From the Hustle of Amritsar to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the gridlock, the din, and the routine in Amritsar?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the call of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to forget the skyline of Amritsar for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Amritsar. We understand that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are planning a weekend excursion or catching a flight to get to us, here is your detailed guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Amritsar
If coming by car: The journey from Amritsar is enjoyable but can be long. We propose leaving early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can arrange a car to take you immediately to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect plan for folks from Amritsar is usually a weekend trip to increase your chances of spotting the Tiger.

Queries for Amritsar Travelers
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must shift into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Amritsar. 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 absolutely need to hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Amritsar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots 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 most secure places to visit in India. Our drivers are trusted professionals who value your safety.
