Enjoy A Wildlife Trip To Corbett National Park

noreply@blogger.com (Incredible India) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 06:30:00 +0000

Ever since I saw those big wild cats on t.v, I always wanted to see them in real. And finally when my friends planned a trip to Corbett park, this dream became a reality. Last weekend me and few of my friends went to Jim Corbet national park in Uttarakhand, to have an experience of the wild world of the country, and I must say that it was one of the best experience of my life till date.

Our Jeep although with a trained driver was making its way out of thick Corbet forest and suddenly few spotted deers came in front of us. It was just so wow, we have never seen such a beautiful animal before that and that too so much closely.

But our main aim was to see the Bengal tiger, for which we were here. First day we could not spot any but we still had 2 more days. Resting on my bed in Corbett View Resort, I can feel the peaceful serenity of that place. Next morning we began our mission.

But could not find what we were looking for. Finally just before the evening, we saw a tigress playing with her cubs. That moment everything came to a still. We captured this beautiful moment in our camera, which I would like to share with you.
