Q2. What precautions must I take for my safety while in Corbett Tiger Reserve?
Corbett is a restricted area with its governance by Supreme authorities. You need to follow
some strict measures for the safety of yourself and your family, friends, or groups traveling
with you. First, the visitors must always travel only in the designated vehicles in Corbett
Tiger Reserve with a naturalist or a forest guide. Second, it is always noted that you must
maintain a safe distance from the animals and not startle them by making noises, talking
loudly, or playing any music.
Always carry your entry permits for entry into different zones. Stay in your designated vehicles. Also, never try to feed the animals. All of such activities are punishable offenses. You must practice responsible eco-tourism and must not litter anything in the park. Wear heavy base winter clothes in December and January as the temperature is quite unpredictable. I prefer to wear lighter shades of clothes for a safe safari experience. Sit firmly in the vehicle and be watchful of the dangling branches and avoid the touch of plants, or do not eat any fruits or leaves. Obey all rules and regulations set for your safety. Also, do not try to engage in toxic smoking behaviors, as it is a serious fire hazard to the forest. Avoid consuming non-veg or alcohol throughout your safari venture.
