From the Noise of Kharar to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the congestion, the pollution, and the routine in Kharar?
It’s time to trade the city lights for the sound of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the skyline of Kharar for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in managing travelers traveling specifically from Kharar. We get it that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a weekend road trip or catching a train to get to us, here is your comprehensive guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Kharar
If road tripping: The road from Kharar is picturesque but can be tiring. We recommend leaving early to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about local transport. We can schedule a cab to take you immediately to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best itinerary for travelers from Kharar is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to maximize your possibility of seeing the Tiger.

FAQs for Kharar Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Kharar. 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 book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Kharar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits get booked weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for couples?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our staff are verified professionals who value your safety.
