When planning a visit to the Sona Nadi Reservoir in the esteemed Jim Corbett National Park, the period from November to February is considered ideal. During these months, the climate is pleasantly cool and is the most comfortable time for wildlife safaris and birdwatching. The temperatures typically range from 5°C to 30°C, providing a perfect setting for tourists to explore the park and observe a wide array of fauna in their natural habitat. Winter mornings can be misty with occasional fog, which adds a mystical charm to the dense forests and tranquil reservoir waters. It's also the best time for photography enthusiasts to capture the stunning vistas of the park.
If you are interested in observing the lush greenery and the rejuvenation of flora, the period after monsoon, especially from October to mid-November, is also a good time to visit. However, tourists should note that the monsoon season, extending from July to September, often leads to heavy rainfall which might cause restrictions in safari zones due to safety concerns and poor road conditions. Summers, from March to June, can be extremely hot with temperatures soaring up to 40°C, but this season is favored by some wildlife enthusiasts as animals often come out to water sources, including the Sona Nadi Reservoir, increasing the chances of sightings. Despite this, the cooler months remain the most comfortable and popular time for visitors.
