As one treks along the route surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, every inch becomes a fresh song of nature and at every curve the eyes embrace a new landscape more beautiful than before. Reaching the upper levels, the trees fall off, the pines cease and the road enters an enchanted garden of fern, wild flowers ands rhododendron. The glacier over 3.2 kilometers in length and 1.5 km. broad, backed by mighty mountains, loom-up on the traveler with a gorgon gaze, leaving an indelible impression of grandeur. Situated on the Nanda Devi and Nanda Kote peaks, it extends from 3657 M to above sea level, on an open, undulating piece of ground. To the east is a lofty moraine constituted of gravel, mud and blocks of snow embeded in ice. It owed its existence to vast quantities above, which melted by the noon day sun, is frozen at night. A ground past, over the glacier, at a height of 5393 metres leads to the Trails’s Pass. A trip to the Pindari Glacier is well within the capacity of any trekker, amply rewarded by magnificence of the majestic grandeur of the Himalayas, the beauty of mountain flora and fauna, the snowy ranges, gurgling hill torrents and roaring water-falls and the rays of the morning sun splitting into manifold spectral hues, making visible every drop of dew on every blade of grass while in the distance, over the mountains, come the plaintive notes of a shepherds’ flute. The incredible wealth of colour and beauty never ceases to amaze, as with every curve of a meandering rivulet, and every corner rounded is present a new spectacle. BY:-KMVN
Corbett National Park is located just nearby Ramganga River in Uttaranchal. At Evening Residents of Ram Nagar (Nearest City cum Village) always go for the walk to Park and Return from there.Corbett National Park is the first National Park of India that was formerly known as Hailey National Park. The park, spread in a vast expanse of 520.82 sq km is the pride of India when it comes to wildlife sanctuaries. Initial efforts were done by Major Ramsay in 1900 and in 1936 an area of 256 sq. km was marked for the park by the then Governor General of United province Sir Malcolm Hailey. All these efforts had come up as a result of few conservationists who wanted to protect the park from being cut down and animals being hunted down on regular basis. The Park was finally named Jim Corbett National Park in 1957 after Jim Corbett. He was a known man in the area, a hunter turned conservationists. He knew the place inside out and played an important role in making the park a success story. He had also hunted down several man eating tigers in the area in 1950's. The park was named after him after he died. In 1970's when extinction of tigers in the country became a serious issue, Project Tiger was inaugurated from Corbett National Park with the aid from World Wildlife Fund. In 1991 the area of park was increased and Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary was also included in it. The park today is a major success as a result of continuous efforts by conservationists. It is one of the best preserved forest and tiger reserves in the country.
