From the Noise of Tapi to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the jams, the pollution, and the daily grind in Tapi?
It’s time to trade the city lights for the sound of the Jungle. It’s time to ditch the concrete of Tapi for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in managing travelers traveling specifically from Tapi. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are organizing a weekend drive or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Tapi
If coming by car: The road from Tapi is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We suggest departing early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about local transport. We can arrange a cab to take you comfortably to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for tourists from Tapi is usually a short tour to boost your possibility of finding the Tiger.

Common Questions for Tapi Travelers

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Tapi. 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 book two Gypsies.

A: Since you are coming all the way from Tapi, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Permits sell out weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
