Common Questions for Rampur Travelers
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are not allowed in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must shift into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Rampur. 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 take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Rampur, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits get booked weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who value your safety.
