What to Expect on a Trip to Jim Corbett

If this is your first trip to Jim Corbett, you may be imagining one thing above everything else: a tiger. Corbett is famous for its tigers, but a trip here is about much more than a sighting.

1. Expect Early Mornings

Morning safaris start early. The forest at first light has a different atmosphere: cooler air, bird calls and the anticipation of what may appear around the next bend.

2. Expect Wildlife, But Not A Guarantee

You may encounter deer, elephants, birds and other wildlife, and you may see a tiger. But no responsible operator can guarantee a sighting. Animals move freely through their habitat.

3. Expect More Than Safari

A good Corbett holiday can include nature walks, birdwatching, cycling, swimming, outdoor games, local attractions and long, relaxed meals. The resort can be part of the experience rather than simply a place to sleep between safaris.

4. Expect The Forest To Change

Corbett feels different across seasons. Weather, vegetation, safari operations and wildlife movement vary, so check current operating information and permit availability for your travel dates.

5. Expect To Slow Down

The best part of Corbett is often the change of pace: early mornings, time outdoors, open skies, forest sounds and an evening spent without rushing from one attraction to another.

Parwati Wild Abode is an 8-acre jungle resort in Dhela, on the periphery of the Corbett Tiger Reserve and near the Jhirna and Dhela gates, a base for guests who want both the excitement of a Corbett safari and the space to slow down afterwards.
