Delhi to Nainital Bhimtal Jim Corbett by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Delhi to Nainital-Bhimtal-Jim Corbett circuit combines the Kumaon lake district with India's oldest national park in a single tempo traveller itinerary of about 550 km. Depart Delhi on NH9 via Ghaziabad and Moradabad (pause for Moradabad's famous brass market and food), then continue to Haldwani, the gateway to Kumaon. The 30 km climb from Haldwani to Nainital through dense oak and pine forests reveals the emerald Naini Lake surrounded by seven hills. Boating, Snow View Point via ropeway, Naina Devi Temple, and the bustling Tibetan Market on Mall Road are group favourites. Drive 22 km to Bhimtal, a quieter lake town with an island in the centre of the lake, perfect for kayaking and picnics. Nearby Sattal (seven interconnected lakes) offers birdwatching. The route then descends 70 km to Ramnagar, the gateway to Jim Corbett National Park. Book zone-specific safari permits in advance at corbettonline.uk.gov.in. Dhikala zone offers the best tiger-sighting odds, while Bijrani and Jhirna are easier to access. The tempo traveller handles the mix of highway, mountain, and forest roads comfortably.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Delhi to Nainital Bhimtal Jim Corbett costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 350 km (one way to farthest point, ~550 km circuit) and about 4-5 days circuit (14-16 hours driving total) 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.
