Ramnagar: Find hotels and get oriented in the surrounding area

Ramnagar is a clear reference point for a trip to Corbett Tiger Reserve. When planning your trip, you can distinguish between travelling by rail or road and visiting places in the surrounding area.

Rail and road connections

Ramnagar is the nearest rail connection to Corbett Tiger Reserve and also the terminus of the broad-gauge Delhi–Moradabad–Ramnagar branch line of North East Railway. If you are planning to travel by train, you can regard Ramnagar as a specific destination. The town is also connected by road to Delhi and Lucknow. This means both rail and road connections to these two cities are useful for planning.

Nearby destinations

Dhangarhi is the main entrance to Corbett Tiger Reserve. It lies on the Ramnagar–Ranikhet road, about 19 km from Ramnagar. Dhangarhi is therefore a distinct reference point for travellers including the reserve in their plans. The entrance and Ramnagar as a rail connection serve different purposes: one marks the main entrance to the reserve, while the other is the nearest rail connection.

On the way to Dhikala, about 10 km from Ramnagar, a large rock rises from the bed of the Kosi River. The Garjia Devi Temple stands at its summit. The rock, the river, and the temple form a specific landmark in the surrounding area; this point is also on a route to Dhikala. This destination can therefore be understood differently from Dhangarhi, which is described as the main entrance to the reserve.

Garjiya Devi Temple and the Kosi

The Garjiya Devi Temple is in the village of Garjiya near Ramnagar. It is visited by local residents as well as devotees from across Uttarakhand. Devotees worship Garjiya Devi and bathe in the clear waters of the Kosi after praying. Visitors reach the temple by crossing a bridge over the Kosi and then climbing 60 steps. The approach therefore involves both a river crossing and a flight of steps. If you are planning a visit, these steps are useful to know about, along with the site's religious significance.

Day visits to the Bijrani Safari Zone

The Bijrani Safari Zone of Corbett Tiger Reserve offers day visits with a chance to see the park's forests, and is conveniently close to Ramnagar. This is a different kind of visit from the Garjiya Devi Temple: Bijrani focuses on the park's forests, while the temple is a place of worship and prayer beside the Kosi. If a day visit to the zone is part of your plans, check the current visiting options in advance.

Compare the location details of a specific hotel with your travel plans. This helps you focus your search on Ramnagar as your destination and include nearby places in your plans as appropriate.
