Location & Access

Camp Forktail Creek is in the village of Bhakrakot on the north-eastern periphery of Corbett Tiger Reserve,
in the state of Uttarkhand, north western India. Three distinct topographic  zones exist within the Reserve
- the Shivaliks in the north (south of Camp), the Bhabar tract of the Patlidun valley and the swampy Terai
in the south.

The Camp is in the middle of a dense mixed deciduous forest teeming with bird and animal life. Hikes in
these forests are very rewarding for bird-watching, apart from the pleasure of sighting animals on foot.
