From the Noise of Kichha to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the noise, and the city life in Kichha?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to escape the concrete of Kichha for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Kichha. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a weekend drive or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Kichha

FAQs for Kichha Visitors
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 shift into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Kichha. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will definitely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Kichha, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are verified professionals who value your safety.
