From the Crowd of Palghar to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the congestion, the commotion, and the routine in Palghar?
It’s time to trade the honking cars for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the buildings of Palghar for the majestic Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in managing travelers traveling specifically from Palghar. We understand that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an story.
Whether you are planning a vacation drive or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to securing the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Getting to Us from Palghar
If coming by car: The route from Palghar is beautiful but can be long. We recommend departing early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about local transport. We can arrange a taxi to take you immediately to your hotel or the safari gate.

Queries for Palghar Visitors
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are not allowed in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Palghar. 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 strictly need to book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Palghar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure places to visit in India. Our staff are verified professionals who value your safety.
