Jim Corbett destination weddings
A jungle wedding on the edge of India’s oldest national park.
Updated Kalyan Co Planning TeamReviewed by Mefas Fransis
A Jim Corbett wedding happens at a riverside resort on the edge of India’s oldest national park, with jeep safaris for guests between functions. The best months are October to March. Resorts sit in an eco-sensitive zone, so fireworks and late music are limited. For 150 guests over three days, expect roughly ₹45.4–95.7 lakh (about US$48,000–100,000).
Corbett National Park, in the Himalayan foothills, is famous for its tigers and sal forests. Its resorts line the Kosi river near Ramnagar, and they are made for weddings: large lawns, river views and bonfire nights.
Guests spend mornings on jeep safaris and afternoons by the river, so the wedding feels like a holiday in the wild.
