Online Canter Safari Booking

A canter is an open bus which can seat 16 tourists at a time apart from a guide. You can book it online to enjoy tiger sighting along with a large group of family and friends. It is important to note that a canter safari is operational only in the Dhikala zone of Jim Corbett National Park. Canter safari is available to tourists residing outside the zone. Unlike a jeep safari which is for 3 hours, a canter safari is of approximately 5.30 hours duration.

Online Canter Safari Booking Procedure

Only two canter safaris are done in a day with a maximum of 2 canters allowed at a time. The morning safari takes place from 6:00 am - 11.30 am and the afternoon safari takes place from 12-5.30 pm. Since only a limited number of seats are available, prior booking for canter safari is done. Indians can make a booking for canter safari 45 days prior to their visit while foreigners need to pre-book 90 days in advance. Booking for canter safari can be done from the official Jim Corbett National Park website (www.jimcorbettsafaribooking.com/online-safari-booking-jim-corbett.html). Once the booking is done, canters collect tourists from their place of stay in Ramnagar, take them to Dhikala and drop them back post safari to Ramnagar. The price of canter safari is INR 1500 per person for Indian nationals and INR 3000 per person for foreigners.
