From the Chaos of Patiala to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you sick of the congestion, the commotion, and the city life in Patiala?
It’s time to switch the city lights for the chirping of the Spotted Deer. It’s time to escape the skyline of Patiala for the green Sal trees of Jim Corbett.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we specialize in welcoming visitors visiting specifically from Patiala. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an adventure.
Whether you are arranging a holiday excursion or catching a transport to get to us, here is your ultimate guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Patiala
If road tripping: The drive from Patiala is picturesque but can be lengthy. We recommend starting early to get to Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can organize a car to take you straight to your resort or the jungle entry.
