From the City Life of Shahdol to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the congestion, the din, and the work stress in Shahdol?
It’s time to trade the honking cars for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to escape the concrete of Shahdol for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Shahdol. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are thinking of a holiday road trip or catching a flight to get to us, here is your comprehensive guide to securing the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Shahdol
If road tripping: The drive from Shahdol is enjoyable but can be tiring. We recommend departing at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can book a pick-up to take you directly to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal plan for travelers from Shahdol is usually a short tour to increase your chances of seeing the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Shahdol. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will definitely need to take two Gypsies.
