What is common between a cricket test match, an extremely
smoky single malt and Corbett National Park? Many can actually - they can all
test your patience, are acquired tastes and yet are strangely favored by the
"connoisseurs".
Although his name is inspired by the legendary nature hunter
Hunter Jim Corbett, it is not surprising that one of the tigers he killed, the
Mohan Maneater, comes from these forests. Boasting a beautiful landscape of
forests, rivers and hills outside the park, Corbett is today a much larger
destination than the national park itself. Because of its proximity to Delhi
and its natural beauty, tourists who come to Corbett are not limited to true wildlife
lovers. Many fun and adventurous activities are also offered.
Corbett is the only large reserve of tigers to provide
accommodation in forest rest homes within the park. If you're not looking for
luxury, staying indoors is an unforgettable experience for wildlife and nature
lovers. However, the number of rooms is very limited and they sell like hot
cakes. The majority of visitors stay in complexes outside the park.
Wildlife observations, including tiger sightings, are often
harder here than in some other national parks - however, for any true wildlife
lover who visits, this sooner or later becomes addictive. So what makes it so
special? Well, the beautiful landscape, nestled between the foothills of the
Himalayas and the Shivaliks, is somehow wilder than in most other parks. This
savagery also seems to affect the inhabitants of this paradise, Corbett's
tigers and other wild species largely keeping man's natural shyness. This means
that here you have to apply the skills of the jungle to gain an observation. In
terms of the diversity of birds and animals, Corbett is unprecedented. About
600 species of birds have been recorded here, while very few other places have
animals and reptiles such as tiger, leopard, elephant, otter, gharial, ghoral
and yellow-throated marten , all present together.
So, do not go to Corbett to wait for you to see a nonchalant
tiger in turn - if it's your job, you'd probably be happier in a Bandhavgarh or
a Tadoba instead. But if you see a majestic male tiger crossing the
fast-flowing waters of Ramganga or a herd of elephants crossing the prairies of
Dhikala to drink water from the Ramganga Reservoir - take our word, you'll be
hooked for life.

Offbeat Experiments near Corbett
1. Hiking on the Mohan Eater Trail
This is a hike of about 8 kilometers through the forests of
the Corbett Reserve. Better done from Tanhau, the hike is mainly downhill along
animal tracks. Going down through the forest, you will take the tracks
frequented by Jim Corbett's infamous Mohan tiger-eating tiger on whose
territory you will once go. Best started early in the morning; the trail offers
excellent opportunities for bird and wildlife viewing, and sometimes even a
glimpse of big cats. However, even on days when the action of wildlife is
reduced, walking in these pristine jungles of Corbett is unforgettable.
Although jeep safaris inside the national park offer a greater chance of
spotting a tiger, it's a totally different experience to explore virtually the
same jungle and the presence of big cats all around.
2. fishing
With Corbett National Park, Bhikiyasen is the closest
destination for this activity. Here, the Ramganga River offers the opportunity
to fish two internationally renowned sport fish - Golden Mahseer and Goonch.
Both can reach a huge size, and the Golden Mahseer is known for his very tough
fight. All fishing is strictly based on catches and discards.

3. Tiger tales at Sunderkhal
This village on the Kosi River, on the eastern edge of
Corbett National Park, is on the way to an important wildlife corridor. As a
result, the village of Sunderkhal has many stories of human-animal conflict,
including the "Sunderkhal Maneater", which allegedly caused human
suffering between September 2010 and February 2011. Reports of these incidents
occurred in Sunderkhal in a newspaper and helps to understand the realities on
the ground of man-animal conflicts.
4. Drive to the Snow Point and the Corbett Watchtower
A journey of about 35 kilometers from Ramnagar leads to the
small village of Kath KiNao. It is a beautiful road with Corbett's buffer
forests on both sides of the road. After crossing the village of Mohan, the
ground begins to become uneven and you continue to climb to Kath Ki Nao, at an
altitude of about 4000 feet. Once you reach the village, a short 10 minute
uphill walk will take you to Kath Ki Nao Forest at the top of the hill. The
views from here are probably the best in the entire Corbett region. On one
side, the Kosi River meanders through the valley, with the wooded Corbett Hills
all around. On the other side, you can see the beautiful Ramganga valley below,
if the weather is clear, the mighty Nanda Devi chain, snow-covered, in the distance.
At the Chowky Hotel, there is a watchtower managed by the Corbett Tiger Reserve
staff with a wireless radio and an abandoned building. However, this is not an
ordinary building - Jim Corbett stayed here while tracking down Mohan's men
eater. The place where he killed the tiger is about a kilometer away and Jim
Corbett's faithful come here to retrace the footsteps of the legendary
gentleman.
