FAQs for Dhar Travelers
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are prohibited in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must transfer into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Dhar. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The rule 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 Dhar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.

A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who prioritize your safety.
