From the Hustle of Bhandara to the Call of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the jams, the noise, and the daily grind in Bhandara?
It’s time to trade the busy streets for the call of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the skyline of Bhandara for the majestic Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Bhandara. We get it that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are organizing a holiday drive or catching a train to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Bhandara
If coming by car: The drive from Bhandara is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We suggest leaving at dawn to get to Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can schedule a taxi to take you comfortably to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The best plan for tourists from Bhandara is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to maximize your odds of seeing the Tiger.

A: The forest rule is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to book two Gypsies.
