From the Chaos of Sambhal to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the noise, and the routine in Sambhal?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sound of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the skyline of Sambhal for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in managing travelers traveling specifically from Sambhal. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a weekend road trip or catching a train to reach us, here is your complete guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Sambhal
If road tripping: The road from Sambhal is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We recommend leaving at dawn to reach Ramnagar by noon.

Queries for Sambhal Travelers

A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must move into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Sambhal. 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 take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are coming all the way from Sambhal, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
