Corbett National Park-A Voyage Full of Thrill and Fun

My traveller's heart insists me to go on adventurous expedition every now and then. Just two days in my hand on weekend in last month, I packed my bag for Corbett National Park. Reason behind choosing the wildlife destination was Michael, my all time travel companion. He is a die-hard wildlife enthusiast who loves to capture the different activities of loving creatures at jungles.

Corbett Riverside Resort
Leaving from Delhi, we both were too excited to encounter mighty animals that time. We left by car and had a convenient trip to Corbett. It is among the famous wildlife parks in India, which positions itself in Uttaranchal.

Soon, we moved towards our place for relaxation, which was just 11 km from the park. After taking rest at The Corbett Riverside Resort, we could shed our tiredness. The peaceful ambience of this luxury wildlife resort made us relaxed soon. We enjoyed our comfortable accommodation at the resort that positions itself near to the well-known Corbett Wildlife Sanctuary.

Then, we moved on to Jungle as it was being really hard for us to wait. I came across wild boars and Indian fox at once. On moving ahead, the sight of mighty chital just made me to hold my breath. Michael got busy in clicking those animals while I was just enjoying spotting a new animal after every few steps. Next I met with a small herd of elephants who were just engaged in their own world. It seemed that they did not even feel my presence.

The excitement was still on and got multiplied when I spotted some beautiful birds at Corbett National Park. It was a part of Project Tiger in the year 1973. It was truly unbelievable to catch the sight of the beautiful emerald dove! The beauty of that lovely bird kept me captivated and I especially requested Michael to shoot some pictures of emerald dove.

Soon, I felt tired and moved ahead for food with Michael. We had scrumptious food there including egg curry, fried rice and paranthas. The food was too good that it satiated us and I felt like taking a nap.

Moving on to our wildlife expedition at Jim Corbett National Park, I was still waiting to have a glance of tiger. By evening, we were not able to spot the tigers, which made me feel disappointed. To my surprise, Michael seemed quite confident and he assured me that before leaving we would see the tigers. Disagreed with him, I consoled myself to come next time but still my wish to see tiger could not allow me to take rest.

We both again got busy in spotting wildlife at the park. Making our way through dense bushes and trees, we soon reached to a place where deers were enjoying one another company. And suddenly, what I came across, a tiger was coming towards the deer. My happiness to see the tiger just turned into thrill and I could hardly believe on my eyes. Michael shook my shoulder and then it was, I could realize that I was actually spotting the tiger.

We were still for half a minute while watching the tiger and within no time, the tiger jumped and hid himself in the dense bushes. The experience was too thrilling that it was in my memory for a long time. Based on my experience, I would recommend wildlife lovers that they should go for India Wildlife tour packages for an incredible memory.

My purpose to visit Corbett National Park was fulfilled. With a delightful heart, we left for Delhi next day and thus, I was able to make the most of my weekend.
