From the Crowd of Panchmahal to the Call of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the traffic, the din, and the daily grind in Panchmahal?
It’s time to swap the city lights for the call of the Jungle. It’s time to leave behind the buildings of Panchmahal for the tall Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a locally-based tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in managing travelers traveling specifically from Panchmahal. We know that when you drive this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are organizing a holiday excursion or catching a train to get to us, here is your comprehensive guide to booking the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Getting to Us from Panchmahal
If road tripping: The road from Panchmahal is scenic but can be long. We advise leaving early to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about cabs. We can organize a car to take you comfortably to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended schedule for folks from Panchmahal is usually a short trip to increase your chances of seeing the Tiger.
