From the City Life of Banswara to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the pollution, and the daily grind in Banswara?
It’s time to exchange the honking cars for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the concrete of Banswara for the towering Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in serving guests coming specifically from Banswara. We understand that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are organizing a holiday excursion or catching a transport to get to us, here is your detailed guide to securing the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Banswara
If driving: The drive from Banswara is beautiful but can be tiring. We recommend starting early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about cabs. We can arrange a cab to take you comfortably to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for folks from Banswara is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day trip to improve your possibility of finding the Tiger.
