From the City Life of Tonk to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the traffic, the pollution, and the daily grind in Tonk?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the chirping of the Jungle. It’s time to leave behind the buildings of Tonk for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Tonk. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are organizing a vacation drive or catching a train to reach us, here is your complete guide to booking the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Tonk
If coming by car: The route from Tonk is picturesque but can be long. We advise starting at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about cabs. We can arrange a car to take you comfortably to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for tourists from Tonk is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to increase your possibility of spotting the Tiger.
Why Guests from Tonk Choose Us
You have endless options to reserve online. Why choose to travel with a local agency like Corbett Online Booking?
- No Agents: You aren't chatting to a call center. You are connecting with us, directly at the park gates.
- Permit Management: Arriving all the way from Tonk, the last thing you want is to turn up and find out permits are unavailable. We get your permits before you even prepare your bags.
- Resort + Safari Combos: Since you need accommodation, we offer combo rates that are better than reserving hotels and safaris alone online.

Queries for Tonk Visitors
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Personal cars are not allowed in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must transfer into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Tonk. 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 hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we reserve?
A: Since you are coming all the way from Tonk, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots get booked weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for couples?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the best tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are verified professionals who value your safety.
