From the Hustle of Salumbar to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the noise, and the city life in Salumbar?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the sight of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Salumbar for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Salumbar. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are arranging a vacation road trip or catching a train to get to us, here is your complete guide to reserving the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Salumbar
If coming by car: The journey from Salumbar is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We suggest leaving early to reach Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can organize a car to take you straight to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended schedule for travelers from Salumbar is usually a short package to increase your odds of spotting the Tiger.

A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to take two Gypsies.
