From the Crowd of Maihar to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the traffic, the noise, and the routine in Maihar?
It’s time to swap the busy streets for the chirping of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to leave behind the skyline of Maihar for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Maihar. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are planning a weekend excursion or catching a transport to reach us, here is your detailed guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Maihar
If driving: The journey from Maihar is beautiful but can be long. We advise departing at dawn to reach Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can arrange a pick-up to take you immediately to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect plan for folks from Maihar is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to boost your odds of spotting the Tiger.

FAQs for Maihar Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Maihar. 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 strictly need to book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Maihar, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Slots sell out weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
