Common Questions for Champawat City Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are not permitted in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must move into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Champawat City. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The capacity 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 reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Champawat City, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.

A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure places to visit in India. Our staff are vetted professionals who value your safety.
