CORBETT HIDDEN SECRET
Explore the Lesser Travelled Trails like Jim Corbett
APRIL 21 -25, 2024
HIDDEN CORBETT
Are you forever mesmerised with the wilderness of Corbett by traversing in this mystic landscape in the cozy comforts of your safari vehicle? Nature Wanderers and Team Jamoon is all geared up so that you can step out of that vehicle and explore the real essence of these magical woods on foot following the footsteps of Jim Corbett who would have once roamed in the pristine Ramganga valley penning down his soulful angling diaries in the form of ‘The Fish of my Dreams’ (excerpts from Man Eaters of Kumaon).
A hike in pristine Saal forests, a walk alongside the sparkling Ramganga that snakes through a myriad of riverbeds understanding the scripts of the wilderness that walk the pebbled and sandy ramps - this Corbett experience is designed to connect your soul with the hidden secrets of wild Kumaon.
WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS
Key Program Highlights
Camera Trapping
Learn to read the forest floor and set up your own trail camera traps. A workshop on the basics of DSLR camera trapping by Canon EOS Ambassador and Author - Shivang Mehta
Walking Safaris
Being on foot in a forest gives you the freedom of exploration.
