From the Noise of Sangam Vihar to the Wilderness of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the commotion, and the city life in Sangam Vihar?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the chirping of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the skyline of Sangam Vihar for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Sangam Vihar. We know that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are arranging a holiday excursion or catching a train to get to us, here is your comprehensive guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Sangam Vihar
If coming by car: The road from Sangam Vihar is enjoyable but can be tiring. We recommend starting at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.

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