From the City Life of Vitawa to the Sounds of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the pollution, and the daily grind in Vitawa?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to escape the buildings of Vitawa for the towering Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Vitawa. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are organizing a holiday getaway or catching a transport to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to securing the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Getting to Us from Vitawa
If driving: The route from Vitawa is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We recommend departing at dawn to get to Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about cabs. We can arrange a car to take you comfortably to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect plan for visitors from Vitawa is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to increase your possibility of seeing the Tiger.

Common Questions for Vitawa Travelers
Q: Can I drive my own car (SUV/Sedan) inside the park?
A: No. Your own cars are not permitted in the main zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, etc.) for safety reasons. You must shift into our official Gypsy.
Q: We are a group of 8 people from Vitawa. 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 reserve?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Vitawa, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Permits get booked weeks in advance. We advise booking at least 30 days prior to your trip.
Q: Is it safe for couples?
A: Yes. Jim Corbett is one of the safest tourist destinations in India. Our staff are verified professionals who prioritize your safety.
