From the Noise of Shivaji Park to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the din, and the work stress in Shivaji Park?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sight of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the concrete of Shivaji Park for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in serving guests coming specifically from Shivaji Park. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an memory.
Whether you are thinking of a vacation road trip or catching a flight to reach us, here is your complete guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Shivaji Park
If coming by car: The drive from Shivaji Park is picturesque but can be long. We recommend departing early to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about taxis. We can arrange a taxi to take you directly to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect itinerary for travelers from Shivaji Park is usually a short tour to improve your chances of spotting the Tiger.
