From the Crowd of Dhansa to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the gridlock, the noise, and the routine in Dhansa?
It’s time to switch the busy streets for the sound of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to forget the concrete of Dhansa for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Dhansa. We understand 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 transport to arrive at us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Dhansa
If driving: The road from Dhansa is enjoyable but can be tiring. We propose starting at dawn to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can arrange a pick-up to take you immediately to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for travelers from Dhansa is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to improve your odds of finding the Tiger.

A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will strictly need to take two Gypsies.
