From the Chaos of Garhi to the Roar of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the traffic, the noise, and the routine in Garhi?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the buildings of Garhi for the green Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Garhi. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are planning a vacation excursion or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Garhi
If coming by car: The drive from Garhi is enjoyable but can be long. We advise departing early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about taxis. We can organize a cab to take you immediately to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended schedule for folks from Garhi is usually a weekend tour to boost your odds of seeing the Tiger.

Common Questions for Garhi Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must shift into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Garhi. 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 Garhi, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.

A: 100%. Jim Corbett is one of the best places to visit in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who focus on your safety.
