From the Chaos of Rajkot City to the Wilderness of the Jungle: The Ultimate Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you exhausted of the jams, the din, and the city life in Rajkot City?
It’s time to trade the busy streets for the sound of the Wild. It’s time to ditch the buildings of Rajkot City for the majestic Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a local tour operator in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we focus in managing travelers traveling specifically from Rajkot City. We know that when you come this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an experience.
Whether you are arranging a holiday getaway or catching a flight to arrive at us, here is your detailed guide to booking the ideal Jeep Safari.
The Route: Reaching Us from Rajkot City
If road tripping: The drive from Rajkot City is beautiful but can be lengthy. We suggest starting at dawn to reach Ramnagar by mid-day.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't bother about cabs. We can organize a cab to take you straight to your stay or the jungle entry.
- Tip: The recommended plan for visitors from Rajkot City is usually a weekend package to maximize your chances of seeing the Tiger.
