Jim Corbett Nightlife

Jim Corbett is as alive at night as it is during day time. Although venturing out is not recommended but there are many other things to be done. Silence is the best music they say, and it becomes more heavenly if combined with some jungle sounds. If you go to Jim Corbett National Park and you don't enjoy the music of the night then you will seriously miss out on a lot of fun.It's great to spot animals during tiger safari at Jim Corbett National Park, but to feel their presence at night gives you an entirely different feeling. Imagine sitting by your bonfire or in your balcony and listening to distant alarm calls of deers, and what if the calls are from a nearby area??? Enjoy the eerie silence broken by nocturnal birds at regular intervals while gazing at the stars in the night sky accompanied by the clatter of kosi river flowing by. There is never a dull moment in the jungle they say, come and experience it yourself they say :)
