LANDSCAPES OF CORBETT - A PHOTO ESSAY

Corbett is more known for its tigers and elephants than anything else. But Corbett, with a Himalayan river flowing in the park and foothills rising all around the it, has one of the most beautiful landscapes that India’s National Parks can offer. And especially in winter, the golden glow of the morning and evening makes it worth being there. I woke up early in the morning everyday when I was there, and spent a good time photographing this landscape. Here are some of those images.

Sometimes, the landscape seems African more than Himalayan.

Arun,
I just came across your blog. Pretty thrilling. Its a shame that I did not know such places did not exist in India, at least.
I am from South India and I’ve always had the doubt if Indians travelled so much.

You are doing a gret job.
I’ll try to visit your blog more often.

Bon Voyage,
travelbuff
