From the Hustle of Tonk City to the Sounds of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the congestion, the noise, and the routine in Tonk City?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the concrete of Tonk City for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in serving guests coming specifically from Tonk City. We realize that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a weekend road trip or catching a transport to reach us, here is your complete guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Tonk City
If coming by car: The journey from Tonk City is scenic but can be long. We recommend departing 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 stress about local transport. We can book a taxi to take you immediately to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal plan for travelers from Tonk City is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day tour to boost your odds of finding the Tiger.

Queries for Tonk City Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are prohibited in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must shift into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Tonk City. 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 definitely need to book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Tonk City, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for couples?
A: 100%. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who prioritize your safety.
