HIKING SAFARIS in jim corbett
Corbett tiger reserve has large tracts of adjoining river & forest area that extend to the higher reaches of the outer himalayas. Altitude varies from 400 mts to 2100mts. Grasslands and tropical forest dominated by the sal (shorea robusta) trees go up to the higher mountains of oak and rhododendron with a breath taking view of the icy himalayan peaks. Hikes and trekking in these forests with a help of an expert tracker is perhaps the best way to 'feel the forest'. One indeed gets an insight and minute observations are possible.
BIRD WATCHING in jim corbett
Corbett is famous for the richness and diversity of its wildlife which included over 50 species of mammals and over 580 species of birds. The national park is an important refuge for the tiger, Indian elephant, wild dog, leopard cat, Indian pangolin and hog deer. All of which were once common throughout the terai of Uttar Pradesh but are now rarely seen outside the park. The terai (moist land) is a belt of marshy jungle and grassland stretching between the foothills of the Himalayas and the Indian plains, a large part of the terai is in Nepal. Corbett's avifauna is particularly interesting because of the overlap between the plains and high altitudes. The Ramganga river is a source of attraction to many winter migrant birds.
A number of high altitude birds also visit the national park during winter. With altitudes at Corbett ranging from 400 meters to 1,200 meters above sea level, there is a rich variety of habitats. Nearly 73% of the park is covered by dense moist deciduous forest with a predominance of sal trees, accompanied by haldu, pipal, rohini and mango trees. While 10% of the core area is composed of grasslands in the valleys, which offer visitors a better view of Corbett's wildlife.

FISHING & ANGLING in Jim corbett
The ramganga river and kosi rivers are the main lifeline of the corbett tiger reserve and supports a wide array of aquatic life forms within. Common otters (lutralutra monticola), mugger (crocodylus palustris), the fish eating gharial (gavialis gangeticus) and fishing eagles are just a few, who benefit from this perennial source. Famed for the 'mighty mahseer' the fighting fish, it is one of the finest rivers of north india for anglers. The largest mahseer (barbustor) catch in the last few years weighed 65lbs. Other species on this river include the goonch, malee (wallago attu), rohu and trout in certain sections.
