Corbett Elephant Safari

Delhi-Corbett National Park
Aptly called-The Land of Roar and Trumpet - this forest of blue rivers

sights & sounds present themselves at almost every turn. The Corbett Tiger Reserve is an excellent belt of the rich sal and mixed woodlands
that span outer Himalayas and are known as foothills or terai. The protected area is home to mind boggling bio diversity and is situated in Nainital District.
