Best Time to Visit
Winter (November to February)
A wonderful time to visit Corbett, with cool and pleasant weather ideal for safaris and sightseeing. Wildlife is active during the daytime, and the clear skies make it perfect for photography and birdwatching. Dhikala, Bijrani, and Garjia zones are especially popular in winter.
Summer (March to June)
Though the days are warm, summer offers the best chances of spotting tigers and elephants near waterholes. Early morning safaris are rewarding, and this is also a great time to explore the Jhirna and Dhela zones, which remain open year-round.
Monsoon (July to September)
Most core zones remain closed due to heavy rains, but Jhirna and Dhela stay open (weather permitting). The forest becomes lush, green, and rejuvenated, offering a peaceful experience for those seeking solitude and scenic beauty.
