Nainital-and-Ramnagar

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.

My first encounter with wildlife was with a group of friends, as part of a nature walk inside this same national park, organized by the forest department on the occasion of the annual wildlife conservation event named "Wildlife Week". Since then I have a great love and passion for the wildlife and the Corbett National Park so join me on this tour to see why is it so special and a life-changing experience.
