A Tempo Traveller from Ghaziabad to Jim Corbett costs between ₹21,000-₹28,000 for a round trip spanning 1-2 nights, based on a one-way distance of roughly 250-270 km, with per-km charges generally falling in the ₹15-₹18 range depending on the operator and vehicle type.
The final budget depends on several factors- the seater size selected (9, 12, or 17-seater), the number of nights the vehicle and driver are held at Corbett, and whether travel falls on a weekend or holiday period, which tends to push prices higher due to demand.
Since Jim Corbett's core safari zones have limited road connectivity, most Tempo Traveller bookings are used primarily for the Ghaziabad-Corbett-Ghaziabad transit and local drop/pickup to resorts near the park (Dhikuli, Ramnagar area), rather than entry into the safari zone itself. Safari vehicles- open Gypsies or Canters are separate, park-authorized vehicles booked independently through the forest department or resort, and their cost is not included in
Tempo Traveller pricing from Ghaziabad. Overnight halt charges for the driver, ₹1,500-₹2,000 per night, apply if the vehicle stays over at Corbett rather than doing a same-day drop and return. It's also worth checking road conditions during monsoon season (July-September), as certain stretches near the park can experience delays due to rain.
