However, one point worth noting is that the jungle safari at Corbett isn’t included in the package, which could be a surprise for some.

Your adventure kicks off with a pickup from Delhi Railway Station or Airport, followed by a comfortable drive to Nainital. This journey takes you through the scenic Indian countryside, providing glimpses of rural life and mountain vistas. Once you arrive, you’ll check into a three-star hotel, which offers a cozy base for the next few days. The evening is free to relax or explore nearby, with dinner at the hotel adding a touch of local hospitality.
While the first day is mostly about settling in, it sets the tone for a relaxed trip. The convenience of private transportation means you won’t need to worry about navigating or dealing with crowded buses. The hotel stay ensures a good night’s sleep before the lakes and wildlife adventures begin.
After breakfast, the day is dedicated to exploring some of Nainital’s famous lakes. The tour includes visits to Bhim Tal, Sat Tal, and Naukuchia Tal — all offering picturesque settings with mountain backdrops and tranquil waters. These lakes are perfect for leisurely walks, photography, or simply soaking in the views.
You’ll also enjoy a boat ride at Naini Lake, which is often highlighted as a highlight for its peaceful ambiance and scenic surroundings. The optional rope way offers panoramic views, though it’s an activity you can choose to participate in at your own expense. In the evening, the lively Mall Road beckons, where you can browse shops, try local snacks, or just people-watch with a cup of chai.
The day balances sightseeing with free time, allowing visitors to tailor their experience. Many reviews mention appreciating the flexibility to explore at their own pace, although some noted that certain activities like boat rides or ropeway are not included and can incur extra charges.
The morning begins with breakfast before checking out of the hotel. The journey to Jim Corbett National Park includes a scenic stop at Corbett Fall, offering a quick photo opportunity and a chance to stretch. Once you arrive at Corbett, check-in at the hotel, then enjoy a hearty lunch in anticipation of your wildlife adventure.
The core activity here is a visit to the national park itself. While the package does not include the jungle safari — which many travelers might expect — you’ll get to see the vast flora and fauna of this renowned park. The park is famed for tigers, leopards, and elephants, but the jungle safari itself is an extra expense, which some reviewers have expressed surprise about.
What we love about this part of the trip is how the drive provides a scenic overview of the Himalayan foothills, and the park’s natural surroundings promise a good chance to see various wildlife if you opt for the safari. The evening is free to relax at the hotel — a good opportunity to unwind after a day of travel.
The final day begins early with an optional jungle safari, which is at your own cost — a key point for wildlife enthusiasts. Many travelers find this a highlight, but it’s important to budget for it if you want the full experience. After the safari, enjoy breakfast before checking out.
The return journey to Delhi is straightforward, with the comfort of private transportation. The trip concludes back at your original meeting point, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and plenty of memories of lakes, mountain views, and the possibility of spotting a wild tiger or elephant.
This tour offers a convenient package for those who want to see Nainital’s lakes and get a taste of Corbett’s wilderness without the hassle of planning each detail themselves. The inclusion of accommodation, breakfast, and private transport adds to the overall value, especially for travelers unfamiliar with the region.
However, the fact that jungle safaris are not included can be a letdown for wildlife lovers. The extra cost of around £111.90 for a safari could significantly increase your overall expenses, so budget accordingly. Some reviews mention feeling misled about safaris being part of the package, so clarity here is key.
The hotel stays and sightseeing are well-organized, with most travelers appreciating the flexibility to explore independently in the evenings. The lakes of Nainital — especially Naini Lake — provide serene scenery and relaxing boat rides, which many find a perfect way to unwind.
Transportation is a highlight: a private AC vehicle ensures comfort and smooth transfers, avoiding the common discomforts and delays of group tours or public transport. The driver’s professionalism and the vehicle’s condition are crucial for a smooth experience, and most reviews seem to agree on this point.
This package suits travelers seeking a relaxing, scenic escape from Delhi with a mix of lakeside leisure and wildlife viewing. It’s ideal for those who value comfort and convenience over an intense wildlife safari experience, given the safari’s optional and extra nature.
Nature lovers, families, or couples wanting a straightforward, guided trip will find it appealing. However, if your main goal is wildlife viewing, particularly tiger spotting, you might want to consider additional safaris or alternative packages.
For a traveler wanting a balanced combination of lakes, mountain views, and wildlife, this 4-day tour offers a solid foundation. The experience of cruising on Naini Lake, wandering around charming lakes, and feeling the thrill of potential wildlife sightings in Corbett makes it a memorable trip.
The inclusion of comfortable hotel stays and private transport ensures you won’t spend your days in cramped buses or uncomfortable lodges, and the flexibility to customize the tour adds extra value. Still, the extra costs for safaris and activities are something to keep in mind when budgeting.
All in all, this tour is best suited for those who want a relaxed, well-organized nature escape from Delhi, especially if wildlife viewing isn’t their sole focus. It offers a good mix of scenic beauty, cultural leisure, and opportunity to see some iconic Indian landscapes.
