Are you weary of the traffic, the pollution, and the work stress in Palanpur?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the call of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the buildings of Palanpur for the green Sal trees of Jim Corbett.

FAQs for Palanpur Travelers
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 safety reasons. You must transfer into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Palanpur. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The legal limit 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 reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Palanpur, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure tourist destinations in India. Our staff are verified professionals who prioritize your safety.
