Corbett and Dudhwa National Park, form a part of the Terai Arc Landscape (TAL), an 810 kms stretch, covering three Indian States, namely Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Bihar. The protected areas within TAL are connected with one another through wildlife corridors which in itself are part of the reserved forest.
The key wildlife population include Tigers, One-Horned Rhino and the Asian Elephants. In addition, it is home to many endangered species like the Ghariyal, Bengal Florican, Gangetic Dolphins, Fishing Cat, close to 600 species of birds and plenty more.
This specific tour is for nature enthusiasts in true sense, people who have patience and perseverance to wait for wildlife to come to you. The uniqueness of these forests is the stay one can enjoy in the Forest Rest House, located deep inside the jungle. These Rest Houses were used by the Forest Officers during the British Raj. While the accommodation is very basic with limited food choice and power supply, it is kept so deliberately. The jungle should be experienced for what it is, where luxury means sighting a tiger multiple times.
Upon your arrival at the New Delhi International Airport, you will be received by our representative. He will assist you with transfers in a chauffeur-driven vehicle, and further with a smooth check-in at the Hotel. All travel related documents will be handed over to you and explained in detail.

The Park is named after Edward James Corbett, fondly known as Jim Corbett, a big game hunter turned ardent conservationist during the British Raj in India. Corbett was largely and single-handedly responsible for having the park demarcated as a protected area and a game reserve to protect its wildlife.
The park is vast and the terrain is simply stunning. With the Lower Himalayas as a backdrop and rivers running through, its dense forest is full of an incredible range of flora and fauna. It was also the first park in India to launch the Project Tiger wildlife conservation initiative. Other than the Royal Bengal Tiger, some of the notable mammals in Corbett include Langurs, Leopards, and the Asiatic Elephant. Several herbivores, smaller felines, and reptiles inhabit the park. It’s also a bird lover’s paradise and has a large population of both resident and migratory birds.

Dudhwa is one of North India’s lesser-known gems. Situated in the heart of the subcontinent’s Terai grassland, Dudhwa lies on the border of India and Nepal and covers a vast swathe of wilderness. The alluvial soils of its rivers and the natural fertility of the Indo-Gangetic plains give it an unrivaled feeling of lush, raw beauty. This is an ancient stretch of forest, with Sal Trees that top 100 feet in height and are over 150 years old!

Swamp Deer, Spotted Deer, Hog Deer, and Sambar are a few of the Deer varieties that you get to see.
