From the Noise of Kurukshetra to the Wilderness of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the jams, the pollution, and the routine in Kurukshetra?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the sound of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to ditch the skyline of Kurukshetra for the majestic Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Kurukshetra. We understand that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are planning a vacation excursion or catching a transport to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Kurukshetra
If driving: The journey from Kurukshetra is beautiful but can be tiring. We suggest departing early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about cabs. We can arrange a pick-up to take you immediately to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for folks from Kurukshetra is usually a short package to improve your possibility of finding the Tiger.
