From the Chaos of Model Town to the Call of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the gridlock, the pollution, and the city life in Model Town?
It’s time to switch the honking cars for the call of the Jungle. It’s time to forget the buildings of Model Town for the tall Sal trees of Uttarakhand.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local safari planner in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Model Town. We understand that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a weekend getaway or catching a flight to get to us, here is your ultimate guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Model Town
If road tripping: The journey from Model Town is scenic but can be long. We propose starting early to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
