Our Special Trips - Multi Day Hikes
Camp Forktail Creek has large tracts of adjoining forest area that
extend to the higher reaches of the outer Himalayas with
altitudes varying from 400m to 2500m. Here, grasslands and
tropical forests dominated by Sal trees give way to Oak, Pine
and Rhododendron in higher grounds, with breathtaking vistas of
snow-capped Himalayan peaks.
Dominant peaks visible on clear winter days are Trishul (7120m),
Nandadevi (7816m), Nanda Kot (6861m), Nanda Ghunti (6309m),
Nanda Khat (6611m) and the Panchachuli Range (five peaks
ranging from 6904m to 6312m).
One of the best ways to experience the landscape is through
hikes, long and short. Minute observations are possible on foot
as also the healthiest adrenalin rush! Camping in the forest or by
a mountain stream becomes an unforgettable experience...
Possible Hikes
Camp Forktail Creek is located close to the ridge where Jim
Corbett shot the infamous ‘man-eater of Mohan’ in the early
1900’s. With trained staff and a naturalist from Camp Forktail
Creek, guests can retrace the trail Jim Corbett walked on.
Another lovely hike in the winter months is from Camp to Nainital
via Pangot. This forest trek offers huge diversity in bird and
mammal life (the most notable being the elusive Serow) as a lot
of them migrate to lower regions in the winter months.
And last, our most cherished walks while being based at Camp,
are the long day hikes, sometimes from sunrise to sunset in the
forests adjoining Camp. There are endless tracks for each new
day.
All hikes are rated easy to moderate, and are physically possible
for beginners.
