Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand


Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand

Corbett is open from mid November to mid June. The months of December and January are the best time to enjoy the scenic beauty and the sight of wild animals lazing around in the warm sun. Bengal Tigers are the prime denizens of the jungle here that spreads over 500 square kilometres. 

They share the habitat with elephants, hog deer, Himalayan black bear, langurs, monkeys and leopards that stay in the highlands. There are over 600 species of birds and 25 species of reptiles that migrate to or inhabit the park.

The best thing to do is  go on a jungle safari! One can witness the wildlife at Corbett through an elephant  or jeep safari. Elephant safaris are  organised in Dhikala.
