From the Chaos of Narela to the Call of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the traffic, the commotion, and the city life in Narela?
It’s time to switch the honking cars for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the skyline of Narela for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Narela. We know that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a vacation drive or catching a flight to get to us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Narela
If coming by car: The journey from Narela is scenic but can be lengthy. We advise starting early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about local transport. We can organize a taxi to take you straight to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended plan for tourists from Narela is usually a weekend package to boost your luck of seeing the Tiger.

Common Questions for Narela Visitors
Q: Can I drive my personal vehicle (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are prohibited in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must shift into our authorized Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Narela. 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 definitely need to take two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are traveling all the way from Narela, you cannot risk "walk-in" bookings. Slots get booked weeks in advance. We suggest booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.

A: Absolutely. Jim Corbett is one of the safest places to visit in India. Our drivers are trusted professionals who prioritize your safety.
