08 Days : Delhi - Rajaji National Park - Corbett National Park - Corbett - Delhi
The most famous tiger reserve of India stretches over a large area some of which is open to tourists, and the rest being the prohibited core area. The open grasslands of Corbett on both sides of the Ramganga river, are ideal habitat for elephants, deer and tigers. The clusters of forest around are also where the tigers hide and catch their prey. The suspense of roaming around the forest in a jeep the whole day, building up to the final climax of sighting a tiger, is like being in a movie.

The suspense of roaming around the forest in a jeep the whole day, building up to the final climax of sighting a tiger, is like being in a movie. Of course, many are also disappointed, but you have to take it in a good spirit.On the outskirts of Dehradoon is the Rajaji National Park. In fact you have to drive down a road that cuts through the park to reach Doon. The Rajaji experience is all about driving through dense deciduous forest and crossing large dry riverbeds that criss-cross the park. In the monsoons these flood the entire area, and the park is closed to visitors. Elephants reign supreme in this area, and the lucky ones can see a tiger or two. Among deer, you can see sambhar, chital and barking deer; also wild boar, leopards and sloth bear.There is a pleasant GMVN guesthouse on the east bank of the Ganga at Chilla. This is a nice place for a weekend break and you can visit Haridwar, which is next door. The elephant safaris also start from here. Apart from that there are nine old and atmospheric forest guesthouses inside the park. These can be booked from the Rajaji National Park office at 5/1 Tilak Road, Dehradun (Tel- 0135-621669.)
