ITINERARIES

Kumaon and Garhwal have an amazing diversity of scenery, from Himalayan snow peaks to dense sub-tropical jungles. We can offer you a choice of itineraries in the relatively unknown mountains and forests of this fascinating part of the Indian Himalaya.

Our itineraries cover the following activities:

  • Wildlife and birdwatching
  • Jungle walks and exploration
  • Trekking in the foothills or to the high Himalaya
  • Fishing for Mahseer
  • Pony trekking
  • Local culture and history
  • Jim Corbett's tiger trails

    We also offer tour extensions to Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, Kanha and Bandavghar Tiger Reserves, and Agra.

    Most of our itineraries include a stay at one or both of our associate lodges, Camp Corbett and Mountain Quail Camp. Both lodges are situated in forest rich in wildlife, and are owned and run by the Anand family, who are expert naturalists and very hospitable hosts. A stay at either lodge can be arranged for as short or long a time as you wish. You are assured of a warm welcome!

 

Typical prices at either lodge are around £35/€97/$65 per person per day for a twin-sharing room, or £43/€64/$80 for single occupancy. The price includes 3 good quality meals per day, tea and coffee, and jungle walks. Vehicular excursions can be arranged at an extra cost. The spectacular mountain drive to Naini Tal or Pangot is recommended.

Camp Corbett is open all year, but the best time to visit is mid-October to mid-April. Please note that Corbett Tiger Reserve is only open between mid-November and mid-June. Mountain Quail Camp at Pangot is best visited during October - November and March to June.

We can arrange for a vehicle to meet you at Delhi Airport or your hotel in Delhi for the journey to Camp Corbett or Mountain Quail at the start of your programme (about 6 to 7 hours). Another vehicle will return you to the airport or your hotel at the end of your trip. Alternatively, you can travel from Delhi to Kathgodam by day or overnight train, and we will send a vehicle to meet you and transport you to either Camp.

We can also arrange accommodation in Delhi in a comfortable private home (Full board or bed and breakfast), at very reasonable prices.

Our itineraries are designed for small groups of up to 10 persons, couples and single travellers. Itineraries can be combined, and number of days and choice of locations can be adjusted to suit your own travel requirements. Just let us know your preferred travel dates and interests, and we will arrange a tailor-made programme for you in the Himalayan foothills for you!
