Getting There: From Yamuna Vihar to the Jungle
Since you are coming from Yamuna Vihar, here is the smartest way to reach us:
- By Air: The nearest airport is Pantnagar (approx 2 hours from Corbett). You can take a flight from Yamuna Vihar (via Delhi) to Pantnagar. Corbett Step can secure a cab to pick you up from the airport.
- By Train: The nearest station is Ramnagar. There are direct trains from major hubs. If you are coming from Yamuna Vihar, connecting via Delhi is usually the smoothest route.
