On the first day of our adventure tour in Corbett National Park we met our tour guide and naturalist. They first gave us a brief set of instructions about the history of the place and about the necessary safety measures and behavior which one must keep in mind while traveling in the jungle.
We learned from our guide that Jim Corbett National Park is named after the hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett. This park situated in Uttrakhand acts as a natural reserve for critically endangered Bengal tiger of India. This park is also blessed with a sub- Himalayan belt whose view is one of the most memorable instances of our visit to the park. Our North India tour was full of unlimited adventure at every turn we encountered varied wildlife animals and learnt great deals about them.
As informed by our naturalist the park is an eternal abode of 585 species of resident and migratory birds out of which we spotted various eagles, blossom headed parakeet and red jungle fowl. We were also able to site a wide variety of wildlife including various reptiles, amphibians, and dragonflies. The most enchanting and exhilarating experience of our wildlife tour in North India was when we spotted Bengal Tigers. The thick forest, Ramganga River and plentiful prey make this place an ideal abode of these furious predators.
The elephant safari early in the morning on the lush green forest and the view of majestic Himalayas along with a view of innocent brute creatures at a playful mood all has bequeath my mind with most pleasing memories. Even now when only a thought of my Corbett National Park Adventure Tour and the time spent there refreshes my mind and provides me a new vigor.
