guides in open jeeps to Bijrani range forest, Jhirna, Lohachaur. The
duration of safari is about three to four hours and is conducted
early morning or in the afternoon till sunset. The standard
procedure of viewing wildlife or tiger tracking is in open jeeps.
Each jeep can seat upto four persons comfortably. Besides the
visitors, the jeep has an expert driver and a nature guide.
The best time for tiger tracking
and birding is either early morning or late evening. One can book
jeep safaris in advance while booking the accommodation.
Elephant
ride
Riding the elephant is the best mode of moving through the dense
forest and rugged terrain of Corbett National Park. The ride can be
very rewarding for wildlife enthusiasts and birders. If one opts for
an overnight stay at the forest rest house, the elephant ride is
provided within the package. The elephant ride is sometimes
rewarding when used for tiger tracking in the grasslands.

Bird-watching in a jeep
One can use a jeep safari for birding within the jungle. One can
take a morning and / or an afternoon safari.
Angling
We exercise the "catch and release system". Though boasting an
abundance of fish species, it is for the mighty "Mahseer", a large
fighting fish that India is best known for, in the fishing
world.Mahseer fishing tours are conducted on the Ramganga river in
the periphery of Corbett National Park and higher reaches of the
river. Fly-fishing and spinning the rivers offers great pleasure to
the sportsman, who is called upon to pit his skill to outwit the
mighty Mahseer.
Angling here is subject to
permissions available from the forest department on advance
notice.Anglers will have to bring their own equipment. Local fishing
guides, who are highly experienced are deputed with anglers. We
provide transportation, camp equipment, packed or fresh meals and
fishing gillees. One can use a few good pools in river Ramganga for
Mahseer fishing. One can take morning and afternoon walks by the
river for angling. The anglers are required to carry their own
fishing gear.
