Elephant Safaris
Undisturbed by the mechanical roar of a car or jeep, open to
the skies and the elements and accompanied only by the
rhythmic scuff – scuff – scuff of elephant’s
feet and the creaks of the wooden howdah. The far off booming
of wild elephants calling to each other can make you hanging
tight to the wooden safety beam of the howdah. The ride can be
a mix of long periods of utter peace interspersed with moments
of pure terror.
An exclusive safari in the periphery areas of Corbett Tiger
reserve - the Elephant Safari takes you through mysterious
thick forests, deep valleys and the rugged trails that offer a
lingering thrill to the adventure seeker. This is enhanced by
the cultural enigma of the land.
We take you to this thrilling elephant safari in the style
of yesteryears, from the first ray of the rising sun to
evening’s deepest glow; the landscape unravels the
untaught harmony of the primitive wild. The grandeur of the’
British Raj’ is relived in old forest rest houses (FRH)
built in 1890’s, which compliment the aura with lanterns
and fireplaces instead of electricity supplemented with hot
buckets baths to add to your comforts .To satiate the jungle
appetite you are accompanied by our cook specializing in
Indian and continental cuisine. For transport and back up
service we provide 4 WD jeeps that are best suited for the
rugged terrain of Corbett.
The abundant bird life, the mysterious wild and the
picturesque valley come together to offer a romance hitherto
unseen, unheard or untold. To enhance this unique experience,
a language-speaking naturalist accompanies you.
