Other Attractions Corbett Park
Ramnagar: Situated in the rich farm
belt of Terai, on the southeastern fringes of the great forests, the busy
market town of Ramnagar is the main administrative centre for Corbett
National Park and Project Tiger. Ramnagar makes a fishing base camp. At Lohachaur, 15-kms north
along the River Kosi, good anglers are in with a chance of landing the
legendary Mahseer, a redoubtable battling River Carp. Permits to have a go
must be sought from the Project Tiger office; we
also arrange all inclusive fishing trips.
Wildlife
Viewing : Chital, Sambar, and various other Deer species find refuge
in the Savannah grasslands known as the Maidan, behind the RESORT to the
south, and Tigers are occasionally drawn in looking for prey. Two hour
elephant rides, explore this sea of grass, rarely penetrating far into the
deep jungles beyond; try to convince your Mahout or Elephant driver to
venture in, as they can be quite magical. Come at dusk or dawn; in the
heat of the day you probably won’t come across much more than deer among
the tall grass. Tiger-sightings is common, all you need to have is TIME and PATIENCE.
Jeep
Safari in Corbett : Jeeps Safari and Elephant Safari, is the most convenient way to
travel within Corbett national park. We can help you to arrange your trip to Corbett Park memorable.
Note : Bring
binoculars, remain quiet, and don’t wear bright colours or strong
perfumes.
