3 weeks is highly recommended as both transportation and accommodation in Jim Corbett area get fully booked quickly. Last-minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated but might involve premium rates or limited vehicle options.
Do your taxis provide pickup from Delhi Airport to Jim Corbett directly?
Yes, we provide direct pickup services from both Delhi International Airport (IGI Terminal 1 and 3) and Domestic Airport to Jim Corbett National Park. Our airport pickup service includes:
Free waiting time of up to 60 minutes after flight landing
Flight tracking to adjust for delays
Meet and greet service with your name placard
Assistance with luggage
Complimentary water bottles
Option to make brief stops for meals or refreshments
This service is ideal for international tourists who want to head directly to wildlife experiences without spending time in Delhi. Airport pickup has a nominal additional charge of ₹300-500 depending on the terminal.
What are the best areas to stay in Jim Corbett, and can your drivers recommend accommodations?
Jim Corbett offers several distinctive areas for accommodation, each with unique advantages:
Dhikala Zone: Located in the core area with the best wildlife sightings, but accommodations are limited to government forest lodges that require booking months in advance.
Bijrani Zone: Excellent for tiger sightings with numerous private resorts ranging from budget to luxury.
Jhirna Area: Open year-round, including monsoon season, with more affordable accommodation options.
Corbett City (Ramnagar): Numerous hotels and resorts with easy access to park entry points and local amenities.
Our drivers can provide recommendations based on your budget and preferences, and assist with last-minute availability checks through our network of partner properties. While we don't charge commission for these recommendations, we suggest properties where our travelers have reported positive experiences.
Can the same taxi be used for local sightseeing around Jim Corbett after drop-off?
Yes, we offer several options for retaining your taxi for local sightseeing around Jim Corbett:
Extended Package: Keep the same vehicle and driver throughout your stay with charges of ₹2,000-3,000 per day depending on vehicle type. This includes up to 80 km of local travel per day.
On-Call Service: Have the driver stay in Ramnagar and call them as needed for local trips at ₹1,500 per day plus ₹15-20 per kilometer.
Return Pickup: If you only need occasional transportation, we can arrange specific pickups for activities like safaris or visits to nearby attractions.
All these options should be arranged at the time of booking to ensure driver availability. The extended package is particularly popular as having a consistent driver familiar with your preferences enhances the experience, and the driver can help coordinate with safari jeeps and guides.
How safe is the road journey from Delhi to Jim Corbett?
The Delhi to Jim Corbett route is generally safe and well-traveled, with the majority of the journey on national highways. However, like any road trip in India, certain precautions and awareness enhance safety:
The Delhi-Moradabad stretch can have heavy truck traffic; our drivers are trained to navigate this safely
The final approach to Ramnagar involves some winding roads through forested areas
Winter fog can reduce visibility on the initial Delhi-Ghaziabad stretch (December-January)
During monsoon (July-September), occasional landslides may occur near Ramnagar
Travel Taxi prioritizes safety with:
Only experienced drivers assigned to wildlife destination routes
Regular vehicle maintenance and safety inspections
Real-time tracking of all vehicles
Driver rotation for long journeys to prevent fatigue
24/7 emergency support
The route has adequate medical facilities in towns like Moradabad and Ramnagar, and our drivers are familiar with the locations of hospitals and emergency services throughout the journey.
What should I pack for my trip to Jim Corbett considering the taxi journey?
For a comfortable Delhi to Jim Corbett taxi journey and wildlife experience, we recommend packing:
For the Journey:
Motion sickness medication if you're prone to car sickness on winding roads
Light snacks and water (though we provide complimentary water)
Travel pillow for comfort during the 5-6 hour ride
Entertainment options (the cellular network is reliable for most of the journey)
Warm layers if traveling in winter, especially for early morning departures
For Jim Corbett Visit:
Neutral-colored clothing (olive green, brown, beige) for safaris
Binoculars for wildlife spotting
Camera with zoom lens if you're interested in photography
Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen
Insect repellent
Light jacket/windcheater (mornings can be cool even in summer)
Comfortable walking shoes
Our taxis have adequate trunk space for standard luggage, but please inform us in advance if you're carrying oversized items like professional camera equipment or trekking gear.
Does Travel Taxi help with safari bookings in Jim Corbett?
While safari bookings in Jim Corbett officially need to be made through the forest department's online portal (often months in advance for popular zones), we offer assistance to our customers in several ways:
Our "Corbett Safari Special" package includes guidance on booking process and zone selection
Drivers can connect you with local contacts who may know about last-minute cancellations
We maintain relationships with authorized safari operators for buffer zone safaris
For guests staying 3+ nights, we can help arrange alternative wildlife experiences if core zone safaris are unavailable
Our drivers can suggest optimal timing for different zones based on recent wildlife sighting patterns
Please note that official safari bookings can only be made through authorized channels, and we encourage advance planning, especially during peak season (November-March).
