From the Hustle of Junagadh to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the din, and the city life in Junagadh?
It’s time to swap the city lights for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to forget the concrete of Junagadh for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Junagadh. We know that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a weekend getaway or catching a train to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Junagadh
If driving: The road from Junagadh is enjoyable but can be tiring. We propose leaving early to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can organize a car to take you straight to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended plan for visitors from Junagadh is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to maximize your chances of seeing the Tiger.

Common Questions for Junagadh Visitors
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not permitted in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must shift into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Junagadh. 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 absolutely need to hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Junagadh, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots get booked weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are verified professionals who value your safety.
