From the Hustle of Botad to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the gridlock, the din, and the city life in Botad?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the sound of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to forget the skyline of Botad for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Botad. We get it 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 reach us, here is your detailed guide to booking the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Botad
If road tripping: The route from Botad is beautiful but can be tiring. We propose leaving early to reach Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about taxis. We can schedule a car to take you straight to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best plan for visitors from Botad is usually a short tour to maximize your chances of seeing the Tiger.

Queries for Botad Visitors
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are prohibited in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must move into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Botad. 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 book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Botad, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
