Jim Corbett safari holidays in India are renowned for their wonderful wildlife. It is the oldest wildlife sanctuary in Asia and is a major birding hotspot, as well as one of the few places in India where you can see wild Asian elephants, living in the foothills of the Himalayas.
This mighty mountain range forms India's long and dramatic border with Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. The sacred River Ganges has its source here, and flows all the way through the country into the Bay of Bengal near Calcutta.
The Himalayas are very spiritual, with Rishikesh on the upper reaches of the Ganges being an important Hindu pilgrimage site. It is a holy city, as it is here that the Hindu god Lord Rama did penance for killing Ravana, the demon king of Sri Lanka. Observing the daily aarti prayer ceremony on the riverbank is a truly unforgettable experience.
It is also easy to extend your holiday to include Amritsar in the Punjab, with its splendid Golden Temple, and the old British summer capital of Shimla in the foothills of the Himalayas.
