From the Crowd of Mainpuri to the Roar of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the traffic, the noise, and the routine in Mainpuri?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the call of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the buildings of Mainpuri for the towering Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in managing travelers traveling specifically from Mainpuri. We realize that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Mainpuri
If driving: The journey from Mainpuri is scenic but can be lengthy. We advise departing early to get to Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can book a cab to take you immediately to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal schedule for visitors from Mainpuri is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to increase your odds of finding the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Mainpuri. 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.
