Corbett

Walk through the idyllic landscape, guided by the Tribal people, who have intimate knowledge of the forest terrain, on a daylong adventure. Different nature trails traversing diverse habitats form the trekking routes, generally 4 to 5 km. in length. This is an interpretive programme offering excellent opportunity to watch birds, butterflies and other wildlife.

The trails often pass through evergreen and moist deciduous forests interspersed with marshy grasslands. Not only will your route pass through the amazing scenery of mountains and valleys, you may also have the chance to encounter Giant Squirrels, Gaur, Elephants, Nilgiri Langur or even the Tiger. The transfer of traditional knowledge, from the experienced ethnic guides, in the wilderness make you feel secure. The Forest Exploration is the right programme to feel nature, hear her whispers and smell her flowers.

Place of Interest

Corbett National Park lies in two districts Nainital and Pauri in the hill state of Uttaranchal in northern India. It covers an area of 521 sq. km. Its geographical location between the Himalayas and the terai, and the streams, rivers and ridges crisscrossing the terrain, present Corbett with a remarkable variety of landscapes. The most famous of Corbett wild residents are the Bengal Tiger and the Asiatic Elephant, but with about 600 species of avifauna Corbett is one of the richest bird regions of India.
Corbett National Park is characteristic of the Himalayan mountain system. Corbett’s northern areas are lined by the Lesser Himalayan chain, which extends from Pakistan, through Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal, Uttaranchal, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, and to Arunachal. The Lesser Himalayas are quite high, with an average altitude of 1800 m and are made up of crystalline rocks. The vegetation includes cold-climate tree species like pine, oak, and rhododendron. The Forest Rest House at Kanda at 1300 m is the highest point in the Park and is representative of the Lesser Himalayas.
The Ramganga river forms the most prominent hydrological resource, supplemented by tributaries, most prominent of which are the Sonanadi, Mandal and Palain rivers. The river Kosi runs proximate to the Park and is also a significant water resource for nearby areas. Wildlife is dependent on rivers, more so in the dry season, for they provide drinking water and also form home to several key aquatic species.
The different habitat types of Corbett i.e. mountains, sal forests, chaurs, khair-sissoo forests, and rivers have their distinct assemblage of plants. More than 600 species of trees, shrubs, herbs, bamboos, grasses, climbers and ferns have been identified in the Park.
Corbett remains open to tourists from 15th November to 15th June. Preserving nature in all its diversity with minimum disturbance by human activities and protecting endangered species like tiger and elephant is indeed a challenging task. A lot more effort goes into protecting unique landscapes like Corbett.
