where Jum Corbett found his calling. And now, you have
a very good reason to stop here. Two things stirke you
immediately when you take the detour. first the lodge.
It is a delightful place. It has been created like a
forest dak - bungalow from the bygone era. And it comes
to view only gradually as you walk down natural stone
steps amidst innumerable flower - beds that have obviously
been very carefully tended to. You feel charmed.
You
may be able to see tiger, leopard, wild boar, sloth
bear, mountian goat, barking deer and sambar. And do
keep a pair of binoculars handy - you will find perched
o trees just right next to your room or cottage, a charming
variety of birds - parakeets, bulbul, forktails, magpies,
pheasnts, chukors, quails and so on. You can take nature
walks, go fishing, bike around, take an early morning
drive to Bhatronjkhan to see the snow peaks - glow -
to - gold, play a game of scrabble, or simply let your
mind wander.
