Delhi to Jim Corbett: Routes, Drive Time and Costs

By Maulik Hospitality Editorial · Updated 2026-08-22

Corbett's popularity is built on proximity: roughly 250 km from Delhi, an easy Friday-evening escape. Pick your mode:

Self-Drive / Taxi (the default choice)

  • Route: Delhi - Hapur bypass - Moradabad - Ramnagar (NH-9), about 5.5-6.5 hours depending on Delhi exit time.
  • Leave NCR by 6 AM or after 9 PM to dodge Ghaziabad traffic; tolls roughly 500-700 one way; fuel varies by car.
  • Roads are decent throughout; the last 20 km into Ramnagar narrow down through forest checks.

Train (comfortable overnight-ish option)

  • Ramnagar Railway Station is the park's railhead, about 10 km from our Corbett resorts.
  • Direct trains connect Delhi (and Lucknow side) on select days - e.g., the Ranikhet Express pattern - check current schedules.

Fly

  • Pantnagar airport (PGH) has limited connections, then a 1.5-2 hour drive to Ramnagar.
  • For most travellers, flying into Delhi then driving beats domestic hops.

Our Advice

Drive if you want flexibility for safaris at dawn; take the train if Friday traffic scares you. Either way, we arrange pickups - just tell reservations your ETA.
