Elephant safari is an exclusive safari on elephant back through the famous corbett national park, India. India's first and one of its finest tiger reserve. Elephant safari helps the visitor to travel through such difficult terrains where even jeeps cannot venture. And why not, riding an elephant takes you back to the royal era, when only the kings use to ride on these majestic beasts, since nothing can even compare with the majesty of the Pachyderm.

Tips for River Rafting

• Physical and mental fitness is required to try a hand at this adventure sport. All of those who are suffering from cardiac or mental ailments, the expectant mothers and children below the age of 14 should not indulge in rafting.
• Carry dry bags or boxes to secure your small personal items and an extra layer of clothing.
• Make sure to take any necessary prescription medications such as inhalers, bee-sting kits, insulin etc.
• Avoid taking your car keys, wallets, cell phones etc. with you for the rafting trip.
• Keep sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap to secure them and a disposable waterproof camera with you.
• Proper rafting gear on most rivers during the summers is a simple swimsuit, nylon shorts, tennis shoes or sandals and a hat.
• Spring and autumn rafting trips require additional clothing. Ensure to dress in layers in any case so that you can easily add or remove articles, as you need.
• Cotton clothing should be avoided while rafting, except in summers as cotton takes away the warmth from your body.
• Wool, polyester fleece and other synthetic materials keep us warmer and dry faster. Wet suits are also available on rent.

TIGER TRAILS
India never fails to surprise and fascinate the visitor. Corbett tiger reserve is perhaps one of the very few national parks in India, where one can stay in the heart of the reserve. Forest bungalows situated by the river Ramganga or overlooking vast expanses of the fabled Dhikala grasslands serve as an ideal base for the keen wildlife lovers and photographers. The vast savannahs support unusually high herbivore density such as the Spotted deer (Axis axis), Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), the Rare Hog Deer (Axis porcinus) and large herds of Elephants (Elephas maximus) congregate in the summer months. The High herbivore density attracts carnivores such as the tiger (Panthera Tigris), Leopard (Panthera pardus), and Varity of lesser cats including the Jungle cat (Felis chaus). The beautiful Ramganga valley is also a birders paradise and supports more than 600 species including over 50 birds of prey. Trips to one of these Forest rest Houses can be combined with your stay at Corbett Camp. A classic tour plan of one such combination is mentioned; however these trips can be customized as per ones needs…..

Trekking in India
The country boasts to have some of the highest peaks in the world. It's no coincidence that India is a spectacular adventure destination among the trekkers. Trekkers from throughout the world prefer the trekking locales in the verdant slopes of Himalayas. This country has captured the imagination of mountaineers and explorers for a long time. Trekkers also get a chance to come in close contact with the culture of the people residing in the remote areas. If you want to enjoy the serenity and purity prevalent in the Himalayas, you should enjoy the trekking at your own pace. Trekking the verdant hills of the Himalayas will undoubtedly fill your heart with limitless joy and provide you the unmatched peace of mind. India is, therefore, a prime travel destination not only for its spiritualism but also for the adventure spots. Adventure sports in India came into existence when the British started developing various hill stations all over India. These hill resorts served as the base from where treks were undertaken. With the introduction of base camp, it became much easier for the adventurers to explore the nearby located areas on their own. The area has now emerged as a trekking paradise. Here is a list of some famous trekking destinations.

Tips for Trekking

• Include ample time for altitude acclimatization in your tour plan.
• Keep medical kit with you during trekking expedition.
