From the Chaos of Ayodhya to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the congestion, the din, and the work stress in Ayodhya?
It’s time to trade the honking cars for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to escape the skyline of Ayodhya for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Ayodhya. We know that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are thinking of a weekend getaway or catching a train to arrive at us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Ayodhya
If road tripping: The journey from Ayodhya is beautiful but can be lengthy. We recommend starting at dawn to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can organize a pick-up to take you directly to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended plan for visitors from Ayodhya is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to maximize your chances of seeing the Tiger.

FAQs for Ayodhya Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Private vehicles are not allowed 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 Ayodhya. 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 absolutely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Ayodhya, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our staff are vetted professionals who focus on your safety.
