Overview

Dudhwa

One of the finest examples of conservation in India, Dudhwa is truly a wildlifer’s paradise. Apart from being a success story of reintroducing tigers and the one horned rhinoceros into the wild, it is also one of the strongholds of a healthy population of the vulnerable barasinga. Boasting of 300+ bird species, it is one of the best places for birdwatching in India. Other than tigers, the park is also home to mammals like the sloth bear, leopards, fishing cat, leopard cat and numerous deer species. The mosaic of high forest vegetation interspersed with grasslands is truly a treat! On this iconic journey into this veritable treasure trove of wildlife, deep in the Terai, we stay at beautiful forest department rest houses in the core! This experience, as you wake up to the trumpets of elephants and the songs of a myriad of birds and go to bed listening to alarm calls of a hundred deer, shaken and nervous, is something you won't forget soon. The Terai's hold over you would be complete, would be eternal! Dudhwa is a true testimony to India's incredible natural beauty and the unimaginable amount of treasure it contains! Come, Dudhwa beckons!

Corbett

Set magnificently amidst the mighty Shiwaliks to its north and the great plains to the south, Corbett is probably the ultimate spectacle of Indian wildlife. This iconic land is beauty personified, with its humongous Sal canopies, white riverbeds, enchanting grasslands and the golden river, the pretty Ramganga. Tigers roam wild and free while elephants in hundreds patrol this colossus. Imagine waking up to the melodies of a hundred beautiful songbirds while elephants and deer make merry in the Ramganga as your gypsy rambles on, on the fabled Sambhar road, which is cocooned ever so prettily in between dense jungles on one side and the vast plains of the Ramganga on the other.

This four day safari takes you right in the heart of Corbett National Park where we camp at the famous Dhikala Forest Rest House. This place is almost mythical, nestled in the deep core of the reserve, away from all civilization and where tigers are regularly spotted from the magnificent breakfast deck. Our chai-time stories about this place and the myriad of wonders it holds is what sets Beyond Wild apart. Our safari drivers here are the most passionate lot and they search for the many animals and birds with a glint in their eyes and a thunder to their gypsies. The rush they get after successfully tracking the Terai tiger or spotting the Spot-Bellied Eagle Owl high up on a tree is infectious. They make you fall in love with their jungle, their home, their ultimate paradise. Let the magic of this heaven in the Terai astound you. Let Corbett and its many charms and mysteries fill your senses with love and joy for an eternity.
