From the Chaos of Murwara to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the traffic, the din, and the work stress in Murwara?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the buildings of Murwara for the majestic Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Murwara. We understand that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are thinking of a weekend excursion or catching a train to arrive at us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Getting to Us from Murwara

Queries for Murwara Visitors
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Private vehicles are not permitted in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Murwara. 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 definitely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are coming all the way from Murwara, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots sell out weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the best places to visit in India. Our drivers are vetted professionals who prioritize your safety.
