It is in the wild that we see the origins of our forefathers and the realisation of where we come from. Wildlife is an intricate part of human existence and there is no better place to start this discovery than the Jim Corbett Park.
Jim Corbett Park offers an exotic ride to the fast disappearing flora and fauna of India. It is home to more than 25 types of reptiles, 50 types of mammals, 600 types of birds and 7 types of amphibians. The main attraction is the endangered Bengal tigers, which need our support to make it to the next generation. The Corbett safari does not stop with Tigers, on a good day you can spot a plethora of other wild animals which can give you an adrenal rush like never before.
Other wild animals found in the reserve area include sambas, hogs, wild boars, elephants, sloths, and langurs. The lure of the national park is further enhanced with the presence of rare animals like black bucks, spotted deers, Himalayan Black bears and Indian Grey Mongoose. And due to its varied climatic conditions, Corbett park is also the preferred habitat of many resident and migratory birds like peacocks, eagles, jungle fowls and parakeets. |
