From the Chaos of Kekri to the Roar of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the gridlock, the din, and the routine in Kekri?
It’s time to trade the city lights for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to forget the concrete of Kekri for the towering Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in managing travelers traveling specifically from Kekri. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Kekri
If driving: The road from Kekri is enjoyable but can be tiring. We propose departing at dawn to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can organize a car to take you immediately to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended itinerary for visitors from Kekri is usually a short tour to boost your chances of finding the Tiger.

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