IntoIndia

Corbett National Park was India's first National Park and the world’s second after Yellowstone National Park, USA. Established in 1936 by legendary tiger hunter Jim Corbett (1875-1955) made famous by his book ‘The Man-Eaters of Kumaon’. It is one of India’s finest National Parks, rich in bio-diversity and supports a large variety of habitats. Over 600 species of deer & birds, sloth bears, crocodiles, elephants, leopards and of course tigers, roam freely throughout the park. 

We offer an authentic jungle experience at Camp Forktail Creek. Situated near the village of Bhakrakot, the camp is surrounded by mixed deciduous forests, in which wildlife and bird-life are abundant. Hikes in these forests prove very rewarding for bird-watchers, especially when coupled with the pleasure of sighting animals whilst on foot. 

Excursions available include elephant rides, jeep safari, angling for the mighty Mahseer on the Ramganga River, overnight or multi-day trips to Dhikala forest rest house within the National Park, and multi-day elephant safaris.

This trip can be run from November 15th to June 1st subject to availability.
