From the Chaos of Kota to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the jams, the commotion, and the daily grind in Kota?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the sound of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the concrete of Kota for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Kota. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are organizing a holiday road trip or catching a flight to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Kota
If driving: The journey from Kota is picturesque but can be lengthy. We suggest departing early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about cabs. We can book a car to take you comfortably to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal schedule for travelers from Kota is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to improve your luck of spotting the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Kota. 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 take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Kota, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
