From the Chaos of Akola to the Call of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the pollution, and the daily grind in Akola?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the call of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to forget the concrete of Akola for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in managing travelers traveling specifically from Akola. We understand that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an story.

Common Questions for Akola 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 registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Akola. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The legal limit 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 traveling all the way from Akola, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our staff are verified professionals who value your safety.
