An Amazing Experience of Spirituality & Wildlife – Corbett & Haridwar

Arrive at Delhi Airport or Railway Station, where our representative will meet and greet you. From here, begin your scenic drive to Corbett.

Corbett is located at the foothills of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand and is home to the oldest national park in India — Jim Corbett National Park. It is part of the larger Corbett Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger and lies in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand. Established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, it holds the pride of being India’s oldest and one of the most prestigious national parks.

The magical landscape of Corbett is famous for its rich population of Royal Bengal Tigers. The park’s terrain includes hills, marshy depressions, riverside belts, grasslands, and a large lake, offering a diverse and picturesque environment.

Zones:
Jim Corbett National Park is divided into 6 different zones, including a few premium zones where the safari cost varies depending on the selected zone. Guests can choose a preferred zone as per availability and interest.

Safari Options:
There are two types of safaris conducted inside the park:

• Jeep Safari:
  A four-wheeler vehicle permitted in all buffer zones of the park. It is the most popular safari option as jeeps are smaller in size compared to canters, allowing access to some unexplored and hidden corners of the jungle. Jeep safaris are commonly conducted in tourism zones like Bijrani, Jhirna, Durgadevi, Dhela, and Sitabani.
• Canter Safari:
  Available only for guests staying in the Dhikala zone (booking must be done through the official tourism website). Dhikala is considered one of the most inhabited regions by Royal Bengal Tigers, and canter safari is the only option to explore this core area. The safari operates in two shifts and is conducted by Corbett forest officials.

Upon arrival in Corbett, check into the hotel and freshen up. Later, proceed for a peaceful nature walk along the Kosi River, which is a paradise for bird watchers.

The evening is free for leisure activities.

Safari Details:
Visitors can book Jeep Safari or Canter Safari online for five different zones of the park — Bijrani, Jhirna, Dhikala, Dhela, and Durgadevi inside Jim Corbett National Park.

All safari bookings and related procedures at Corbett are managed strictly by the forest officials as per the guidelines of India’s Forest Department. Please note that the safari zone, safari driver, and naturalist guide cannot be influenced or chosen, as these are allocated solely by the forest authorities.

Although zone allocation is automated, all zones maintain a healthy population of tigers and wildlife, and sightings are reported to be more or less similar across the park. The entire process is handled through an automated computerized system to ensure equal distribution of safari vehicles among the respective zones.

After the safari, return back to the hotel or resort.

After breakfast, check out from the hotel and drive to Haridwar.

Haridwar is located in the southwestern part of Uttarakhand amidst the Shivalik Hills and is considered one of the most important Shaktipeeths for Hindus. Lakhs of devotees visit this sacred city throughout the year to take a holy dip in the River Ganga. Known as one of the seven holiest cities in India, Haridwar offers a vibrant blend of culture, spirituality, and devotion.

Situated on the banks of the holy Ganga, Haridwar literally means the “Gateway to God” and marks the point where the River Ganga enters the plains. It also serves as the gateway to some of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites.

On arrival, check into the hotel and relax.

In the evening, visit Har Ki Pauri, the famous ghat built by King Vikramaditya, to witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti. The aarti takes place every evening between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm (depending on the season). The ceremony is a powerful spiritual experience, with fiery lamps, rhythmic chanting of mantras, clanking bells, and an enthusiastic gathering of devotees. As the lamps are lit and prayers are offered, small diyas are floated on the river, creating a magical and divine atmosphere.

The morning Ganga Aarti is held from 5:30 am to 6:30 am, and the evening aarti from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm (timings may vary; kindly recheck with the hotel).
