From the City Life of Badrinath to the Wilderness of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the congestion, the noise, and the city life in Badrinath?
It’s time to swap the busy streets for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to escape the concrete of Badrinath for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Badrinath. We get it that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a vacation drive or catching a flight to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Badrinath
If driving: The road from Badrinath is beautiful but can be lengthy. We recommend departing early in the morning to get to Ramnagar by mid-day.
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 straight to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The best itinerary for tourists from Badrinath is usually a short trip to increase your odds of finding the Tiger.
