Do's & Dont's at Tiger Reserve - Jim Corbett National Park
Please enter the Park only after taking the
necessary permits and follow all the rules.
Please obtain services of Nature Guides that the
Park has trained for your benefit. They are of great help to you in spotting
wildlife and ensuring that you do not lose your way in the forest.
Keep to the specified roads and trails. Driving off
track you may trample growing trees and cause disturbance to resting animals
and their young.
Respect the wild animals and maintain a safe
distance from them. Remember, you are in their home and they get first
priority.
Listen to the music of the forest instead of your
car stereo or transistor. The quieter you are, the more the chances of your
seeing wildlife.
Wear dull-coloured clothes. Bright colours alarm most
wild animals and they flee.
Don’t carry guns. Feel free to shoot with a camera
instead.
Do not smoke or light campfires in the forest.
Accidental fires can destroy this wonderful jungle in no time.
Don’t get off your vehicle at any point in the Park
except where it’s allowed. This is for your own safety and the safety of
wildlife.
The Park is not a zoo; so don’t expect to see
wildlife everywhere. Corbett is breathtaking even in its scenery.
Do not be disappointed if you don’t see a tiger.
There are many other interesting creatures that are to be seen and cherished.
Having alcohol and non vegetarian food is not
allowed.
Help keep the park pollution-free. While inside the
park, please put your entire non-biodegradable litter (tin cans,
plastic, glass bottles, metal foils etc.) into the bag and dispose of it on
