From the Crowd of Sangli to the Roar of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you weary of the gridlock, the commotion, and the city life in Sangli?
It’s time to exchange the city lights for the call of the Wild. It’s time to forget the skyline of Sangli for the green Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in hosting tourists arriving specifically from Sangli. 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 transport to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to securing the dream Jeep Safari.
The Trip: Reaching Us from Sangli
If coming by car: The journey from Sangli is beautiful but can be long. We propose starting early in the morning to reach Ramnagar by noon.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you land at Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't stress about taxis. We can arrange a pick-up to take you straight to your hotel or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The perfect plan for visitors from Sangli is usually a weekend tour to boost your luck of spotting the Tiger.
