From the City Life of Bhavnagar to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the jams, the noise, and the daily grind in Bhavnagar?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the call of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the concrete of Bhavnagar for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Bhavnagar. We know that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are organizing a holiday getaway or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Bhavnagar
If driving: The journey from Bhavnagar is picturesque but can be long. We suggest starting early to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can organize a car to take you comfortably to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended itinerary for visitors from Bhavnagar is usually a short trip to improve your odds of finding the Tiger.

FAQs for Bhavnagar Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are prohibited in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Bhavnagar. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The rule 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 traveling all the way from Bhavnagar, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Slots sell out weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are trusted professionals who prioritize your safety.
