5-star hotels in Ramnagar
This shortlist gathers the 5-star hotels of Ramnagar, the gateway town to Jim Corbett National Park. It is for travellers who want a luxury base for safaris, whether they come as couples, families or small groups.
Staying in Ramnagar
Ramnagar is a busy market town of local shops, banks and transport connections rather than a sightseeing destination in itself, and it works above all as a practical base for the national park and the nearby hills. The town sits on the Delhi–Kathgodam railway line, about 250 km northeast of New Delhi by road, around six hours via the NH9. Accommodation clusters along the roads leading to the park gates, and the 5-star properties on this list follow that pattern: their addresses place them in Dhikuli, Dhela Road, Zero Garjia and the town itself, between 1.0 and 18.4 km from the centre.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and safari-goers often prefer the Dhikuli and Zero Garjia resorts, closest to the park's zones, while families gravitate to properties with pools, kids pools and playgrounds. Business travellers and short-break visitors are better served by the hotels nearest the centre, where shops and transport are within easy reach.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Ramnagar is about 250 km northeast of New Delhi by road, a journey of around six hours via the NH9. It has a railway station with regular trains from Delhi and other cities, on the Delhi–Kathgodam line. The nearest airport is Pantnagar, about 80 km away, with limited flights. From Ramnagar, taxis and buses connect to Nainital and other hill stations. Getting around locally is easiest by auto-rickshaw or taxi, and many resorts arrange pickups for safaris.
When to go
The best time to visit Ramnagar is from November to June. The park is open from mid-November to mid-June, and the dry season offers the best wildlife sightings, with February to May particularly good as animals gather near water sources. Summers can be hot, often above 35°C, while winters are mild and pleasant. The monsoon months from July to October see the park closed and travel disrupted by rain.
