The park also allows visitors to have a unique experience by permitting night stays and wildlife safaris on either an Elephant back or an open jeep. Along with tigers, one can also spot leopards, wild elephants and crocodiles here. It is a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts and has even served as a filming location for several movies.

The temperature in this region remains mild throughout the year with winters reaching lows of 4-5 degrees and summers averaging around 30 degrees. The mornings at Jim Corbett are often foggy, adding to the mystique of this renowned national park.
