From the Crowd of Kota City to the Sounds of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the congestion, the commotion, and the city life in Kota City?
It’s time to switch the honking cars for the chirping of the Wild. It’s time to escape the concrete of Kota City for the tall Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Kota City. We know that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a holiday drive or catching a train to get to us, here is your detailed guide to securing the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Kota City
If driving: The road from Kota City is beautiful but can be long. We recommend starting at dawn to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can organize a taxi to take you straight to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended itinerary for tourists from Kota City is usually a weekend trip to maximize your luck of spotting the Tiger.
