From Hisar City to the Wild: Your Complete Route Guide to Jim Corbett
So, you have finally decided to depart the hustle of Hisar 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 Hisar City, the journey can be a exciting voyage or a quiet train ride.
At Corbett Step, we don't just handle your safari permits; we assist you with the full journey. Here is the best way to reach us from Hisar City.
🚗 Option 1: Driving from Hisar City (The Freedom of the Road)
If you are a fan of car journeys, the journey to Corbett is vibrant.
- The Route: If you are driving from Hisar 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 excellent. However, as you approach the forest fringes near Ramnagar, drive attentively.
- Pit Stops: There are plenty of highway motels en route, famous for their meals.
💡 Corbett Step Tip for Hisar City Drivers:
Download the offline maps for the Ramnagar area before you leave Hisar City, as the mobile network can be weak once you enter the dense Sal forest canopy.
🚆 Option 2: The Nostalgic Rail Route from Hisar City
For many travelers from Hisar City, the train is the most scenic option, especially for overnight travel.
- Nearest Station: Ramnagar (RMR). This station is the end point and is located just a few kilometers from the main park gates.
- Connectivity: Check for direct trains like the Ranikhet Express or the Corbett Park Link Express from your nearest hub in Hisar City.
- The Strategy: If there are no direct trains, book a ticket from Hisar City to Delhi or Moradabad. From there, it is a short bus ride to the Corbett forest belt.
- The Vibe: The final leg of the train journey offers lovely views of the Terai landscape.
✈️ Option 3: Flights from Hisar City (The Fast Track)
If you are traveling from a distant part of Hisar City and are short on time, flying is your best bet.
- Nearest Domestic Airport: Pantnagar (PGH).

- The Transfer: Pantnagar is roughly a 2-hour drive from the park. Corbett Step can provide a private taxi to meet you at the arrival terminal.
