From the Hustle of Vashi to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the traffic, the pollution, and the work stress in Vashi?
It’s time to swap the city lights for the chirping of the Jungle. It’s time to leave behind the skyline of Vashi 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 hosting tourists arriving specifically from Vashi. We realize that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are thinking of a vacation excursion or catching a train to reach us, here is your detailed guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Vashi
If driving: The journey from Vashi is beautiful but can be lengthy. We advise leaving early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can book a pick-up to take you directly to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal plan for folks from Vashi is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to boost your possibility of spotting the Tiger.
