From the Noise of Vadodara to the Sounds of the Jungle: A Complete Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the gridlock, the commotion, and the city life in Vadodara?
It’s time to swap the honking cars for the call of the Wild. It’s time to forget the buildings of Vadodara for the towering Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Vadodara. We realize that when you come this far, you don't just want a "ride"—you want an story.
Whether you are arranging a holiday drive 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 Vadodara
If driving: The drive from Vadodara is scenic but can be lengthy. We propose starting early to arrive at Ramnagar by mid-day.
If coming by Rail or Flight: Once you reach Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about cabs. We can book a cab to take you straight to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The ideal plan for tourists from Vadodara is usually a weekend tour to increase your luck of finding the Tiger.

Q: We are a group of 8 people from Vadodara. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The forest rule is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will definitely need to take two Gypsies.
