Glorified as India’s oldest and most prestigious National Park, the Jim Corbett National Park is part of the larger Corbett Tiger Reserve. Located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand, the magical landscapes of Corbett are renowned for being prime wildlife territory sheltering a wide range of species! It is also the place where the crucial Project Tiger was first launched back in 1973! 

The Jim Corbett National Park is one of the few tiger reserves in India that permits an overnight stay within the premises of the National Park in the much-coveted Dhikala zone area. This forest reserve hosts a plethora of stunning wildlife species and thus is one of the most sought-after wildlife destinations in India! 

The enchanting woods of the Jim Corbett National Park have captivated wildlife enthusiasts, professional photographers and filmmakers and have left many first-timers spellbound too! But, when people search the term “Jim Corbett tour packages”, the internet drenches them in a deluge of choices which perhaps leaves them all confused, as they do not know which option best suits their needs. 

Enter Toehold! With several years of experience and expertise in planning tours to the Corbett National Park and executing them proficiently to satisfy thousands of happy clients, Toehold comes to the rescue of all those who are lost. 

Toehold caters to different types of travellers, offering them three kinds of tours to best suit their needs and help them experience exactly what they wish to from their trip to this famed wildlife destination. 

The first kind of tour is called a Photo Tour and it is designed for people specifically interested in photography. Guided Group Tours are for people interested in nature and wildlife, but not necessarily photography. And our last category is called Custom Tours and it is especially for those who want to travel completely on their own terms, benefitting from our experience and expertise. 

Let us break each one of these categories down to further gain clarity and help you choose what suits your taste best! 

Jim Corbett Photo Tours

A Photo Tour is a tour that mainly focuses on photography learning and execution. On this tour Toehold skippers or tour leaders, who are award-winning photographers, guide you through the art of photography by delivering effective instructions and providing hands-on assistance. 

What participants learn in the sessions between their jungle safaris, they implement on the field. Our skippers have helped many of them make better photographs, but most importantly, have imparted valuable knowledge for them to enjoy their progress and the process of learning!  

Jim Corbett National Park is renowned for its breathtaking scenes and is home to some stunning species of wildlife, providing ample opportunities for photographers to practise and master everything they learn.
