From the Crowd of Bhopal to the Wilderness of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the din, and the routine in Bhopal?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the call of the Jungle. It’s time to forget the buildings of Bhopal for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in managing travelers traveling specifically from Bhopal. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a weekend road trip or catching a flight to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Bhopal
If driving: The drive from Bhopal is picturesque but can be lengthy. We propose starting early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can book a taxi to take you immediately to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal plan for travelers from Bhopal is usually a weekend tour to boost your chances of spotting the Tiger.

FAQs for Bhopal Travelers
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 security. You must move into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Bhopal. 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 definitely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Bhopal, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits get booked 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 safest places to visit in India. Our staff are verified professionals who focus on your safety.
