From the Hustle of Hoshangabad to the Sounds of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the jams, the noise, and the city life in Hoshangabad?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the sight of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Hoshangabad for the majestic Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Hoshangabad. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a holiday getaway or catching a train to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Hoshangabad
If driving: The road from Hoshangabad is scenic but can be long. We suggest leaving at dawn to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can arrange a taxi to take you straight to your hotel or the safari gate.
- Tip: The perfect plan for visitors from Hoshangabad is usually a 2 Night / 3 Day package to increase your odds of finding the Tiger.

FAQs for Hoshangabad Visitors

A: The rule is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will strictly need to hire two Gypsies.
