Jim Corbett National Park
"The ultimate "Old World" safari experience. Staying inside the park is a mandatory ritual for any serious naturalist."
Terrain, Flora & Logistics
The birthplace of Project Tiger. A tapestry of riverine belts, grasslands (Chaurs), and hilly ridges. It is the only park in India that allows an overnight stay inside the core forest at Dhikala.
Flora & Fauna
Photography Strategy
The "Chaur Composition": Use the vast Dhikala grasslands to shoot "Animal in Landscape." The Ramganga riverbed at dawn provides the perfect soft-box lighting for elephant herds.
