Chris Mills & Jacky Harris, UK
My partner and I visited Corbett in January 2002 towards the end of a two-week birding trip to Northern India. We had three days at the Camp Forktail Creek at Corbett, with the people at Wild World India who provided excellent camping accommodation, food and guiding.

 
 
Itinerary on request

Western Ghats, North-East, Thar Desert

This tour offers a choice of three broad geographical zones that constitute India's vast endemic gene pool - the arid/semi-arid Desert Wildlife in the West, the Western Ghats in the South and the rich Eastern Himalayan, Indo-Burmese, Sino-Tibetan genetic overlap in the North-East. A combination of at least two sectors would give you a fair idea of endemics in India. As a marvel of natural history, this tour reveals a diverse assemblage of plants, butterflies, mammals, birds and reptiles found nowhere else on earth.

In Western India, the Thar Desert Wildlife supports Chinkara, Blackbuck and Indian Bustard, the Rann of Kutch has the Asiatic Wild Ass while Gir is the last refuge of the Asiatic Lion. The Western Ghats has endemic species like Rustyspotted Cat, Malabar Giant Squirrel (the largest in the world), Nilgiri Tahr, Lion-tailed Macaque and exotic birds like Malabar Whistling Thrush, Waynad Laughing Thrush and Malabar Pied Hornbill.

The North-East is still revealing its biological treasures, where three large mammals have been discovered in recent years, including the Javan Rhino, Malayan Sun-bear and Leaf Deer. You can see the One-horned Rhino and Gangetic Dolphin at Kaziranga, Brow-antlered Deer in Manipur and other endemics like Pygmy Hog, Golden Langur, Hispid Hare, Assamese Macaque, Bengal Florican, several hornbills and the world's highest diversity of freshwater turtle species.
