From the Noise of Khanpur to the Roar of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the gridlock, the pollution, and the city life in Khanpur?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to forget the concrete of Khanpur for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Khanpur. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a holiday drive or catching a flight to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Khanpur
If road tripping: The road from Khanpur is beautiful but can be tiring. We propose departing early in the morning to get to Ramnagar by noon.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about local transport. We can arrange a car to take you straight to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for tourists from Khanpur is usually a weekend tour to maximize your possibility of spotting the Tiger.

Common Questions for Khanpur Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Private vehicles are not permitted in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must transfer into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Khanpur. 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 traveling all the way from Khanpur, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.

A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the best tourist destinations in India. Our staff are vetted professionals who prioritize your safety.
