From the Chaos of Dholpur to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the jams, the noise, and the work stress in Dholpur?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the call of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Dholpur for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Dholpur. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are thinking of a vacation drive or catching a flight to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Dholpur
If coming by car: The road from Dholpur is enjoyable but can be tiring. We suggest leaving early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can organize a car to take you directly to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended plan for tourists from Dholpur is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to increase 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 absolutely need to hire two Gypsies.
