This would be our first tiger safari in jim corbett national park. We would be making our way through the thick evergreen and beautiful Sal forest. We would be stopping to look and observe the various mammals and birds that would encounter on our way.
We would reach our guesthouse in Dhikala/Gairal/ Bijrani and complete the check-in process. Have lunch and get ready for the afternoon safari. At about 2:30 PM, the excitement for the evening safari starts. This time, a brilliant time for Photography. At most of the grassland places, you would find inclined lighting, making the photographs stunning.
Corbett is one place where you get greens in the backdrop irrespective of the season. Learn to identify the different wildlife species that you encounter and their significance. Listen to the call of roosting birds, the call of eagles as they soar the evening skies, learn to identify birds by observing their wing patterns. All the while, try to listen and see for any sign for the king of the jungle, the tiger.
All the Jungle folks will ensure that not a single moment in the safari would be dull. At about 6.30 PM our jeeps will start racing back towards the guest house area. Post-safari, the adrenalin will be pumping and all of us will be excitedly discussing what we saw and what we missed. One need not feel sad about what one misses because; Corbett has so much to offer that it is impossible for everyone to take everything!
Dinner would be ready by 8 pm and we can turn in early in anticipation of the next morning’s safari! Of course in the night we can hear calls of the barking deer of cheetal or langoor warning the fellow forest dwellers the presence of the Tiger!
Nights time in the jungle is really a time when everything else in life seems insignificant and you can give forget all your worries. Listen and enjoy to the sounds of the jungle at night and try to identify the bird which just gave a call or the animal that made the sound while making a hasty retreat. Indulge in a bit of storytelling, sharing your own jungle stories or listen to the jungle adventure stories that would be shared by others. Share your photographs that you have clicked in the day and learn whether any improvements are needed.
