Which gate, which resort
Corbett's gates are spread along 60 km of the park's edge, and the resorts follow them: Bijrani and Garjiya at Ramnagar, Dhikala and Dhangarhi 18 km north up the Kosi, Jhirna and Dhela south toward Kaladhungi, Sitabani east. A drop 'at Corbett' can be an hour wrong. Give us the resort name and we go to the door.
Landing at Jolly Grant rather than Delhi saves about three hours of road; the airport is 20 km east of Dehradun and the Haridwar road is right there. It is the sensible way in for anyone flying to the park.
The road
- Haridwar (35 km) — the first 45 minutes
- Najibabad (85 km) — breakfast
- Kashipur (170 km) — the turn north
- Ramnagar (200 km) — the last 30 km through sal forest
Zones and resorts
- Bijrani, Garjiya — at Ramnagar
- Dhikala, Dhangarhi — 18 km north on the Kosi road
- Jhirna, Dhela — south toward Kaladhungi
- Sitabani — east, open all year
How people plan it
- Morning landing, resort by mid-afternoon, evening safari
- Two nights in the park, then back to the airport
- Corbett then Nainital, 65 km on, with the same driver
- Safaris in the park's own gypsies, booked on the portal
Vehicle advice
- Innova or Crysta for a family with bags
- Sedan for two
- Tempo Traveller for groups
- No hill section — afternoon and evening runs are fine
Season
The main zones open mid-November to mid-June; Jhirna, Dhela and Sitabani stay open through the monsoon. November to February is the pleasant driving time; April to June is hot but best for sightings. Dhikala sells out weeks ahead — book safaris the moment your flights are fixed.
There is no hill road on this route, so a late-afternoon landing still reaches the resort for dinner. In monsoon the Najibabad stretch can hold water after heavy rain; we allow an extra half hour.
