From the Noise of Pune City to the Call of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the commotion, and the work stress in Pune City?
It’s time to swap the city lights for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to forget the skyline of Pune City for the tall Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in managing travelers traveling specifically from Pune City. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an memory.
Whether you are thinking of a weekend road trip or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your comprehensive guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Pune City
If driving: The journey from Pune City is scenic but can be lengthy. We propose starting early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can arrange a pick-up to take you directly to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for travelers from Pune City is usually a weekend tour to boost your luck of spotting the Tiger.

FAQs for Pune City Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must transfer into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Pune City. 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 take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Pune City, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who focus on your safety.
