My Trip To Uttaranchal - Day 1

Day1: Jim Corbett Park

Ranikhet Exp (with pathetic sleeper class coaches) reached Ramnagar at around 6 in the morning. The expensive resort booked had exotic setting but was overpriced. As tariffs included meals, we were inspired to gobble up everything possible. By the end of the day, we ourselves were amazed on our capacity to consume.
The 8 km drive to the Corbett Park was the coolest event of the day. The open Gypsy with the cool breeze was beating the merc scene of Goa trip in “Dil Chahta Hai”. I went a little far by imagining myself as a warlord who was visiting his territory.
This park is known for tigers. But to spot one out of 140 counted dudes is real hard. The striking feature was the expanse and the undisturbed natural habitat. Spread across 1822 sq. km, it is a world away from bustling sounds of human settlement – it was quiet filled with sweet humming of n species of birds. Besides appreciating this serenity, we were trying to improve our “checking out” skills (please refer to the “photographs of the day” section).
At night, we had two lively conversations at bonfire. One was with the resort manager who explained how the creation of the new state had helped the local economy and industry to grow. Second was with 2 drunken sardarjis having contrasting views on the political condition of the country. But they really scared us by citing the temperatures this year (Amritsar had hit -0.5 C yesterday).
