If you are short on time and still want to experience the serenity of the hills and wilderness around, head out for this Nainital Corbett Tour Package from Delhi. The peaceful lakes, viewpoints, and colonial charm of Nainital will have you surrounded, while Jim Corbett National Park is a sneak peek into the wild side of nature.
The 3-day getaway by Chetram Holidays is wonderfully made to suit your weekend or short holiday. While you can enjoy peace in front of the lakeside, you can also see otherwise wild Bengal tigers. Staying, transfers, and safaris are all taken care of for you by Chetram Holidays, allowing you to live out your very own African adventure.
Start from Delhi in the early morning to enjoy a picturesque drive of 8–9 hours to Nainital. Check into your hotel and refresh yourself. Spend a few hours in the afternoon on Naini Lake and relax in a quiet boating session surrounded by lush green hills. While you are on the premises, make it a point to explore Naina Devi Mandir, which is considered as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of all of India. Go to Eco Cave Gardens, a spot known for its family-friendly, linked caves and a musical fountain show. During the evening walk through Mall Road, buy some souvenirs and try local snacks (momo, corn, and Bal Mithai, a Kumaoni sweet). Relax in the cool breeze of the lake before returning to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
After having an early breakfast, check out from the hotel in Nainital and drive to Jim Corbett National Park, which is a 3- to 4-hour journey by road from Nainital. The drive will lead you through turns of mountain roads, picturesque Kumaoni hamlets, and verdant valleys until you go down to the Corbett belt. Check into your forest resort; on arrival you would be welcomed with a refreshing drink and surrounded by sal and teak forest. Post lunch, head out to the Garjia Devi Temple, hanging on top of a huge boulder in the middle of the Kosi River. Indeed, it is not just a place of worship but also one for photography, particularly at the time of sunset. Then take a break at the Corbett Museum (Kaladhungi), which was once home to legendary hunter-turned-conservationist Jim Corbett. After the sun sets, return to your hotel and enjoy the traditional food of Nainital around the bonfire.
Wake up early in the morning, go outside your Golden Tusk suite and get ready for the best part of your holiday, a morning jeep safari at Jim Corbett National Park. The driver and guide will take you deep into the heart of the core zones, which travel amongst grasslands, riverbeds, and dense sal forests. Look out for spotted deer, wild boar, langurs, and gharials sunning themselves by the river, and you also spot the wild Bengal tiger slinking into view. The early mornings are also the best bird-watching time, with over 600 species coursing through the park, from the flamboyant plumage of the Himalayan kingfisher to the gliding crested serpent eagle. With your guide you will learn about the park's ecosystem and its place in India's wildlife-conservation history through riveting stories. You will return to the resort, have a fulfilling breakfast, and then go back to rest for some time. Say goodbye to wood views before checkout. And then drive back to Delhi with a heart full of memories.
