Animals
Tigers
Corbett Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the most densely populated parks in India with a ratio of 1 tiger to every 5 acres. Gullies, ravines and thick forest cover provide the animals with the right kind of habitat and food. The tiger is basically withdrawn by nature, but you can somewhat predict its regular route. You are more likely to spot a tiger close near a water body than to meet him or her accidentally on the forest path.
Asiatic Elephant
Corbett Wildlife Sanctuary is the best place in north India to observe the Asiatic Elephant at fairly close quarters. About 300 - 350 elephants roam around the sanctuary in herds, along the river Ramganga or wandering in the grasslands.
