From the Crowd of Shahdara to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the commotion, and the daily grind in Shahdara?
It’s time to swap the busy streets for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the concrete of Shahdara for the towering Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in serving guests coming specifically from Shahdara. We get it that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are organizing a holiday getaway or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Shahdara
If coming by car: The route from Shahdara is picturesque but can be lengthy. We suggest starting early to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about taxis. We can schedule a pick-up to take you comfortably to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best itinerary for visitors from Shahdara is usually a short package to increase your luck of spotting the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Shahdara. 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 absolutely need to book two Gypsies.
