From the City Life of Gopeshwar to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the congestion, the commotion, and the routine in Gopeshwar?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the sight of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the skyline of Gopeshwar for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we take pride in serving guests coming specifically from Gopeshwar. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an memory.
Whether you are planning a vacation road trip or catching a transport to reach us, here is your complete guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Gopeshwar
If coming by car: The drive from Gopeshwar is picturesque but can be lengthy. We recommend departing early to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about taxis. We can book a taxi to take you immediately to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal itinerary for travelers from Gopeshwar is usually a short package to improve your luck of finding the Tiger.
