Jim Corbett National Park is one of the best national parks in the country and is famous for its Royal Bengal Tigers, lying in the foot hills of Himalaya is this beautiful park located with serene beauty, accessing this park is really easy and there are also special coaches in some trains which are specially for this park,
I reached the park in the morning via train and we got out at the Ramnagar station which is the closest to the park
one can get jeeps and taxis near the station 24x7 and they are cheap too,
when we got to our hotel it was around 5:30 in the morning so we went and slept straight away, the same morning we woke up and I went for fishing in the river which was just flowing at the back of the hotel it was so beautiful
then we stared for the park and got the pass easily we went through a jeep and saw the sambar, wild elephants, gharials but had to wait for the beast to appear and suddenly heard a rumbling sound just a couple of feet away from our jeep, everyone one went silent we were at the edge of our seats and there it was the striped beast with its family everybody got their cameras out and started clicking the tiger for a souvenier, that was the best sight to behold, we were all elevated and were exited to see the royal animal and went back to the hotel at around seven at the night we called the help desk in our hotel and booked an elephant ride in the morning for a much more close encounter with the beast, early at 5 am we got up for the ride and saw many animals but were not lucky enough to get the view of the tiger
we came back slept a bit took our breakfast and went for local sightseeing, we visited a museum there and a temple and had our lunch.after that the most sad moment came and we had to leave the tiger's den as we had our train at 2 noon.it was one of the best trips ever for me
people tend to think that having such close encounters with wild cats is dangerous and not safe but there is always a guard at your side in the jeep ride and the elephant ride and that too with a gun which makes it the safest joy ride in India, finally I will say INCREDIBLE INDIA!
Thank You
