From the City Life of Ramnagar to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the traffic, the pollution, and the city life in Ramnagar?
It’s time to trade the busy streets for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to leave behind the concrete of Ramnagar for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Ramnagar. We get it that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are arranging a weekend excursion or catching a train to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Ramnagar
If coming by car: The journey from Ramnagar is beautiful but can be long. We advise starting at dawn to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can schedule a pick-up to take you straight to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The best plan for folks from Ramnagar is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to increase your possibility of finding the Tiger.
