From the Hustle of Veraval to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the congestion, the noise, and the work stress in Veraval?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to escape the buildings of Veraval for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in managing travelers traveling specifically from Veraval. We get it that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are thinking of a vacation excursion or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your complete guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Veraval
If driving: The journey from Veraval is enjoyable but can be tiring. We recommend leaving early to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can schedule a car to take you directly to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The best schedule for folks from Veraval is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day tour to maximize your odds of finding the Tiger.

Common Questions for Veraval Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not permitted in the core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must transfer into our registered Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Veraval. 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 absolutely need to hire two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Veraval, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Permits finish weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.

A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our staff are trusted professionals who focus on your safety.
