Dehradun to Nainital Corbett by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Dehradun to Nainital via Jim Corbett tempo traveller route combines Uttarakhand's two most popular experiences — wildlife safari and lakeside hill station. Travel via Haridwar and Najibabad through the lush terai grasslands along the Ramganga River to Ramnagar, the gateway to Jim Corbett National Park. Book your jeep safari in the Bijrani, Jhirna, or Dhikala zones for the best chance of spotting the royal Bengal tiger, Asiatic elephants, leopards, and the endangered gharial crocodile. The Corbett Waterfall near Kaladhungi is a refreshing group picnic spot. After your safari experience, continue via Haldwani — the bustling gateway to Kumaon — climbing through pine and oak forests to Nainital (2,084m). The kidney-shaped Naini Lake, nestled between Naina Peak (2,615m, China Peak) and Tiffin Top, is one of India's most photographed lakes. Evening boat rides, a walk on the Thandi Sadak (cool road), and shopping on Mall Road for Nainital's famous candles and woollen goods round out the experience.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Dehradun to Nainital Corbett costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 350 km and about 8-9 hours of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
