From the Hustle of Chuim to the Roar of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the din, and the city life in Chuim?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Chuim for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Chuim. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a vacation getaway or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Chuim
If road tripping: The journey from Chuim is picturesque but can be lengthy. We suggest departing at dawn to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can organize a car to take you straight to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended schedule for visitors from Chuim is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to boost your chances of seeing the Tiger.

Queries for Chuim Visitors

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