From Basti to the Jungle: Your Complete Route Guide to Jim Corbett

So, you have decided to leave Basti and head to the land of Tigers. Great choice! But the first question is: "How do I get there?"

Jim Corbett National Park is located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand. Depending on where you live in Basti, the journey can be a fun road trip or a comfortable train ride.

At Corbett Online Booking, we don't just handle your safaris; we help you with the entire journey. Here is the best way to reach us from Basti.

🚗 Option 1: Driving from Basti

If you are a fan of long drives, the journey to Corbett is beautiful.

• The Route: If you are driving from Basti, your GPS destination should be Ramnagar, Uttarakhand.
• Road Conditions: The highways leading to Uttarakhand are generally smooth. However, once you enter the hilly terrain near Ramnagar, drive carefully.
• Pit Stops: There are plenty of dhabas en route, especially around Gajraula and Moradabad, famous for their food.

Pro Tip for Basti Drivers:
Download the offline maps for the Ramnagar area before you leave Basti, as the mobile network can be patchy in the forest approach areas.

For many travelers from Basti, the train is the most convenient option.

• Nearest Station: Ramnagar (RMR). This station is the end point and is located right next to the park boundaries.
• Connectivity: Check if there is a direct train from Basti to Ramnagar.
  • If Yes: Book early! These trains fill up fast.
  • If No: Book a train from Basti to Delhi or Moradabad. From there, it is a short bus ride to Corbett.
• The Vibe: The train journey offers great views of the rural landscape as you approach the Himalayas.
