From the Crowd of Hathras to the Sounds of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the din, and the routine in Hathras?
It’s time to swap the city lights for the call of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to ditch the concrete of Hathras for the towering Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Hathras. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are planning a weekend excursion or catching a flight to reach us, here is your complete guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Hathras
If coming by car: The road from Hathras is picturesque but can be long. We suggest leaving early to arrive at Ramnagar by noon.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about local transport. We can book a cab to take you immediately to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The ideal itinerary for folks from Hathras is usually a weekend package to improve your chances of seeing the Tiger.
