Jim Corbett is a wild place that attracts a number of tourists all around the year. The park has huge popularity because of its rich biodiversity. People like to visit this park to enjoy thrilling safaris that give them a chance to get close to nature. This park experiences 3 seasons – winters, summers, and monsoons.

The temperature remains between 20°C to 40°C during the summer season. It’s a good time to visit this park during this time because of the following reasons.

Good Sightings – During summers, a lot of leaves shred from trees because of dryness and in turn, it makes it easy to spot animals from a distance as there are no barriers of lush and tall trees that can stop us from spotting tigers and other animals. There is extremely little scope for tigers to hide behind the greenery.   

Prime Time for Tiger Spotting – During summer you should always book your safaris for those zones which has water streams in them. Tigers and other animals get thirsty because of heat during summers and there are high chances of spotting tigers near water bodies as they come out from their hideouts to quench their thirst. 

Nice Location – Many people like to go to hill stations during summer, especially families who love to visit hill stations during summer vacations with their children. Visiting Jim Corbett will be a nice option for them as they can take their children to Jim Corbett and let them gain knowledge about animals and after that, they can go to nearby hill stations from Jim Corbett like Ranikhet, Nainital, Bhimtal, Pangot, etc.
