Corbett National Park in India

Overview
Few countries can match India for diversity of tradition and ancient spiritualism, and this trip captures just that. From Delhi we head to Haridwar on the banks of the Ganges to witness spiritual worship which seems as old as the river that sustains it. Just to the north is Garwhal, the sacred land that holds the source of the Ganges and a place of pilgrimage for thousands of years. Corbett National Park is next, one of India's premier wildlife reserves set amid true wilderness. Famous for its big cats, including the elusive tiger, elephants and several species of monkey and deer, it is also a bird watchers' paradise with nearly 600 species of indigenous and migratory birds. Buffering the park are more reserves which we explore before heading for the charm of the hill stations.

With peaks of the Inner Himalaya visible we slip back in time to promenade along the Mall road around the lake at Nainital. During the British Raj the town became a popular retreat from the summer heat and relics from its colonial past still remain. Heading back to the plains we arrive at the Taj Mahal, the most magnificent monument to the Mughal empire. Built as a mausoleum in the 17th century, it is quite simply one of the world's most beautiful buildings. From here we will move to Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After viewing a variety of avian species including some animal species we drive back to Delhi where our tour commemorates. So, visit India on Ganges, Corbett and Taj tour, we assure you that you will enjoy each and every moment of your trip.

Feedback
Ganges Corbett Taj tour was a well organised trip and we enjoyed it very much. We took bath in the holy Ganges and visited a number of ashrams and temples of Rishikesh. Spotting wildanimals at Corbett National Park was a thrilling experience.


An amazing trip which gave the opportunity to see the tigers and many other wildanimals in their natural habitat. Elephant safari and Jeep Safari enhanced our enjoyment. Our tour guide Krishna was a nice person and he made our trip a pleasant affair.


Visiting the holy towns, seeing the wildanimals and trip to Taj Mahal in a single tour was really interesting. Each day brought something new for us. My expectations were more than satisfied. A wonderful trip that I will remember forever.
