About Us : A Legacy Rooted in the Wild
Welcome to Jim Corbett Adventures, the official digital portal of Bigcat Corbett—the leading Destination Management Company (DMC) and direct ground handler in Ramnagar, Jim Corbett National Park.
Whether you are a traveler seeking an authentic wilderness safari or a travel agent looking for a trusted B2B ground handler, our unified ecosystem offers end-to-end luxury hospitality, guaranteed safari arrangements, and direct property ownership.
At BigCat Corbett, wildlife tourism isn’t just our business—it’s our family legacy. Our foundation was built by our beloved founder and mentor, the Late Chandra Shekhar Khulbe, a legendary naturalist whose deep-rooted love for Jim Corbett National Park, acute tracking instincts, and commitment to forest conservation shaped everything we know today.
He was not only the pioneer behind our family’s journey in wildlife tourism but also the personal mentor who trained us to read the forest, respect its ecology, and deliver authentic wilderness experiences. Today, operating out of Dhikuli right on the park’s doorstep, we proudly carry forward his vision, guiding every guest with the same passion, integrity, and local insight he instilled in us.
