From the Hustle of Naraina to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the pollution, and the daily grind in Naraina?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the chirping of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the buildings of Naraina for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Naraina. We get it that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an story.
Whether you are organizing a holiday drive or catching a flight to reach us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Getting to Us from Naraina
If road tripping: The route from Naraina is enjoyable but can be long. We recommend leaving at dawn to get to Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about taxis. We can schedule a taxi to take you comfortably to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best itinerary for tourists from Naraina is usually a short tour to increase your possibility of seeing the Tiger.

Queries for Naraina Visitors

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Naraina. 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 strictly need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
