From the Crowd of Mumbai to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the noise, and the city life in Mumbai?
It’s time to swap the busy streets for the chirping of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Mumbai for the tall Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Mumbai. We know that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a weekend drive or catching a train to arrive at us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Mumbai
If coming by car: The drive from Mumbai is enjoyable but can be long. We suggest starting early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can organize a car to take you straight to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended plan for tourists from Mumbai is usually a short tour to increase your odds of finding the Tiger.
Why Travelers from Mumbai Trust Us
You have endless options to reserve online. Why book with a native agency like Corbett Online Booking?
- No Third Parties: You aren't speaking to a remote agent. You are connecting with us, directly at the park gates.
- Permit Management: Traveling all the way from Mumbai, the last thing you want is to turn up and find out permits are gone. We purchase your permits before you even prepare your bags.
- Package Deals: Since you need rooms, we offer combo rates that are cost-effective than reserving hotels and safaris alone online.

FAQs for Mumbai Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are prohibited in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must transfer into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Mumbai. 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 book?
A: Since you are coming all the way from Mumbai, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure places to visit in India. Our staff are verified professionals who value your safety.
