From the Crowd of Bathinda to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the pollution, and the city life in Bathinda?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to forget the concrete of Bathinda for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in serving guests coming specifically from Bathinda. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a vacation getaway or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your comprehensive guide to reserving the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Bathinda
If coming by car: The route from Bathinda is scenic but can be tiring. We propose departing early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about cabs. We can organize a car to take you straight to your stay or the safari gate.
