Beautiful photo feature. I am going there next month and hope to come back with lots of sightings and pictures.
I hope to go to Corbett this year ..lovely pics
Lovely pictures, it is close by but last time when we tried the booking process for the government guesthouse defeated us and we went to Lansdowne instead!
Thanks Vamsee, Lakshmi. Glad that I’ve stoked your desire to visit Corbett
.
@Mridula, try the Club Mahindra Corbett resort, I could work out something for you.
We were recently at the Corbett Hideaway courtesy our Club Mahindra membership. We had a wonderful stay, wonderful pictures but unfortunately no sightings! Maybe Corbett calls again ; we’ll wait till Club Mahindra’s own resort is ready!
