点评:Corbet for me was my second visit, for my better half it was first, her only previous sojourn in forest was at Kaziranga. For me the challenge, thus was to ensure that she gets a good feel about Forests. Corbett was her selection. And for us, Mr Saurabh of TravelGleams came like a Blessings. That's the beauty of web and information age. I got his reference there. And without his guidance at every stage, a tour of Corbet would not have been successful. He arranged for all the formalities at every stage, right from arrangement of safaris, arranging the accommodation, permits, Jeeps, it is pertinent to mention that the driver Mr Abdul he arranged of the Jeep was himself an excellent guide-cum-wildlife watcher and knowledgeable and immensely patient inside the forest so necessary to see wildlife. Saurabh understood our requirement and arranged to schedule at an easy and relaxing pace. His selection of the zones speak volumes about his deep insights about the forest. His advice about coming to Corbett avoiding the mad rush of year-end and new-year break worked really wonders as we could enjoy the forest without the cacophony of NY crowds. We drove around 300 kms and reached in late night. Stayed at Anugraha Homestays, located in Dhela Road. This is a thoughtful selection on Saurabh's part as for our Dhela Safari, Mr Abdul could pick-us up directly from the Homestay. The homestay itself was cozy, Mr Negi and his team comprising of his family makes it a Home-Away-From-Home literally. Our first day was Canter Safari. The Canter starts from Ramnagar in front of KMVN Tourist Lodge and one need to reach the starting point on ones own. Saurabh arranged it thru the Jeep of Mr Abdul. Canter reaches Dhangadi Gate, permits and IDs are checked there and next nearly 3 hrs inside is tour at a stretch with a short washroom break at Dhikala. Next day it was afternoon Jeep safari in Dhela Zone. Now Dhela is a small compact zone teeming with high density of wildlife and our first Tiger Sighting was here. And it was a majestic sight, the King of the Forest really moved across the road regally, menacingly, with an aura that befits only someone who is a class of own, the photos and videos speak more. Next came a Herd of Elephants with Cubs. The family moved quite close by and trudged across the corridor deep inside the range, seemingly oblivious of our presence. Such a luck it was, almost all sightings were coming very close to our camera. I also like to mention the name of Ms. Gulshan - a wonderful and knowledgeable forest guide - here it is important to mention that one forest guide will accompany in the Jeep Safari from the Gate of the Zone. The teamwork of Gulshan and Abdul was wonderful, both were knowledgeable and almost supplementing each other, which was essential for successful wildlife watching inside a huge forest like Corbett. This really contributed a lot in making our Dhela Safari an enjoyable one. Also we sighted flocks of Green Pigeons, Vultures, Herds of beautiful deers, Sambhar, barking deers, many other birds. Our third day was at Bijrani Zone in early morning Jeep Safari. It starts from Amdanda Gate. After checking of IDs and permits, safari starts from around 630 am and continues for 4 hrs. Now Bijrani is a huge zone, one shall be lucky in case of any sightings here, We waited for more than 1 hr on a riverbed for an elusive sight, in spite of calls, the tigress and her cub continued to hide inside the bush across the bed. But Bijrani was Beautiful, the way Nature unfolded in front of our eyes with daybreak was amazing. In fact, entire Corbett inside was dazzlingly beautiful in the crisp winter of January with flawless azure sky on top and green foliage underneath with mystic sunrays penetrating across the tree-covers. Rest of the stories as per the uploaded photos, in case if they get uploaded. In the end once again I would like to compliment Mr. Saurabh of TravelGleams for nicely arranging the entire tour for us.
翻译:对我来说,科贝特是我第二次来这里,而对我的另一半来说,那是第一次,她之前唯一一次在森林里逗留是在卡齐兰加。对我来说,挑战在于确保她对森林有一个很好的了解。科贝特是她的选择。而对于我们来说,TravelGleams 的 Saurabh 先生的到来就像是上天的恩赐。这就是网络和信息时代的美妙之处。我在那里得到了他的推荐。如果没有他在每个阶段的指导,科贝特之旅就不会成功。他安排了每个阶段的所有手续,从安排狩猎旅行,到安排住宿、许可证、吉普车,值得一提的是,他安排的吉普车司机 Abdul 先生本人就是一位优秀的导游兼野生动物观察员,在森林里知识渊博,非常有耐心,这是观察野生动物所必需的。Saurabh 理解我们的要求,以轻松悠闲的节奏安排行程。他对区域的选择充分说明了他对森林的深刻见解。他建议我们避开年底和新年假期的拥挤来 Corbett,这个建议确实很有效,因为我们可以享受森林而不受纽约人群的喧闹。我们驱车约 300 公里,深夜抵达。住在 Dhela 路的 Anugraha 寄宿家庭。这是 Saurabh 的周到选择,对于我们的 Dhela 野生动物园之旅,Abdul 先生可以直接从寄宿家庭接我们。寄宿家庭本身很舒适,Negi 先生和他的家人组成的团队让这里成为了名副其实的家外之家。我们第一天的野生动物园之旅是 Canter 野生动物园之旅。Canter 从 KMVN 旅游旅馆前面的 Ramnagar 出发,游客需要自行到达起点。Saurabh 通过 Abdul 先生的吉普车安排了旅程。Canter 抵达 Dhangadi Gate,在那里检查许可证和身份证,接下来是近 3 个小时的连续游览,中途在 Dhikala 短暂上洗手间。第二天下午,我们在德拉区进行了吉普车游猎。德拉区是一个小型的紧凑区,野生动物密度很高,我们在这里第一次看到了老虎。那景象非常壮观,森林之王真的威风凛凛地穿过马路,散发着只有独属于自己的气息,照片和视频更能说明问题。接下来是一群带着幼崽的大象。大象一家子走得很近,跋涉穿过山脉深处的走廊,似乎没有注意到我们的存在。真是幸运,几乎所有的目击事件都离我们的相机很近。我还想提一下古尔山女士的名字——她是一位出色且知识渊博的森林导游——在这里,值得一提的是,一位森林导游将从区域大门出发,陪同我们乘坐吉普车游猎。 Gulshan 和 Abdul 的团队合作非常棒,他们知识渊博,几乎可以互相补充,这对于在像 Corbett 这样巨大的森林中成功观察野生动物至关重要。这确实为我们的 Dhela Safari 之旅增添了乐趣。我们还看到了成群的绿鸽、秃鹫、美丽的鹿群、水鹿、赤麂和许多其他鸟类。第三天我们清晨在 Bijrani 区乘坐吉普车游览。从 Amdanda 门出发。检查身份证和许可证后,游览从早上 6:30 开始,持续 4 小时。Bijrani 区很大,如果在这里看到任何野生动物,那就算幸运了,我们在河床上等了一个多小时,才看到一幕难以捉摸的景象,尽管我们叫了一声,但母老虎和她的幼崽仍然躲在河床对面的灌木丛里。但 Bijrani 很美,黎明时分大自然在我们眼前展现的方式令人惊叹。事实上,在一月寒冷的冬天,整个 Corbett 内部都美得令人眼花缭乱,上面是完美的蔚蓝天空,下面是绿色的树叶,神秘的阳光穿过树冠。其余的故事按照上传的照片讲述,以防它们上传。最后,我想再次称赞 TravelGleams 的 Saurabh 先生为我们精心安排了整个旅程。
