Planning a trip to Jim Corbett National Park with family, friends, or colleagues from Faridabad? A tempo traveller is by far the most practical, comfortable, and cost-effective way to travel as a group. Whether it's a weekend getaway, a corporate outing, or a family reunion, booking a tempo traveller from Faridabad to Jim Corbett takes away the stress of coordinating multiple vehicles and lets everyone enjoy the journey together.
Why Choose a Tempo Traveller for Faridabad to Jim Corbett?
Jim Corbett National Park is roughly 260-280 km from Faridabad, and the drive typically takes 6 to 7 hours depending on the route and traffic near Delhi-NCR. For groups of 9 to 26 people, hiring individual cabs is expensive and inconvenient—everyone arrives at different times, coordination becomes a headache, and the group experience is lost.
A tempo traveller solves all of this. Here's why it makes sense for group tours:
- Everyone travels together – no splitting up into multiple cars, no confusion about routes or pickup points
- Spacious and comfortable – pushback seats, ample legroom, and enough space for luggage
- Cost-effective for groups – the per-person cost drops significantly compared to hiring several sedans or SUVs
- Ideal for long drives – air-conditioned cabins, music systems, and charging points make the 6-7 hour journey enjoyable rather than tiring
- Flexible seating options – 9, 12, 17, or 26-seater variants depending on your group size
Best Route from Faridabad to Jim Corbett
The most common route taken by tempo traveller operators is:
Faridabad → Delhi (via NH-19/Ring Road) → Hapur → Moradabad → Kashipur → Ramnagar (Jim Corbett)
Some drivers also prefer the Faridabad → Noida → Gajraula → Moradabad → Ramnagar route depending on traffic conditions and road quality. Both routes are well-connected and manageable in a single day if you start early, ideally between 5 AM and 6 AM, to avoid Delhi-NCR traffic congestion and reach Ramnagar by early afternoon.
Choosing the Right Tempo Traveller Variant
Picking the right seater capacity depends on your group size and comfort preference. If you're unsure which one fits your group best, check out our detailed guide on how to choose the right tempo traveller for your trip. Here's a quick overview:
9-Seater Tempo Traveller – Best for small families or close friend groups who want extra legroom and a more premium feel.
12-Seater Tempo Traveller – A popular choice for mid-sized family groups or small corporate teams heading to Jim Corbett for a nature retreat.
17-Seater Tempo Traveller – Ideal for larger family gatherings, college friend groups, or team outings where everyone wants to stay together without overcrowding.
26-Seater Tempo Traveller – Best suited for large corporate groups, wedding parties, or big family reunions planning a jungle safari together. If you're organizing something similar closer to Delhi-NCR, our tempo traveller services in Gurugram page has more on large-group bookings too.

- Experienced drivers familiar with the Faridabad-Ramnagar highway stretch
- AC cabin with comfortable, reclining seats
- On-board music system and charging points
- Clean and well-maintained vehicle interiors
- Flexible stop options for breakfast, restroom breaks, and photo stops along the way
Many groups prefer a short breakfast halt around Hapur or Gajraula, which breaks the journey nicely and keeps everyone refreshed before the final stretch into Ramnagar and Corbett.
