From the Chaos of Thane to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the traffic, the commotion, and the routine in Thane?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to leave behind the concrete of Thane for the tall Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Thane. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are planning a vacation drive or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Thane
If driving: The drive from Thane is beautiful but can be lengthy. We advise leaving early in the morning to get to 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 pick-up to take you immediately to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal schedule for tourists from Thane is usually a short package to improve your luck of finding the Tiger.

- Permit Management: Arriving all the way from Thane, the last thing you want is to show up and find out permits are fully booked. We purchase your permits before you even prepare your bags.

Queries for Thane Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are prohibited in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must move into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Thane. 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 strictly need to hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Thane, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for kids?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the most secure tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are verified professionals who focus on your safety.
