From the Crowd of Mangolpuri to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the jams, the commotion, and the routine in Mangolpuri?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the sight of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to ditch the skyline of Mangolpuri for the green Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
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 Mangolpuri. 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 train to reach us, here is your comprehensive guide to reserving the perfect Jeep Safari.
The Drive: Reaching Us from Mangolpuri
If road tripping: The route from Mangolpuri is picturesque but can be tiring. We suggest leaving early in the morning to arrive at Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't fret about local transport. We can book a car to take you immediately to your stay or the safari gate.
- Tip: The ideal itinerary for travelers from Mangolpuri is usually a short tour to improve your luck of seeing the Tiger.
