Wildlife Safaris
At the foothills of the Himalayas, and crossing the Ramganga river, Corbett is a beautiful park. The meandering river has made many rock pools which are extremely thrilling to cross on elephant back. The river beds are strewn with boulders washed down from the Himalayan slopes above. Areas of the Corbett Park are thickly covered with old timber trees and an incredible number of smaller shrubs that grow here. Vast areas are also under grasses which support the huge herbivore population, which is the fodder for the carnivores - the tigers, leopards and wild dogs. Large groups of wild elephants can be seen fairly regularly. Bird-life in the area is fairly rich as well with almost 500 species recorded.The Ramganga and its smaller tributaries run with India’s best known game fish and an angler will be delighted by the many scenic spots to try his luck.
A recommended stay in Corbett is for a minimum of three nights. This allows you to go on a morning or evening jeep safari, an elephant ride and a full day trip by a larger safari vehicle. All safaris are arranged by the resort and accompanied by a naturalist.
The park remains closed from 15th June to 15th November.
