Activities To Do

Explore the forests on elephant back

The forest’s secrets are slowly revealed when you explore it from atop an elephant. As your ride wanders through his natural environment, the surrounding creatures aren’t disturbed, allowing you to get closer to nature than ever before.

As you pass through lush fields and lively villages, you will see the effort Corbett put in to creating the ideal Kumaoni village. The tour also takes you to places made famous by his novels.

Take to the trails

Go on a trek through designated areas with a licenced guide to absorb the atmosphere of the wild. As you walk through the forest at the edges of the park, you uncover surprises you might not notice on safari. Walking along banks of the River Kosi here is always rewarding, with otters sometimes making an appearance.
