From the Hustle of Rupnagar to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the traffic, the pollution, and the daily grind in Rupnagar?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sight of the Jungle. It’s time to leave behind the concrete of Rupnagar for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Rupnagar. We get it that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are organizing a vacation excursion or catching a transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Rupnagar
If road tripping: The road from Rupnagar is beautiful but can be tiring. We advise departing at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can schedule a car to take you comfortably to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best plan for folks from Rupnagar is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to boost your possibility of finding the Tiger.

Queries for Rupnagar Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not allowed in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for security. You must shift into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Rupnagar. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The capacity is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will absolutely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Rupnagar, you cannot gamble on "walk-in" bookings. Slots sell out weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.

A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our drivers are vetted professionals who prioritize your safety.
