Best Time to Visit Jim Corbett National Park

The ideal time to visit Jim Corbett National Park is from late October to the end of June. The park is divided into different zones, with each having its specific opening timings. The most popular zone, Dhikala, remains open from November 15 to June 15, offering the best wildlife spotting experiences during this period. The transition from autumn to winter and finally to spring witnesses a remarkable transformation in the jungle's landscape, making it a great spectacle for nature lovers. The temperatures during these months range from a pleasant 5°C to 30°C, providing an amiable climate for jungle safaris.

However, for visitors keen on bird watching, the period from December to February is particularly great as many migratory birds make the park their temporary home. The winter season with its misty mornings not only enhances the thrill of the safari but also serves as a photographic haven. During the summer months from April to June, animals, especially tigers, are often spotted around water bodies, making it a fantastic opportunity for enthusiasts to witness the majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Although the monsoon season (July to September) closes most zones due to safety reasons, the Jhirna and Dhela zones remain open year-round, allowing visitors to experience the lush greenery of the monsoon-influenced forest.
