Rivers and major water
sources at corbett national park:
The spectacular avifaunal diversity present in the Jim
Corbett National Park owes its survival to the two rivers
that flow through the park - the Ramganga (West) and River
Kosi. The Ramganga along with its tribuataries, Palain,
Mandal and Sonanadi serve as the key hydrological resource
for the park. This river which is a tributary of the
mighty Ganges, originates in the Doodhatoli ranges of the
Himalayas and flows out south-west to pass through the
Corbett. The river is much popular amongst anglers for the
'Mighty Mahseer' - the fighting fish. The endangered fish
eating ghariyal can also be seen in the Corbett stretch of
the river.
However, due to its presence at the tourist hub Dhikuli
where most of the tourist hotels and resorts are located,
the River Kosi has a more immediate connect with the
travellers to the region. Kosi flows in close proximity to
the park and not properly through it, yet it provides for
the birds and animals in the park a cruical source of
water, especially so during the dry season.
For angling and fishing enthusiasts, the best time to
visit the Jim Corbett National Park is from early October
to mid December and then again from mid of February for
the next four months.
The Corbett Wild is situated on the bank of river Kosi &
Angling Camp on the bank of river Ramganaga.
