From the Chaos of Jhalawar to the Roar of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the commotion, and the routine in Jhalawar?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to ditch the skyline of Jhalawar for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in serving guests coming specifically from Jhalawar. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your complete guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.

- Tip: The ideal itinerary for visitors from Jhalawar is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to improve your luck of finding the Tiger.

FAQs for Jhalawar Travelers
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are prohibited in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must move into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Jhalawar. 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 strictly need to hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are coming all the way from Jhalawar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: 100%. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure places to visit in India. Our drivers are vetted professionals who focus on your safety.
