From the City Life of Nainital to the Roar of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the jams, the pollution, and the routine in Nainital?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the chirping of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the skyline of Nainital for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in managing travelers traveling specifically from Nainital. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are planning a vacation getaway or catching a flight to get to us, here is your complete guide to reserving the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Nainital
If driving: The route from Nainital is beautiful but can be lengthy. We suggest departing early to reach Ramnagar by noon.

A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to book two Gypsies.
