Corbett & Nainital: Tigers and Lakes
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Pair India's oldest national park with the prettiest Kumaon hill town for a family-friendly week of wildlife and cool mountain air.
Corbett
Jeep safaris through sal forest and grassland in search of tigers, elephants and hundreds of birds. Book zones and permits early.
Nainital
A gentle contrast — boating on Naini Lake, the buzzy Mall Road, and misty viewpoints over the Kumaon range. Best November to June (the park closes in the monsoon).
