Jim Corbett National Park Weekend Tour

I am not privileged like many of my friends working in offices to have five-day working week. It was mere a coincident that I took leave on Friday and Saturday. Mere a thought of three consecutive days without work brought me great relief. Though I told my office that I was ill, in fact I had something else on mind. I was set to kick off Corbett Weekend tour, for others it may be a simple travel to Corbett park, for me it was a journey to heaven. I had heard a lot about Jim Corbett National Park. And let me tell you once you come here you will never be disappointed. It's simply fantastic and will certainly let your mind attain utmost peace of mind.



My weekend tour to Jim Corbett was handled and organised by a reputed tour and travel agency based in Mayur Vihar, Delhi. The tour operator is highly experienced and I was pretty sure no goof up will spoil my weekend fun. My journey began from New Delhi. I had chosen to travel to Corbett in a cab. I was really happy to receive a cab that was not only comfortable but equipped with air conditioner, music system and of course plenty of space to keep my kit and luggage. Let me tell you one thing once you enter the beautiful state of Uttaranchal, you will realise how congested Delhi is. After passing some busy towns, areas in proximity to Jim Corbett National Park were very less crowded and above all pollution less. While staying in Delhi I had simply forgotten how a fresh air smells like and how it feels when cool braze combs your hair! My excitement and eagerness to step in Corbett were getting on me. Well, I missed out one thing here. The journey to Corbett, especially in Nainital district is simply amazing! Lot of greenery, fresh air, mountains and panoramic sceneries are enough to bewilder you.

After arriving in Corbett, I realised there are many more ways to explore this majestic valley. Elephant safari, jeep safari and canter safari are ones that I believe are highly availed. And I was amazed to see foreigners outnumbering Indian tourists. It really gratified me that Corbett is not only famous in India but abroad as well.

When we talk about Corbett and time spent here, one cannot stop boasting about his first encounter with tigers. Well I have never seen tigers roaming so freely anywhere else. Yes they are bit shy but very harmless and at times you feel why mankind ever tried to intrude in their world. And other animals, they are equally amazing. Though its mainly known as tiger reserve, Corbett is also heaven for bird lovers and fishing lovers. Water is in plenty and I remember people talking about fishing a Mahseer.

First day on the weekend tour, I kicked off jeep safari. Jeep safari In Jim Corbett was great. Watching the nature smoothly with no pressure on your shoulders to do any task, there cannot be anything else fun. Dhikala forest lodge is nice place. People are good and hospitable. I never felt that my budget tour was lesser fun than those who availed high costing tours. Food at this place is amazing. Ask for any cuisine, quality is always there. I was very happy to see this as am bit choosy about accommodation and cuisine facilities. Second day went superb. Corbett Elephant safari I had never imagined could be so fun. Watching corbett from this seat is simply different. Do try this. After the ride, I preferred taking rest in my room. By the way I never closed my eyes a single moment. Scenes around me always kept me fascinating. The third day was yet another memorable moment with a short trip on jeep.

Guides are very good and efficient. They not only inform you but make sure you come to know something which no other people or website can brief you. For example I didn't knew Corbett is one of the rare places on earth to have so many tigers, which are now in endangered category. The overwhelming experience of Corbett weekend tour is going to stay in my mind for a long time. And it will keep me charged up for really long time. Well, having said that, am back to my six-day working life. Guys if your not unlucky like me, do go for Corbett weekend tour, it's amazing!

Do Dham Yatra

India or Incredible India is very well known as a land of spirituality and high religious values. Hinduism is one of the most ancient regions in the world and is the only religion in the world to survive so many ages and attacks of other cultures. Be it Islamic invasion or advent of Britishers, Hinduism still remains major religion in this mystique land. Hinduism is known for its Gods and Goddesses. Entire India is loaded with numerous destinations that are revered as holy places. Chardham yatra is the most adored and loved pilgrim journey in the country. Chardham simply means abode to four holy shrines namely Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath. Not many have privileges to go on chardham yatra so many satisfy with do dham yatra. Do Dham yatra simply means yatra to two shrines. But let us tell you do dham yatra has same high religious values and people in huge numbers arrive two these shrines namely Badrinath and Kedarnath.

These both dhams are located in high mountains of Himalayas. There was a time when these two destinations were very hard to access. Thanks to modern technology and government efforts, it has become very easy to access them. Do dham yatra mainly begins in the months of April and ends in November normally. These two places are in Himalayan ranges so its very chilly in winters. The roads are blanketed by snow and risks of landslides increase.

Badrinath is devoted to Lord Vishnu. As per legend, Adi Sankaracharya established the main temple in 8th century. Many believe that this temple was built by Garhwal king. There are plenty of myths related to this place. However one thing common among them is the utmost spirituality in this place.

Another gem in Do Dham Yatra is Kedarnath. This place is rated among the 12 Jyotirling of Lord Shiva. Kedarnath temple is complimented by the lofty snow capped peaks of Himalayna Mountains. The view from this temple is simply amazing. The main attractions of this temple are Grih and Mandap. The conical rock set up in the premises of the temple is also must watch. The rock is worshiped as its Sadashiva form.

Apart from these tour destinations, you will come across many fabulous places namely Sonprayag, Gaurikund, Guptkashi, Gandhi Sarovar, Valley of Flowers, Joshimath and Vasuki Tal. Apart from offering your prayers tto the God, you can come here to cherish scenic beauty and panoramic views

Jim Corbett National Park: From An Eye Of Documentarian

I have been to various forests and sanctuaries and documented various panoramic sceneries. But let me tell you I have nothing seen as beautiful as Jim Corbett National Park. Definition for beauty varies individual to individual. And as far as my definition is concerned, I simply believe beauty is raw and its purest form. Jim Corbett is one of its kind wildlife reserves where you can see untouched beauty. The very moment I entered this park, I fell in love with it. And the best thing I did over here was Safari. It was in fact the best experience in my entire career. Exploring jungle in such a unique way was simply amazing. I never got so many panoramic views to click in single journey.
But before briefing you about my experience, let me give you some information on Jim Corbett. This park is situated in north Indian state of Uttaranchal. It is spread in an area of over 500 sq kms and is mainly known for its tigers. This is one of the main tiger reserves in the world. However, there are loads of others Indian wild animals too. Tourists come in huge number every year to this park to experience these wild beauties.
Having said that, I was one of the privileged ones to visit Corbett in the prime season that is November. My stay was in Dhikala, which is yet another beautiful place in Corbett. The forest lodge is said to be the main highlight of the region with lush greenery and fresh air around. After checking in the hotel, I was all set with camera and other equipment. And my very first encounter with Corbett was a Jeep Safari. Jeep safari helped me set my camera and let me shoot scenes around without any problem. I was lucky to shoot various creatures. The three hour safari is must for every filmmaker and photographer who is coming to Corbett. Not only it’s the abundance of the scenes but the zeal in the air to express your art. It’s so inspirational and motivating. And the creatures, they are not shy at all. Well, the first day was full on action and gratifying for me. Having clicked over 200 pictures and some video clips in that three hour journey, I was on cloud nine. The day one was simply fantastic. After journey I had my dinner but what to expect tomorrow was all on my mind.
On second day, it was an elephant safari. Initially, I struggled to set my camera but soon I realized this can be the best position to shoot. Elephant safari is simply wonderful experience. Elephants are so well trained that at times you believe they are the only ones to know about the jungle. The jungle safari In Corbett with elephants is like dream come true for any filmmaker.
Last day was a short Corbett jeep safari added on my film making stint. It was really good as I had got an opportunity to shoot the scenes which I missed last time. Overall it was fantastic. I will urge every filmmaker and documentary to visit Corbett to make a great wildlife film.

A Fantastic Tour To Dhikala in Jim Corbett National Park

It was my birthday gift from my best friend Vikram I mean Vikram Singh Bathyal. A three day tour to Dhikala. Those who do not know what is Dhikala, let me have the privilege to brief you about it. Dhikala is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Jim Corbett National Park. This mesmerizing destination is located at the fringes of Patli Dun Valley. In the backdrop you have Kanda ridge and from here you can enjoy the most spectacular view of this amazing valley. Having said that, let me tell you that before Corbett tour I had never been to any wildlife reserve in my life. And Vikram knew this will be the finest gift for my 23rd birthday, which is in the month of November, also the best time to visit Corbett. The tour was organised by a reputed travel and tour agency based in New Delhi. I was glad that my tour was being handled by some experienced people in this business. Being a first timer, I needed a lot of guidance so it was just perfect plan.
During my Dhikala tour, I was accompanied by Vikram and Vishwa, who also happens to be my younger brother. Excitement on our faces was pretty evident when we just packed our bags for the tour. We took all the necessary things required during the tour such as binoculars, green and light colored dresses, hat and so on. The travel operator provided us the cab from New Delhi, where I stay. The cab was very comfortable and in great shape. Full on air condition and lot of space to keep our bags.
While arriving in Dhikala we were told that this place is situated in proximity of Ramnagar, Dhangiri gate. Dhangari entrance as I far I remember was 19 kilometres ahead of Ramnagar. After arriving here, we checked in Dhikala forest lodge, which happens to be the USP of this place. The lodge enjoys great reputation among tourists across the world. And after coming here I believe the reputation is not fake. A great staff along with high end facilities are enough to receive 9 on 10 in ratings. I don't know what cynics believe.
It was early morning when we check in at the lodge. The morning in Dhikala is one of its kind experience. Aroma of fresh tree leaves with sweet music involving bird chirps and movement of wild creatures and above all feeling of being surrounded by lush greenery simply bewildered me. An enchanting morning in Dhikala. Journey had taken a bit toll on my bulgy body so we took little rest. We had a very delicious lunch in afternoon. And after some walk, we were set for jeep safari In Dhikala zone. Jeep safari is simply a great experience. Watching and exploring the nature on your own is far better experience than getting stuck at Ashram red light every day. The three hour safari will always be in my memories, as I saw loads of wild creatures including birds as well. And if you are a biology student you will certainly make out there are loads of plant species which you rarely see in cities and towns. After the safari, we were provided the best dinner we could imagine. Even salad never tasted so good. May be the ambiance had added on the pleasure of cuisine. It was first night at Dhikala lodge and I took little while to fall asleep I was too excited for the next morning.
My second day at Dhikala can be very well described as elephant safari day. Elephant safari was greater fun than jeep safari, watching jungle from that height was simply amazing. And you should see how elephants can be so well trained. At times I felt these elephants knew every nook and corner of the park. Elephant safari helped me see things with proximity which I could not see during Jeep tour. The entire 2-hour journey was full on action and adventure. The second evening in Dhikala as memorable as we danced and listened to some good music. And many other people joined us. After all we were the most happening people there.
On the concluding day, we had an opportunity to go on another jeep safari. The second ride was good as we were revisiting the natural beauty. After short safari, we had breakfast and checked out of the hotel. While returning, the memories of three-day adventure was playing back in mind. It was best birthday of my life. Next season, I am coming here all over again.
