Important: Safari rates and booking rules can change. The official Corbett Tiger Reserve portal should be treated as the final authority for your travel date.
Jim Corbett Ticket Price 2026: Quick Answer
| Day Safari Zone | Indian Permit | Foreign Permit | Vehicle Charge | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jhirna | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Dhela | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Bijrani | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹2,700 | ₹1,000 |
| Garjia | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Durgadevi | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹3,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Sonanadi | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹2,800–₹4,500 | ₹1,000 |
| Pakhro | ₹3,380 | ₹6,680 | ₹2,800 | ₹1,000 |
The official pricing states that the listed pricing includes the per-person safari fee, vehicle permit fee, solid-waste-management charges and portal fee. The official page also notes that applicable additional charges may still apply.
Is the Jim Corbett Safari Price Per Person or Per Jeep?
This is one of the most common points of confusion. The official booking process states that day-safari charges are based on one Gypsy/vehicle booking, regardless of whether the permit is for one or six individuals. A safari permit allows a maximum of six individuals, including up to two children under 12 under the stated rules.
So do not multiply the complete vehicle charge by six. Instead, look at the permit, vehicle and guide components shown for your selected zone and booking.
Jim Corbett Jeep Safari Price 2026
For a normal day Jeep/Gypsy safari, the current official pricing structure has three major components: the safari permit, vehicle charge and guide charge. For Indian visitors, the day permit listed by the official portal is ₹3,380, while the vehicle and guide charges vary by zone.
The official website states that only authorised guides and Gypsies are permitted inside the Corbett Tiger Reserve.

Jim Corbett Canter Safari Price 2026
Dhikala is different from the day-safari zones listed above. The official pricing page states that Dhikala does not offer day safari permits; visitors can use a Canter safari or book an eligible night stay.
| Canter | Indian | Foreign Visitor | Boarding Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dhikala Canter | ₹1,500 + 18% GST | ₹3,000 + 18% GST | Ramnagar & Dhangarhi |
The official site describes Canter as a shared 16-seater safari. Booking rules differ from a Jeep/Gypsy permit, so check the official terms before payment.
For a practical comparison, see our Jeep Safari vs Canter Safari guide.
Jim Corbett Safari Zone-Wise Pricing & Season
| Zone | Entry Gate | Official Visit Period |
|---|---|---|
| Jhirna | Dhela | Throughout the year |
| Dhela | Dhela | Throughout the year |
| Bijrani | Amdanda | 15 October–30 June |
| Garjia | Garjiya | 15 October–30 June on pricing table; verify current booking status |
| Durgadevi | Durgadevi | 15 November–15 June |
| Sonanadi | Vatanvasa | 15 November–15 June |
| Pakhro | Pakhro | 15 November–15 June |
The official Corbett website currently lists zone access and seasonal dates on its pricing/navigation pages. Always check the live portal for your intended visit date because operational notices can change.
Use our Jim Corbett Safari Zones Guide to understand the differences between the zones before paying for a permit.
Who Can Get a Discount?
The official pricing page currently lists concessions for eligible Indian senior citizens and students. Indian senior citizens can receive a ₹250 per-person discount on day-safari permit charges with valid ID. Indian students aged 12–18 can receive a ₹375 concession with valid student ID, according to the current official pricing page.
Because concession rules and documentation requirements can be updated, carry the required original/valid identification and confirm the current terms during booking.
How Many People Can Enter on One Safari Permit?
The current official rule allows a maximum of 6 individuals per day-safari permit, including up to two children under 12 under the stated criteria. The official booking page also says the maximum is six individuals per booking.
Children and identification requirements should be checked carefully before payment because incorrect passenger details can create problems at entry.
Jim Corbett Safari Booking Window 2026
The official booking process says Jeep Safari reservations open progressively and can be made up to 45 days in advance. The official portal also requires the traveller's personal information and original ID details for the booking process.
Current September 2026 notices indicate that some zones are transitioning to the upgraded portal while other zones continue under the existing booking process until further notice. The official notice specifically says Bijrani advance booking moved to the new portal from September 10, 2026, with Dhela, Jhirna and Garjiya transitioning from September 12, 2026.
Because portal arrangements are currently changing, always check the official Corbett website immediately before booking.
How to Book a Jim Corbett Safari Ticket
- Open the official Corbett Tiger Reserve booking portal.
- Select your safari zone and travel date.
- Choose the available morning or afternoon permit.
- Enter passenger and identification details exactly as required.
- Review the booking summary and applicable charges.
- Complete payment and save the generated ticket/QR details.
- Follow the reporting instructions for your selected gate.
The official booking guide states that Gypsy allocation is automated, with an option to change/select a specific Gypsy within the stated post-booking window. It also says tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable after payment.
Use the official portal: Corbett Tiger Reserve warns visitors about unauthorised booking websites and recommends booking directly through its official website.
What Is Included in the Safari Ticket?
For day safaris, the official pricing page says the listed pricing encompasses the per-person safari fee, vehicle permit fee, solid-waste-management charges and portal fee. The vehicle and guide components are displayed separately in the zone-wise pricing table.
Do not assume that every amount shown on a third-party website is an official government tariff. Compare your booking summary with the official portal before payment.
Jim Corbett Safari Cost: Simple Budget Example
Suppose an Indian group of up to six people wants a day Jeep safari. Your planning should consider:
- Official safari permit charge
- Vehicle/Gypsy charge for the selected zone
- Guide charge
- Any applicable additional portal, tax or service components shown at checkout
- Transport between your resort and safari gate
This is why the total holiday cost can be higher than the headline “ticket price.” For a broader calculation, use our Jim Corbett Trip Cost Guide.
Do You Need a Separate Taxi to Reach the Safari Gate?
Usually, yes, your accommodation and safari booking are separate parts of the trip. Arrange your resort-to-gate transfer according to your permit's reporting instructions. Do not assume your room booking automatically includes a safari transfer.
If you are arriving by train, our Nearest Railway Station to Jim Corbett guide explains Ramnagar Railway Station and onward transfers.

How to Avoid Safari Booking Scams
Corbett Tiger Reserve currently warns tourists about unauthorised websites that imitate official booking services. The official website specifically recommends booking directly through the official Corbett Tiger Reserve portal.
- Use the official Corbett Tiger Reserve website.
- Do not trust a domain merely because it contains words such as “Corbett,” “booking” or “national park.”
- Do not share payment details with an unknown booking agent without verifying the service.
- Check the final permit, passenger details and QR information after payment.
- Keep screenshots/records of your confirmed booking.
Important 2026 Booking Tips
