Corbett Tiger Reserve



Well, to get into the reserve, first you have to contact with a jeep. Jeeps cost around 800 Rs, but you can bargain till 700. Afterwards, you go to the Corbett Center and fill a form. If you're going for a 2 hour day "safari" then you'll have to pay 205 Rs plus 175 for the guide, which seems to be compulsory.

I don't know about the elephant trip or the 3 day stay, but the day trip is not bad. However, if your comming from Delhi, don't loose you're time staying in Ramnagar, go directly to the Corbett center, get your jeep and your safari, and by noon you're out of there.

What can you see, well, I can tell what I saw. No, no, I can't because I couldn't understand what my guide said. The only thing I know I saw, were spotted Deer, two different kind of Monkeys (Langurs and red monkey), more spotted Deer, Tiger tracks, and many kinds of birds and insects. The landscape is pretty interesting, and no, it's not dissapointing. Specially if you want to get out of noisy Ramnagar.
