Chandigarh to Nainital & Jim Corbett Tour Package

Of all the cities in India, Chandigarh has one of the most natural relationships with mountain travel. Designed by Le Corbusier with the Shivalik Hills as its permanent northern horizon, the city was conceived with open space and nature woven into its very blueprint. For Chandigarh's residents — and for travellers from across Punjab and Haryana who use the city as their departure point — a road journey into the Himalayan foothills is not an occasional indulgence but an almost seasonal instinct. This Chandigarh to Nainital and Jim Corbett tour package channels that instinct into a premium 3-night, 4-day road itinerary that takes travellers from Chandigarh's wide boulevards directly into the Kumaon Himalayas — to Nainital, the iconic "Lake District of India" at 2,084 metres above sea level in Uttarakhand's Kumaon division, and to Jim Corbett National Park, India's first and most celebrated tiger reserve established in 1936, spanning 1,318 square kilometres of sal forest, grassland, and river valley across the Nainital and Pauri Garhwal districts. The road distance from Chandigarh to Nainital is approximately 300 kilometres — a 6 to 7-hour drive through the Terai highways of Uttarakhand — making this one of the most road-accessible Nainital packages available from any major Indian city. The journey places guests at Namah Nainital, a member of Radisson Individuals Retreats on the Grassmere Estate in Mallital — Nainital's finest boutique estate property — and at Devsha Jungle Resort in Peerumadara, Jim Corbett — a 5-star luxury wilderness retreat — delivering a standard of accommodation that matches the expectations of Chandigarh's quality-conscious, well-travelled families.

Corbett Nainital operates under the Ananta Group — a hospitality and travel company with over 35 years of continuous Uttarakhand operations since 1991. Our working relationships with Namah Nainital and Devsha Jungle Resort are direct and longstanding — we know these properties room by room, season by season, and staff member by staff member. When we place Chandigarh's travellers at these two specific properties, it is not a category assignment; it is a deliberate, experience-backed choice made for guests who will accept nothing less than genuine quality.

Namah Nainital on the Grassmere Estate is, by any reasonable measure, one of the finest places to stay in Nainital. The property sits on a private estate above the town on the Mallital hillside — away from the main road noise but within minutes of the lake, the Naina Devi Temple, and Mall Road. Its rooms are spacious, individually designed, and surrounded by private gardens. For families from Chandigarh and Punjab who travel frequently and hold a clear standard of what good accommodation looks like, Namah Nainital will feel immediately right. It is the kind of property that photographs well but more importantly feels right — the kind of place where a Nainital morning becomes genuinely memorable.

The devotional dimension of this tour is particularly significant for travellers from the Punjab-Chandigarh-Haryana belt. Mata devotion — specifically the Naina Devi tradition — runs as a central thread through the spiritual life of Punjab and Haryana. The Naina Devi Shakti Peetha at Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh attracts millions of pilgrims from this region annually — and travellers who have visited Bilaspur frequently feel a deeply personal pull toward the Nainital Naina Devi Temple as a parallel, sister shrine: same goddess, same eyes of Goddess Sati, same Shakti Peetha lineage, different Himalayan setting. The darshan here on Day 2 is one of this itinerary's most emotionally significant moments for many of our Chandigarh guests.
