From the Chaos of Mumbai Suburban to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the jams, the noise, and the daily grind in Mumbai Suburban?
It’s time to switch the honking cars for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Mumbai Suburban for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Mumbai Suburban. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.

FAQs for Mumbai Suburban Visitors

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Mumbai Suburban. 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 book?
