Its proximity to Delhi and its prolific wildlife make Corbett National Park an ideal site for weekend break for the Delhiites. Situated in the valley of the Ramganga River near the foothills of the Himalayas, the park is a little over 250 km from Delhi and is easily accessible either by road or partly by train.
Corbett National Park was set up in 1936 as India’s first national park. Since, then it has grown considerably in size and now includes the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary as a part of its 1319 sq km reserved forest area. Project Tiger was inaugurated here on April 1. 1973. About 100 sq km area of the park is designated as Tiger Reserve Area. Dhikala is the main entry point into this area. Dhikala is, in fact, the centre of all tourist activity, for it is here that substantial residential accommodation has been built in a large grassy plateau close to the Ramganga Reservoir.
There is a great variety of wildlife on view in Corbett National Park. Apart from tigers, the park is inhabited by leopards, bears, jackals, and such rare animals as the Himalayans palm civet, Indian grey mongoose, common otter and porcupine. Beside several species of deer and antelopes, the Indian pythons, viper, krait and king cobra can also be seen in the park.
The park offers a great deal for the birdwatchers as it has over 580 species of birds. Most of the waterbirds are the migrant variety and arrive in winters. But egrets, herons, the black-necked storks and the spur-winged lapwings can be seen here all the time.
Tourists visiting Corbett National Park should carry a pair of sharp-eyed binoculars and the mind open to all kinds of wildlife experiences from butterflies to birds to gharials, wild elephants and tigers. The elephant safari is the most promising way of tracking the tigers. Sitting on a elephant’s back at an elevation of 10ft, one gets a panoramic view of the park. Besides, the elephant is not scared of a tiger, and will casually take one close to it.
