From the Noise of Gorakhpur to the Sounds of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the noise, and the work stress in Gorakhpur?
It’s time to swap the city lights for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to forget the skyline of Gorakhpur for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in managing travelers traveling specifically from Gorakhpur. We get it that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are thinking of a holiday road trip or catching a train to get to us, here is your complete guide to reserving the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Gorakhpur
If coming by car: The drive from Gorakhpur is scenic but can be tiring. We propose leaving early to reach Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can schedule a pick-up to take you directly to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The best schedule for travelers from Gorakhpur is usually a weekend tour to boost your odds of finding the Tiger.

Queries for Gorakhpur Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are prohibited 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 Gorakhpur. 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 hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Gorakhpur, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots sell out weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our drivers are trusted professionals who focus on your safety.
