This is Lalit Mohan from Devbhumi Tourism, Corbett is my hometown and I have been serving this destination since 2010. You can treat me as a destination expert for Jim Corbett National Park because I am aware of every corner of Ramnagar city or Corbett and I know all the secrets of Corbett jeep safaris.
Before proceeding further I would like to ask you one question. Are you happy with your daily routine job or business? Though most people don’t like their daily routine job or business if they don’t like what they are doing and besides this, some people love what they do or they do what they love and learn new things every day. Likewise, the people going deeper and deeper into their passion and work makes them perfect and shiny.
So, the point is the same psychology applies to the drivers and guides of Corbett because some drivers and guides love nature and their work to go inside the jungle and explore it deeply every time. But most of these are only doing their daily routine job/duty.
No matter how many times you have visited Jim Corbett, you will be always excited before a wildlife jeep safari to Corbett. If you are coming the first time you may be afraid of any mishappening or danger because Corbett is a dangerous place, especially in core areas but don’t worry you are not going to explore core areas. Similarly, for drivers and guides, it is not very exciting because they do Corbett jeep safari twice a day.
It is their daily job and they will not entertain you much if you don’t behave well with them. They can spoil your whole safari if they want, but you will not be aware of this. I have many acquaintances working as a driver and guide in Corbett and trust me I have seen some of them finishing their safaris within 2 hours.

How to book a jeep safari in Corbett?
Jim Corbett’s safari/night stay reservation requires three individual bookings. First of all, you will need an authority safari permit which can be booked on the Official Website of Corbett Tiger Reserve. The official website is the only way to get a permit either for a jeep safari or a night stay in Corbett National Park.
All the reservations can be made through the official website for all the tourist zones of Corbett. After getting the permit you will need to book a jeep and guide separately for your safari. You will need to book your jeep in advance whereas a guide can be booked at the time of entry. Let’s talk in detail.
Corbett Jeep Safari can be booked in the following 3 easy steps. However, you must have knowledge of computers and the internet to book a safari permit because it can be generated only through the website. The government has closed the counter bookings on a first come first basis at their office in Ramnagar. So, reaching Corbett without a permit will not be a good idea especially when you are a wildlife lover. Alternatively, to skip all the steps you can hire us to make all the things happen with a single step of contacting us.
