From the Hustle of IP Extension to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the traffic, the commotion, and the work stress in IP Extension?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the chirping of the Jungle. It’s time to leave behind the concrete of IP Extension for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in hosting tourists arriving specifically from IP Extension. We understand that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are thinking of a vacation road trip or catching a flight to get to us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from IP Extension
If coming by car: The road from IP Extension is beautiful but can be tiring. We advise starting early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can arrange a cab to take you directly to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect plan for travelers from IP Extension is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to maximize your luck of seeing the Tiger.

A: The forest rule is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to take two Gypsies.
