From the City Life of Kapurthala to the Call of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the gridlock, the pollution, and the city life in Kapurthala?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sound of the Jungle. It’s time to forget the buildings of Kapurthala for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in serving guests coming specifically from Kapurthala. We get it that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a vacation getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your complete guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Kapurthala
If coming by car: The road from Kapurthala is picturesque but can be long. We propose leaving early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can schedule a car to take you straight to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best plan for visitors from Kapurthala is usually a short package to improve your possibility of spotting the Tiger.

Common Questions for Kapurthala Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Private vehicles are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must shift into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Kapurthala. 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 definitely need to book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Kapurthala, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits get booked weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who prioritize your safety.
