Corbett Elephant Safari Tours 09 Nights / 10 Days
A warm welcome to the Corbett National Park for the Elephant Safari which is the best way to explore deep forest. Unlike modern vehicles, no fuel or noise pollution is caused by Elephant on a slow walk through the jungle. Elephant on its back can take you into the deep valleys, dense forests, rainwater drains, and rugged tracks which is unseen by most of the visitors of the park. It is a royal way to travel. Mostly elephants are able to go in the areas which are inaccessible by other man-made modes of transport. At Corbett, Lohar Chaur, Rathuadhab, Mundiapani, Halduparao, Kanda and Dhikala are the areas which you should explore on an Elephant Safari. This is the best way to experience the wild life, mystery of the forest in solitude as in other safaris you are generally with friends, family, guides and drivers. On an Elephant Safari, it’s you, your Mahout and the elephant. Another attraction of Corbett Park is fishing for Mahashir fish in Ramganga waters. This fish could range from half kg to 15 kgs in weight. If you wish you can take photograph with this fish and proudly display your fishing exploits to your friends and family.
Perched high on the Elephant you can look at the wild life from very close quarters without disturbing the wild life. These elephants possess extraordinary wisdom and share a bond of great trust and understanding with the Mahouts making the twosome a perfect example of how man and animal can live in harmony with each other in natural habitats.
