Common Questions for Jhilmil Colony Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are not allowed in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must move into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Jhilmil Colony. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The forest rule 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 book?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Jhilmil Colony, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.

A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure places to visit in India. Our drivers are verified professionals who prioritize your safety.
