So, you have finally decided to escape the chaos of Faridabad City and head to the land of the Royal Bengal Tiger. Great choice! But the first question every traveler asks is: "What is the most seamless way to get there?"
Jim Corbett National Park is nestled in the scenic Nainital district of Uttarakhand. Depending on where you are based in Faridabad City, the journey can be a exciting voyage or a relaxing train ride.
At Corbett Step, we don't just handle your safari permits; we assist you with the complete journey. Here is the best way to reach us from Faridabad City.
🚗 Option 1: Driving from Faridabad City (The Freedom of the Road)
If you are a fan of touring, the journey to Corbett is breathtaking.
- The Route: If you are driving from Faridabad City, your GPS destination should be Ramnagar, Uttarakhand. Most travelers from the North follow the Hapur-Moradabad-Kashipur bypass.
- Road Conditions: The highways leading to Uttarakhand are generally top-quality. However, as you approach the forest fringes near Ramnagar, drive slowly.
- Pit Stops: There are plenty of food parks en route, famous for their delicacies.
💡 Corbett Step Tip for Faridabad City Drivers:
Download the offline maps for the Ramnagar area before you leave Faridabad City, as the mobile network can be zero once you enter the dense Sal forest canopy.

- Connectivity: Check for direct trains like the Ranikhet Express or the Corbett Park Link Express from your nearest hub in Faridabad City.

- The Vibe: The final leg of the train journey offers panoramic views of the Terai landscape.
