From the Hustle of Srinagar to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the congestion, the commotion, and the daily grind in Srinagar?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the sound of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the skyline of Srinagar for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Srinagar. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are organizing a weekend getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to reserving the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Srinagar
If driving: The drive from Srinagar is enjoyable but can be tiring. We recommend leaving at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about cabs. We can book a taxi to take you comfortably to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal plan for visitors from Srinagar is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to improve your luck of seeing the Tiger.

Common Questions for Srinagar Travelers
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must transfer into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Srinagar. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The rule is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Srinagar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots get booked weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for families?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are vetted professionals who prioritize your safety.
