From the Hustle of Khanna to the Roar of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the traffic, the commotion, and the work stress in Khanna?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the chirping of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to leave behind the concrete of Khanna for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in serving guests coming specifically from Khanna. We get it that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are thinking of a vacation excursion or catching a flight to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Khanna
If coming by car: The road from Khanna is picturesque but can be tiring. We advise starting at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can schedule a cab to take you directly to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best plan for folks from Khanna is usually a short trip to improve your luck of seeing the Tiger.

Common Questions for Khanna Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are prohibited 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 Khanna. 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 absolutely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Khanna, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our staff are vetted professionals who value your safety.
