Where to stay, Jim Corbett, Nainital, Ranikhet
Hectic schedules, deadlines to meet and jet setting around the world certainly deserve a break How about a trip to paradise!!!!
Imagine a place where you could see the world's majestic big cat called "Tiger", catch the world's toughest sporting fish called "Mahseer" trek on the foothills of Almora Ranges where a whiff of fresh air and fragrance of exotic flowers greet you at every step, raft down the Ramganga river, drive to Manila for special lunch in the mountains under the clear blue sky with Nanda Devi, Trishul Bander Punchi and other high peaks of Himalayas for company and enjoy the sunrise as it splashes hues of red on blushing mountains. You think your imagination is working over time? Well, think again. Paradise is closer than you think.
