grassland areas where encounters with herds of wild elephants add to
the thrills of watching animals in their natural habitat. On the quest
to locate tigers following their pugmarks and alarm calls of other
animals, the drive takes you through the Sambhar Road, Ram Singh Road
and Thandi Sadak, each having their own legends about the king of the
jungle. Ram Singh Road along the Ramganga River is also known as the
favourite haunt of various waders, raptors and seed-eaters alike,
offering numerous opportunities to watch different species of fishing
eagles, falcons, vultures, owls and other birds of prey in action.
Grasslands in Corbett are teeming with several hundred species of
insectivores, seed-eaters and birds that feast on fruit and nuts.
DAY-3
: 24th December 2012
This
third day of CorbettCam will be dedicated the elephants and deer;
Chital, sambhar, barking deer and hog deers. So, after having tea,
we'll head straight towards the Chaur by the Ramganga. Steering through
the morning mist, there are ample chances of catching glimpses of the
denizens in silhouettes or highlighted by the stray rays piercing
through haze and shadows. While shooting In the earlier part of the
day, one may encounter pythons basking in the sun, or gaggles of
Greylag geese along the banks of Ramganga flowing through the chaur. A
quick drive back to Dhikala Rest House for breakfast; followed by
another dash into the verdant forests in the jeep, for another sojourn
into the world of the wild. Several winged hunters also visit the
Corbett during colder months, including the Osprey, the Peregrine
Falcon, the Booted Hawk- Eagle and the Steppe Eagle. Or the fabled
Collared Falconet that preys upon birds as much as four times larger.
Levels of activity increase as the sun warms up, and one may even
capture these raptors making a kill on our post-lunch safari which
usually concludes with sun down.
DAY-4
: 25th December 2012
In
the morning, wake up a bit early and having your morning tea, start
your last jeep and most exciting gypsy safari of the Corbett Tour.
Encounter the majestic tiger in its natural habitat around Thandi Road,
Ramsingh Road, Champion Road and in the vast grasslands. During summer
season you will also encounter herds of elephants as you travel on
gypsy safari. After being through with this thrilling gypsy safari,
return to Dhikala for breakfast. Now, its time to pick the bags and
check out from our rooms in Dhikala, though we still have something in
store for our participants; a safari in Bijrani, another area of the
park. On our way to Bijrani, we drive through the lush forest with fair
chances of encountering the denizens. Leaving the park area through
Dhangarhi gate, we'll take you to Corbett Motel, situated in a mango
orchard on the outskirts of Ramnagar city for a sumptuous lunch. After
lunch, we'll take a u-turn to the wild, and drive through to Bijrani, a
different range of the park. In Bijrani, we'll take you to Aamsot, a
natural spring amid a wild mango grove, known for its much lower
temperature than the surrounding areas. We'll pass through High Banks
and Kichaar, both of which are good tiger sighting zones in the Bijrani
Range of the park. On this safari too, the quest for watching wildlife
continues till sunset, when it's time to leave the park and rush to

and drive towards home.
