From the City Life of Punjabi Bagh to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the jams, the din, and the routine in Punjabi Bagh?
It’s time to exchange the busy streets for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Punjabi Bagh for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a native travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Punjabi Bagh. We understand that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are planning a weekend drive or catching a train to reach us, here is your detailed guide to reserving the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Getting to Us from Punjabi Bagh
If driving: The drive from Punjabi Bagh is beautiful but can be tiring. We suggest starting early to reach Ramnagar by lunchtime.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about local transport. We can arrange a taxi to take you immediately to your resort or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect schedule for tourists from Punjabi Bagh is usually a weekend trip to boost your chances of finding the Tiger.
