From the Chaos of Umaria to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the jams, the din, and the routine in Umaria?
It’s time to trade the city lights for the call of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to ditch the concrete of Umaria for the majestic Sal trees of Jim Corbett.

Common Questions for Umaria Visitors

A: The rule is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will definitely need to book two Gypsies.
