Elephant, also know as 'bull dozers of forests' have been useful for humans in patrolling / exploring forests since centuries. Elephant safari is one of the best means to explore the jungles as it does not need to follow any specific route and provides an excellent chance to observe wildlife closely.
Also elephant safari is the most natural and silent way of exploring the forests in Corbett as wild elephants also roam these forests and animals are pretty used to these animals in the wild. Sitting on the back of largest land animal is in itself an experience and when it is added with beautiful natural landscape and rough terrain, it adds on to the adventure and thrill. It is perfect ride for those who like to explore forests in different ways.
