Monsoon has always been a special part of the year at The Corbett Tiger Reserve. Unlike the rest of the seasons the onset of the rains always brings on a different character to the Reserve. The lush foliage of the forest, new waterfalls and mist rising in the Sal forest are some wonders that the rain brings to this part of the country. It is a world full of lush unbelievable beauty. Cool clouds come low down than ever. The ground is filled with ferns, colored mushrooms, massive leaves and gem like insects. The otherwise shallow rivers swell at this time and a raft down through their densely wooded valley is a breathtaking experience.

Rafting In The Kosi River
With the first rains and the fresh "mitti" smell, the release from the oppressive heat, all life bursts forth as if it has been waiting for the moment. Frogs suddenly appear in numbers and mate; large red mites immerge from the soil by the thousands, court and then disappear again. Dazzling insects swarm from their chambers and funnel into the night sky. The color of the vegetation changes within weeks from a predominantly dusty brown to an intense green as the leaves on the deciduous trees unfold and the grasses sprout.
