The
Corbett National Park is a primal jungle as Rudyard Kipling put it. Despite
extensive tourism, the park has managed to retain its primeval ambience,
where man must walk timorously, in awe and with a strong sense of his own
insignificance.
The main feature of Corbett National Park is valley is
the Ramganga River, running broadly west by south west, the catchments
streams of which vivisect the land into numerous little ridges and ravines.
The topography is therefore very varied-the streams forming islands of
'sheesham' trees, the ridges being thickly foliated with 'sal' trees and the
pastures carrying long grasses. In this variety of habitat abounds wildlife
of enchanting beauty including 50 mammals, 577 birds and at least 25
reptiles. The river teems with mahseer, gharial, mugger and flocks of
cormorants.
Corbett National Park boasts of a rich natural
heritage with its varied topography, diverse flora and fauna, the beauty of
the meandering ramganga river and the splendour of its landscapes. The
elusive Tiger, now the cynosure of every tourists questing eye, wild
Elephants and Leopards are the main attractions, besides other mammal and
bird species. One of the few national parks in India with basic lodging
facilities in the heart of the jungle at Dhikala - the setting is awesome
and the location picturesque. For the wildlife enthusiast there is no
alternative but to stay inside the Parkat Dhikala Forest Lodge. This lodge
is managed by the forest department who are unable to provide a professional
standard of service - this is our forte - we at KRISHAN HOTELS are fully
adept in providing luxury in the wilds. The Elephant ride from Dhikala is
the ultimate experience in wildlife viewing and provides the opportunity to
shoot the tiger with a camera. Corbett natinal Park with over 600 different
bird species is considered one of the true bird parks of the world. Raptors
are of infinite variety and occasssionally species of hawks and eagles
appear, which tax the talent of the most gifted ornithologists. The Park is
avid birdwatchers destination, Mangoli valley, Nainital and Pangot in the
Kumaon region are unmistakeably the most remarkable areas for higher
himalayan birds.
