Summer (March–June): For the Thrill-Seekers
As the sun blazes over Corbett’s grasslands, the forest transforms into a stage of raw wilderness. Temperatures can reach 40°C, and that’s when animals head to waterholes, making it the best season for tiger and elephant sightings.

By afternoon, the pool at our resort can become your oasis, where you can cool off with a refreshing dip or sip chilled drinks under the shade of palm trees. Our resort’s breezy architecture and tranquil gardens make the summer heat feel like part of the adventure rather than a challenge. Our travel desk is always ready to help you arrange safari bookings and plan your wildlife excursions.
This season is made for those who crave excitement—from adventure seekers and wildlife photographers to tiger enthusiasts eager to capture that once-in-a-lifetime shot of Corbett’s majestic big cats in their natural habitat.

Monsoon (July–October): The Quiet Green Season
The rains transform Corbett into a lush jungle wonderland. It’s less about safaris and more about serenity. While some zones close for safety, the surrounding landscape turns cinematic—waterfalls cascade through the hills, mist drapes the treetops, and the air feels freshly washed and alive. By the end of October, select gates reopen, welcoming visitors back to the safari trails.
If you’re chasing peace and greenery instead of tigers, this season is your hidden gem. The forest hums softly under the rain, and mornings begin with the sound of droplets on leaves instead of alarm clocks. Our resort in Jim Corbett becomes an even cosier option—perfect for lazy afternoons by your window, soothing spa sessions, or curling up with a book as thunder rolls gently in the distance.
This season calls out to travellers who prefer the quiet side of nature—offbeat explorers, couples looking for a romantic monsoon hideaway, and anyone who finds beauty in the stillness of rain-soaked forests.
