From the City Life of Paharganj to the Roar of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the traffic, the noise, and the daily grind in Paharganj?
It’s time to trade the honking cars for the call of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the skyline of Paharganj for the green Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Paharganj. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are organizing a holiday getaway or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Paharganj
If road tripping: The road from Paharganj is scenic but can be lengthy. We advise leaving early to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can book a taxi to take you comfortably to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The ideal schedule for visitors from Paharganj is usually a weekend tour to maximize your odds of finding the Tiger.

FAQs for Paharganj Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Paharganj. 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 definitely need to book two Gypsies.

A: Since you are driving all the way from Paharganj, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
