Marchula

There is no better way to truly live the forest than by walking through it. We often see and learn more on 100 m of track than on a two-hour jeep ride. It is forbidden to explore on foot Jim Corbett National Park, rich in tigers. However, as the lodge is located in the buffer zone of the Corbett Reserve, the expertly guided hikes around Vanghat in an environment are equally amazing and species-rich. On foot, your senses are intensified in nature and reconnect to the elements, noticing that lizards make their way out of your way to the myriad birds and rustling in the undergrowth. Accompanied by a savvy tracker, you will learn to identify species by their sounds, footprints and traces left in their wake, such as scratch marks of a tiger on trees, the nest of a wild boar, or the passage of an elephant in the tall grass. Compared to 4x4 exploration, you may see fewer large mammals, but nothing is more exciting than seeing wildlife on foot, and it's not uncommon for safari enthusiasts to share the landscape with deer, elephants and sometimes big cats.
