From the City Life of Pithoragarh to the Wilderness of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the traffic, the commotion, and the routine in Pithoragarh?
It’s time to trade the city lights for the sight of the Jungle. It’s time to leave behind the skyline of Pithoragarh for the towering Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Pithoragarh. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a vacation road trip or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your complete guide to securing the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Pithoragarh
If coming by car: The route from Pithoragarh is picturesque but can be lengthy. We advise leaving early 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 pick-up to take you immediately to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect plan for travelers from Pithoragarh is usually a short package to improve your luck of finding the Tiger.

Queries for Pithoragarh Visitors

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

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

A: 100%. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are vetted professionals who value your safety.
