Hello there, @Travguy!
The distance between Delhi and Jim Corbett National Park is about 248.4 kms. You can reach the latter in about six hours or more. A day trip is possible if you leave Delhi very early. You can make it in time for the afternoon safari. The national park has two timings for the safari: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The timings vary per the different zones and the seasons. Some of the timings are:
These are not fixed times. They can change depending on the management and the season. It's important to note that the national park is closed during the monsoon season, except for the Dhikala Zone. So with these timings in mind, you can definitely reach the national park in one day. The best thing you can do is leave early before 6:00 am so you can reach the national park before the afternoon safari starts.
All zones have advanced morning booking available in the website of the Jim Corbett National Park. For the afternoon safaris, they are only available on a first come, first serve basis. The Sonanadi Ecotourism Zone (Buffer Zone Outside the Park) doesn't have advanced booking and has first come, first serve basis. Bijrani and Dhikala Zones have Elephant Safaris available but only on first come, first serve basis.
The afternoon safari ends at 6:00 or 7:00 pm. You can hire a vehicle to take you back in Delhi although you might reach the place at midnight already. Otherwise, you have accommodation options in the park as well, if you're up for that. Then, you can leave early in the morning the next day.
I hope this helps!
