From the Crowd of Agra to the Roar of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the congestion, the pollution, and the routine in Agra?
It’s time to trade the busy streets for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to escape the buildings of Agra for the majestic Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Agra. We understand that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are planning a holiday drive or catching a flight to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Getting to Us from Agra
If coming by car: The route from Agra is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We recommend departing at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about cabs. We can arrange a pick-up to take you immediately to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for tourists from Agra is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day tour to boost your possibility of seeing the Tiger.

FAQs for Agra Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Private vehicles are not permitted in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Agra. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will strictly need to hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Agra, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: 100%. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure tourist destinations in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who prioritize your safety.
