Looking for the perfect combo getaway from Delhi? Combine thrilling wildlife safaris in Jim Corbett National Park with the serene, colonial charm of Lansdowne hill station—it's the ultimate Uttarakhand weekend escape! This route blends adrenaline-pumping tiger spotting in dense forests with peaceful walks amid pine oaks, misty viewpoints, and old British-era vibes. In winter 2026 (January onwards), the combo shines: crisp air enhances wildlife sightings in Corbett, while Lansdowne's mild chill (5–20°C) adds cozy magic without heavy snow.

The combo benefit is clear: One seamless road trip covers adventure + relaxation, no backtracking, and a Tempo Traveller Rental in Delhi makes it effortless for groups—spacious comfort, shared costs, and no hassle on winding hills.

Why This Combo Works Perfectly

  • Total Distance: Delhi → Jim Corbett (~250 km) → Lansdowne (~150–180 km from Corbett) → Delhi (~250 km from Lansdowne) = ~650–700 km round trip.
  • Driving Time: 2–3 days ideal (weekend or extended).
  • Best Time 2026: Winter (Nov–Feb) – Corbett offers better animal sightings (tigers/elephants near water sources), Lansdowne stays pleasant with occasional light snow. Avoid summer heat or monsoon slips.
