National parks have always been getaways for wildlife enthusiasts, as they can experience wildlife closely. Jim Corbett National Park is one famous name on the list. Named after legendary hunter-turned-conservationist Jim Corbett, the place is worth visiting for its gorgeous landscapes with forests, rivers, and hills.
Today, this wildlife sanctuary is not merely a national park for exploring wildlife but a destination for adventure and fun. Around 600 bird species, animals, and reptiles, such as tigers, gharials, leopards, elephants, and otters, can be spotted here. However, beyond the safari zones of Jim Corbett National Park, there are offbeat things to enjoy here.
Offbeat things to do in Jim Corbett National Park
Hiking from Tanhau
Among the offbeat things to experience at Jim Corbett National Park is hiking that starts from Tanhau. When passing through the forests, you will be walking on the tracks once used by the infamous man-eater tiger. The best time to start the hiking trail is early morning. The trail will give you a wonderful experience of bird viewing and spotting the rare sights of big cats. Even though there are jeep safaris for it, it will still be a new experience on foot.
Angling at Bhikiyasen
If you don’t get permission for angling in the area around the national park, then you need to visit Bhikiyasen to enjoy the sport. It is at a distance from the park. The flowing Ramganga river here lets you fulfil your desire of angling the two prized sport fishes, Golden Mahseer and Goonch.
Hearing stories of man-animal conflict at Sunderkhal
When coming to Sunderkhal village, you learn stories of man-animal conflict. Among these is the famous Sunderkhal man-eater tiger, which killed seven people between September 2010 and February 2011. Getting knowledge of incidents in Sunderkhal differs from reading them in a newspaper. Moreover, it will help in knowing the real cause of man-animal conflict.
Heritage walk at Kaladhungi
Kaladhungi is a place in Ramnagar where you can visit the iconic Jim Corbett Museum. Its picturesque landscape is ideal for sightseeing, hiking, and finding peace. Here, you will see black stones with iron content. Kaladhungi is also a fertile land where fruits and vegetables are grown.
Enjoying the natural views at Kath Ki Naav
Kath Ki Nav is a small village 35 km from Ramnagar. From there, you can enjoy amazing views of the Corbett area, including the Kosi river flowing through the valley, forested hills, the beautiful Ramganga valley, and the snow-capped Nanda Devi range.
