What are the places to see in Jim Corbett?
The Jim Corbett National Park is tucked away in the serene and verdant district of Nainital. Surrounded by the alpine mist-shrouded peaks of the Kumaon hills, the dense forest is undeniably scenic with acres of sal, oak wood and teak forest. In short, the foliage and fauna of the forest is worth every praise. This also explains why the full-fledged foliage of Jim Corbett is home to some of the most exotic migratory birds. Have you ever watched a white stork or a finch just fly away? The answer is mostly a big ‘No.’
Migratory birds are quite rare and almost impossible to trace in the smog and bustles of cities. Therefore, nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and birders have a great time indulging in a holiday in Jim Corbett.
