From the Chaos of Kurla to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the congestion, the pollution, and the city life in Kurla?
It’s time to trade the honking cars for the sound of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the buildings of Kurla for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Kurla. We understand that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a vacation getaway or catching a train to get to us, here is your ultimate guide to reserving the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Kurla
If road tripping: The journey from Kurla is beautiful but can be long. We recommend leaving early to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can arrange a taxi to take you straight to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for visitors from Kurla is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to boost your possibility of finding the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Kurla. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The legal limit is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to book two Gypsies.
