4 Nights / 5 Days · All-Kumaon Sightseeing Circuit
Amazing Kumaon - Nainital + Corbett 4N / 5D ex-Delhi
A short, focused Kumaon sightseeing tour ex-Delhi covering two classic Kumaon stops: Nainital (Naini Lake, the Naina Devi temple and the Cave Garden) for two nights and Jim Corbett National Park for two nights with an optional jungle safari. Pickup and drop at Delhi Airport. Subject to weather and regulatory clearance.
TL;DR · This is a sightseeing tour, not a Char Dham helicopter pilgrimage. It is also one of our shortest all-Kumaon packages - no Garhwal stops, so no Mussoorie, no Rishikesh, no Haridwar. You spend 2 nights at Nainital and 2 nights at Jim Corbett. Best season: March to June and September to November (Corbett is open mid-November to mid-June; check current park dates). To add Kausani's 300 km Himalayan view to this circuit, see the longer Nainital + Kausani + Corbett 5N/6D. For pilgrims, see the Char Dham 5N/6D by Helicopter.
