Jim Corbett National Park is a forested wildlife sanctuary in northern India’s Uttarakhand State. Rich in flora and fauna, it’s known for its Bengal tigers. Animals, including tigers, leopards and wild elephants, roam the Dhikala zone. On the banks of the Ramganga Reservoir, the Sonanadi zone is home to elephants and leopards, along with hundreds of species of birds.
The planning
We
planned an office trip to Corbett with barely 2 weeks in hand. Two of my
colleagues were in constant talks with the tour operators for 2 weeks to get us
the best possible deal. Finally we did get the best possible deal at INR 6000
per head which included:
· -Travel
to and from Noida to Corbett in a 26 seater AC bus
· -Stay
for 2 nights in Saalvan Resort and Spa , a 4 star resort
· -2*Breakfast,
1*Lunch, 2*Dinner – Buffet system
· -Tiger
Safari
· -Trip
to Garjiya Devi mandir
The Journey
We
departed from our office in Noida on 11th March at around 1 PM in
the 26 seater AC bus which was way above my expectations. The driver was a very
jolly fellow and didn’t create any issues. We played music and were enjoying
till we stopped at Gajrula Bikenarwala for a late lunch. A big disappointment
as the charm of having dhabha food while travelling was lost. However as we
were a large group, we enjoyed the Cholle Bature together and clicked lot of
pictures before heading back to the bus.
