From the Chaos of Chamoli to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the pollution, and the city life in Chamoli?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sound of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the skyline of Chamoli for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Chamoli. We realize that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a weekend drive or catching a train to arrive at us, here is your complete guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Chamoli
If road tripping: The road from Chamoli is beautiful but can be lengthy. We recommend departing early in the morning to get to Ramnagar by lunchtime.

- Tip: The ideal itinerary for tourists from Chamoli is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to maximize your possibility of spotting the Tiger.

FAQs for Chamoli Travelers
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 security. You must move into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Chamoli. 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 hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are coming all the way from Chamoli, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for couples?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the best tourist destinations in India. Our staff are vetted professionals who prioritize your safety.
