Intercity Route

Delhi Nainital & Jim Corbett

A private transfer from Delhi NCR into Uttarakhand's Kumaon region — the lake town of Nainital and Jim Corbett National Park, India's oldest tiger reserve.

Nainital, built around the scenic Naini Lake, and Jim Corbett National Park, India's oldest national park and a premier tiger reserve, are two of Delhi's favourite weekend escapes into the Kumaon hills. Our private transfer covers around 300 km via NH-9 in roughly 6 hours, with Corbett around an hour closer than Nainital.

Corbett is best known for jeep safaris in search of Bengal tigers, elephants and leopards across its forest and grassland zones — safaris need to be booked in advance and typically run at dawn and dusk. Nainital, an hour further into the hills, offers boating on Naini Lake, the Mall Road, and cable car rides up Snow View Point.

We often arrange this as a two-stop trip — an overnight jungle stay near Corbett followed by a couple of nights in Nainital, or vice versa. Tell our team your preferred order and length of stay and we'll quote a fixed multi-day fare.
