From the Noise of Badarpur to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the congestion, the commotion, and the routine in Badarpur?
It’s time to swap the busy streets for the sound of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the skyline of Badarpur for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in managing travelers traveling specifically from Badarpur. We get it that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a holiday road trip or catching a train to reach us, here is your complete guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Badarpur
If driving: The road from Badarpur is enjoyable but can be lengthy. We recommend leaving early to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you arrive at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can schedule a taxi to take you immediately to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best itinerary for travelers from Badarpur is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day tour to boost your luck of spotting the Tiger.
