Man eaters of Kumaon -Jim Corbet
We have all heard of and some might have even visited jim corbet park in Kumaon region।
A good resort now it is famous for tigers and leopards
Jim Corbet operated here for 40 years and was given task to trace and shootdown man eating tigers।
These killed thousands in that time ।
The 7 jungle stories were finally converted to a book Man Eaters of Kumaon with 10 stories।
Incidentally Corbet gave great information on local flora fauna and villagers।
The incidents told in running commentary and narrative form are thrilling specially in night tracking and breath taking।you feel as if you just saved yourself and as if tiger is stalking you ।In one story the cunning tigers silently walks along side Jim over the bush row looking to right moment to jump।
A close brush with death for sure।
In his honour jim corbet park was named in wild life sactuary।
It is beautiful jungle area।
Do read it।
