On the footsteps of Jim Corbett Tour

Naturalist Edward James Corbett had a way about the forest which he nurtured with fine finesse. As a child, it was around the age of seven that Jim tuned his sense towards the natural world. The species that he encountered, were viewed with great interest and admiration and regarded them as a marvel of nature.

As you embark on this Jim Corbett Tour in Corbett national park, navigating the very trails undertaken by the renowned conservationist, you tune into the very world he witnessed with his very own eyes. After all, It’s a landscape that harbours some of the most remarkable species of the Himalayan foothills that will take your breath away. Take this breathtaking Jim Corbett Tour within Corbett National Park, the land of the roar, trumpet and song.

Detailed Itinerary

On the footsteps of Jim Corbett Tour

Day 01 : Arrive in New Delhi (By Flight)
Meet our representative on arrival at New Delhi International Airport. He will transfer you to the Hotel, assist you with the check in procedure, handover and explain all the travel related documents. Overnight stay at the Hotel.
This marks the beginning of your Jim Corbett Tiger Safari Tour. Early morning, depart for Corbett National Park (275 kms) via Kaladhungi (The residence of Jim Corbett then, which is now a museum). On arrival, check into the lodge. In the evening, head out for a nature walk by the river close to the lodge. Dinner and overnight stay at lodge outside the national park.

Kaladhungi gets its name from Kala (black) and Dhunga (stone), which was found here and used to smelt iron. Corbett shot the last cattle lifter in Kaladhungi in 1946 at the request of the villagers. Earlier, when the the road from Nainital to Kathgodam was built, Kaladhungi served as a resting point for travelers who would undertake an arduous climb to Nainital. Dandies and ponies were used by the elderly and children. Corbett walked along this route several times to attend meetings at Nainital. In 1922 Jim Corbett built this Irish-styled cottage spread over fourteen bighas for him and his family. Before leaving for Kenya in 1947, he handed this house to a friend with hope of returning to India.

However, Corbett could never come back and the property was later sold to the forest department to be converted into a museum in 1967 as homage to the great conservationist. It is now managed by the Corbett Tiger Reserve. The museum/Interpretation centre has been renovated and thematically narrates the life of Jim Corbett. It shows his association with people and his contribution as a conservationist. It also possesses some memorabilia associated with him.
On this morning, walk the very trail on which Jim Corbett shot the Man-Eater of Mohan. Post Lunch, visit the Powalgarh Sanctuary to see the area where the Corbett shot Powalgrah Tiger (the largest Tiger he saw and shot). All meals and overnight stay at lodge in Ramnagar.
Morning tiger safari in corbett to Jhirna zone and post breakfast, visit Choti Haldwani, the village of Jim Corbett. Lunch in the village as you interact with the locals as they share legends of Jim Corbett. Chhoti Haldwani is a small village that was once under the jurisdiction of Jim Corbett. He possessed the small hamlet of Chhoti Haldwani even after he had left India. He made his tenants the owner of their land and continued to pay land revenues on their behalf. The village completed 100 years of its existence in the year 2015. Corbett even made efforts to develop agriculture in Chhoti Haldwani so that the villagers had enough to sustain themselves and also earn money by selling the surplus.
