CoRbett Falls<br />

This famous waterfall is yet another bit of pride of the<br />

much acclaimed Jim Corbett National Park. 25 kilometers<br />

from Ramnagar, in the thick teak wood jungles<br />

is a narrow winding road of 1.7 kilometers that takes<br />

one to the awe-inspiring Corbett Water Falls. Falling<br />

from a height of 20 meters, the Corbett Waterfall is<br />

surrounded by dense forests with a rich diversity of<br />

plant and bird species. The silence in this zone and<br />

the serene surroundings make this spot ideal for bird<br />

watching and nature walks in this area. The spectacle<br />

is much more enticing than Kempty Falls of Mussoorie<br />

and is a famous camping hide out, picnic spot<br />

and trek route.<br />

To encourage awareness about the Corbett Falls and<br />

make it more accessible to the public, the forest department<br />

is taking necessary measures to provide all<br />

amenities, and regular public and private transport<br />

services are made available to make this spot the convenient<br />

for nature enthusiasts and tourists.<br />
