From the Chaos of Versova to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the congestion, the noise, and the routine in Versova?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to escape the skyline of Versova for the towering Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Versova. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are planning a holiday getaway or catching a train to reach us, here is your complete guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Versova
If coming by car: The road from Versova is picturesque but can be long. We recommend departing at dawn to reach Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can organize a cab to take you immediately to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended schedule for visitors from Versova is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day tour to maximize your odds of spotting the Tiger.
