Where Elephants Roam Free
Dhikala, Corbett National Park. This herd of Elephants was grazing just outside our forest lodging deep in the jungles of Corbett. The nearest elephant is a juvenile tusker and the largest one on the right is the adult dominant female of the herd. The other juveniles are bunched around her for protection as she closely observes the two forest vehicles for any signs of danger.
Corbett is located in the far north of India close to the Himalayan foothills also called the Shivalik Hills. The nearest city is Dehra Dun and the park is a 5.5 hour drive north-east of Delhi. Its the largest tiger reserve in the country and is home to other wildlife like elephants, crocodiles, bears (very few), boars, spotted deer, sambar deer, and various species of monkeys. On our last trip to Corbett in January we were attacked by an adult male tiger. Story is here: www.flickr.com/photos/49403400@N08/6977770225/in/set-7215...
