Jim Corbett National Park is located in Nainital district of Uttarakhand(India) .It was first established in 1936 as  Hailey National Park after Sir Malcolm Hailey, the Governor of United Provinces (India) and it was Asia's first national park established to protect the endangered Bengal tiger. It was  renamed in 1955–56 as Corbett National Park ,in honour of Jim Corbett ,well known author and wildlife conservationist,who played a pivotal role in helping the British establish this reserve .

We chose a road trip ,starting from Delhi and going through Moradabad-Thakurdwara-Kashipur-Ramnagar route to reach our destination.Passing through Muradabad district one can't help noticing the lush sugarcane and yellow mustard fields on both sides of the road and the road itself traversed by tractor lorries loaded with sugarcane on its way to the sugar mills,suddenly realising why Uttar Pradesh is called the 'Sugar Bowl of India '!



The road was well maintained but since there are …

The latest pandemic to hit the world is … the urge to travel and explore !

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard.

Travel is a great teacher, we get to explore firsthand and learn about the different lands, their climates, their rich local cultures and the exotic cuisines .

 Glycerin can be made from animal fat or vegetable oil. Vegetable glycerin,is produced from plant oils, typically palm oil, soy, or coconut oil.Animal Glycerin is made from animal fats, such as tallow, grease, or lard .

Vegetable glycerin acts as a better solvent (than ethanol ) that dissolves the  botanical extracts, …
