Special Trips - Game Drives - Corbett Tiger Reserve
The Corbett Tiger Reserve is home to about 50 different
mammals, 600 birds, 26 reptiles, 7 amphibians and many insect
species. It’s not just India’s oldest National Park; it is arguably
one of the best for wildlife sightings. Also, as it spans three
distinct topographic zones -- the hilly Shivaliks, Bhabar in the
Patlidun valley and the swampy Terai, driving through it is a
spectacular experience.
What to expect
Noted to have the highest density of tigers in the country,
Corbett Tiger Reserve offers some wonderful tiger-spotting
opportunities. Feline sightings include Leopards, Jungle Cat and
the elusive Leopard Cat.
The varied topography of the Tiger Reserve offers a perfect
habitat for the Asian Elephants- this being the northern most
tract for these Pachyderms.
Special sightings include the Indian Porcupine, Yellow Throated
Marten, Smooth Coated Otter & Sloth Bear, as well as an entire
spectrum from the avian world.
Visitors can also see the snouted Gharial and the Marsh
Crocodiles basking on the banks of Ramganga River. The River
water is rich in the magnificent Mahseer - the finest sporting fish
prized by anglers.
When to go
The best time to visit Corbett Tiger Reserve is from November to
May. The day visit zone normally opens by mid-October. The
entire park is open for visitors from 15th November to 15th June.
The Park gates open at sunrise, shut at sunset and no night
driving is allowed.
Special Wildlife Trips
Corbett Tiger Reserve is perhaps one of the few national parks in
India where one can spend the whole day tracking game, and
where one can stay overnight in one of the many Forest Rest
Houses strewn about in the heart of the reserve. These age old
forest bungalows - mostly built in the British era, serve as an
idyllic base for those keen on wildlife, birds and being one with
nature. They are also ideal locales for photographers.
A trip to Camp could be combined with a day visit or even
overnight stay within Corbett Tiger Reserve. They would include
professionally escorted full day game drive/s into the day visit or
overnight zones of the Tiger Reserve, an elephant ride (subject
to availability), forest hikes for identification of forest tracks and
signs, a visit to Bhakrakot village and settlements of nomadic
local tribes to get an insight into the community around, bird
watching and the expertise of our in-house naturalist, trackers
and bird guides.
