An absolutely flawless experience. We felt like royalty from the moment we landed in Delhi until our departure.

Uttarakhand · 7 Days
Uttarakhand Family Wildlife Holiday
A family-paced route — one night in Rishikesh, two in Nainital, three at Corbett with two safaris.
Day by Day
7 Days, In Full
A shorter, gentler version of the wildlife route, paced for children. One night in Rishikesh to arrive and see the ghats without the full rafting programme. Two nights in Nainital, most of it spent on and around the lake — boating, the promenade, and an easy ropeway ride to Snow View. Three nights at Corbett, with two jeep safaris timed to the cooler morning and late-afternoon slots, and plenty of unstructured time at the riverside lodge in between.
Rishikesh
Arrive in Rishikesh
The usual way in is a drive from Dehradun's Jolly Grant airport, about forty-five minutes, or from Delhi, about five and a half hours by road. The Dehradun–Haridwar rail line also stops close by. You settle in by the Ganges in the afternoon. The evening is for a first walk across Laxman Jhula and along the ghats, ending at Triveni Ghat for the aarti as the light drops.
Rishikesh → Nainital
Rishikesh to Nainital — Direct via the Kumaon Foothills
A direct transfer of around seven hours, skirting the plains through Haldwani and Kathgodam before climbing into the Kumaon hills. It is the route used on itineraries that go straight from Rishikesh to the lakes and Corbett without a Mussoorie stop. You arrive at Nainital in the late afternoon or early evening, with time for a first walk beside the lake before dinner.
Nainital
Nainital — the Lake and the Naina Devi Temple
A morning on Naini Lake itself, a rowed or pedal-boat outing past the Mall Road promenade to the far shore and back. The Naina Devi temple at the lake's northern end, rebuilt after the 1880 landslide that reshaped the town. The afternoon is free for the lakeside cafes, or a walk out to the quieter Sattal or Bhimtal lakes nearby if there is time.
Nainital → Corbett
Nainital to Corbett
A drive of about three hours down from the hills to the Corbett buffer zone near Ramnagar, dropping back through forest and farmland. You check into a riverside lodge on the Kosi by early afternoon, with time for a look around the grounds before the day's light fades. Safari permits and zone allocations are usually confirmed the evening before, so the first full safari begins early the next morning.
Corbett
Corbett — Morning Jungle Safari
An early start for the day's first safari slot, into one of Corbett's permit zones by open jeep with a naturalist. The three-hour drive covers sal forest, grassland and river crossings, reading pug marks and alarm calls for signs of tiger and elephant, with deer, langur and a wide range of birdlife seen along the way regardless. The afternoon is free at the lodge, by the river, before a second safari or a quiet evening on the riverside deck.
Corbett
Corbett — a Second Safari and the Riverbank
A second safari, usually in the afternoon slot and often into a different zone from the first, to widen the chances of a sighting and see the park in different light. The rest of the day is spent at the lodge on the Kosi or Ramganga riverbank, watching for birdlife and, on the far bank, sometimes elephants coming down to drink. Many lodges end the day with a bonfire and dinner by the water.
Corbett
Corbett — Departure
A last early safari if the timing allows, or a relaxed morning on the riverbank. Corbett is reached from Delhi in about six hours by road, or via Ramnagar's rail link, or a short flight connection through Dehradun or Pantnagar depending on the route. It is the usual last stop on an Uttarakhand circuit before flying or training onward.
