From the Noise of Ashram to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the jams, the noise, and the city life in Ashram?
It’s time to switch the honking cars for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Ashram for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in managing travelers traveling specifically from Ashram. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a holiday getaway or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your complete guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Ashram
If driving: The road from Ashram is beautiful but can be lengthy. We suggest starting early in the morning to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can book a taxi to take you straight to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The ideal schedule for visitors from Ashram is usually a short trip to increase your odds of finding the Tiger.

Common Questions for Ashram Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Ashram. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The forest rule 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 reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Ashram, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Slots get booked weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure places to visit in India. Our drivers are trusted professionals who value your safety.
