Although, it’s wise to pack warm attire for the brisk early mornings and evenings.

Spring: (March to May) ushers in a renewed vitality, with temperatures gradually rising, making it an ideal time for bird enthusiasts to observe and appreciate the diverse avian species that inhabit the park. Additionally, the verdant greenery of the park is at its peak, creating a picturesque landscape that invites exploration. Although the sun’s intensity can be felt during the day, it’s crucial to prioritize hydration and protect one’s skin with sunscreen to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Monsoon: During the monsoon season from (June to September), Corbett National Park receives significant rainfall, causing road closures and making some areas inaccessible. Despite these challenges, this period showcases vibrant greenery and revitalized rivers, providing a distinctive opportunity for nature enthusiasts.
