From the Hustle of Harda to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the gridlock, the din, and the daily grind in Harda?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the chirping of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to forget the skyline of Harda for the majestic Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Harda. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are organizing a weekend getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your complete guide to securing the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Harda
If coming by car: The drive from Harda is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We propose leaving early to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about taxis. We can book a taxi to take you comfortably to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal itinerary for visitors from Harda is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to boost your chances of seeing the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Harda. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The legal limit is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will definitely need to take two Gypsies.
