From the Crowd of Panvel to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the gridlock, the pollution, and the routine in Panvel?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to forget the buildings of Panvel for the towering Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in serving guests coming specifically from Panvel. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an experience.
Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or catching a transport to get to us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Getting to Us from Panvel
If driving: The journey from Panvel is picturesque but can be tiring. We propose leaving early to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
