| Corbett tiger reserve is
perhaps one of the very few national parks
in India, where you can stay in the heart
of the reserve. Forest bungalows situated
by the river Ramganga or overlooking vast
expanses of the Dhikala grasslands serve
as an ideal base for the keen wildlife lovers
and photographers. The vast savannahs support
unusually high herbivore density such as
spotted deer, Wild Boar, Rare Hog Deer and
large herds of Elephants. The high herbivore
density attracts carnivores such as tigers,
Leopard and a variety of lesser cats.
The beautiful Ramganga valley is also a
bird watchers paradise and supports more
than 600 species including 50 birds of prey.
Experience:
One to two weeks stay advised to enjoy the
variety on offer. Join full day Jungle Jeep
Safari in Corbett National Park, Night Jeep
Safari in the park, visit to Corbett fall,
visit Crocodile pool, bird-watching excursion
to Corbett and Nainital forest. Bird and
animal sightings depend greatly on season,
timing and chance and cannot be guaranteed.
