The Corbett Adventure


This was a wonderful trip. Just me , my better half and the vast expanse of the corbett jungle. We are there one day ..amidst the likelihood of spotting the KING OF THIS JUNGLE-THE TIGER.The thrill of reaching Corbett was probably as high as awaiting a murder to happen in a Sherlock Holmes novel. He could cross your way, jump over your jeep, be spotted on the river bank or even roar!!



It was fantastic..we saw a herd of deer cross us umpteen number of times..When up on the Machaan-see pic , Corbett looked like a fairy tale venue.It was Green, Big , Lively , Still at the same time, Lush and Just Beautiful.I was atop the jeep and so was Jaanu. Looking out for the Beautiful Beast we wanted to see..It was elusive ..yet we knew he could be anywhere.



At the start of the trip , I felt looey ..asked for a washroom but in vain. Had seen a lot of horror stories so when I found a regal bathroom in the open, I felt scared.If I was pounced upon by the KING what would I do.Obviously nothing like that happened , and we ventured into the untreaded space once again.


We saw a monitor lizard, a tailor bird's nesting tree,deer,wild cats but the KING remained elusive..



We will visit again to catch his glimpse ..we know he will find us ..and when he does I am sure we will have to use the loo again ..!!
