A new route to bring Jim Corbett National Park closer to Delhi-NCR residents

Jim Corbett National Park is one of the favourite spots for a weekend getaway for many Delhi-NCR residents. And now the good news is, a trip to this favourite spot of yours is going to be a lot more quicker than before. You ask how? This has become possible as the Uttarakhand Government has decided to open a new gate to the reserve forest through Kotdwar.

This latest development of opening the new gate will save at least one hour’s drive of cut down at least 80 km of distance from your travel. This indeed gives us a reason to rejoice.
State Environment and Forest Minister Harak Singh Rawat, referring to this development, recently said that the new route will soon be accessible for tourists visiting the national park for wildlife safari through Pakharo gate at Kotdwar. Till date, the only route that was available for the travellers was via Ramnagar.

While the distance from Delhi to Ramnagar is 280 km, the distance from Delhi to Pakharo will cut down to 200 km. This means a significant relief for all those travellers out there who postpone their trip just because of the distance.
The minister also mentioned that the central government has also granted necessary permission for opening the new gate via Pakharo. He further added that this will not only provide the travellers coming to Delhi-NCR a much quicker route, but will also boost ecotourism in the Garhwal division.
