In the afternoon we'll go into the National Park. Corbett National Park protects a large tract of forest and savanna in the Himalayan foothills, and was India's first National Park. In winter it can be cold in these areas, and birds descend from the higher levels of the Himalayas to add to the park's bird riches. The variety of birds in the area is fantastic, and the area has its own population of Tigers. We shall be journeying on elephant back into the park in search of these and other wildlife, including Sloth Bear and Mugger Crocodile. The lodge inside Corbett is simple (you could e ven say spartan) but the food is good, and the location is fabulous! Two nights Corbett National Park .

We ascend the Himalayan foothills through ever more spectacular scenery to the hill station of Nainital. A somewhat worn but picturesque remnant of the British Raj, Nainital lies beside a glacial lake, and is backed by a crater-like ridge, with snowcapped
peaks beyond rising to over 2,600 m. The area is a mixture of pinewoods, open country and small lakes, and the views from some of the hills behind the town are simply fantastic. Here Lammergeiers and Himalayan Griffon Vultures soar overhead, and we shall be walking amongst
the area's forests and fields in search of resident and migrant mountain birds, including Red-flanked Bluetail, Streaked Laughing-Thrush, Altai Accentor and Golden Bush Robin, for a spectacular finale to the trip. Overnights in Hotel in Nainital.
