At Dhikalaguides, we remember Edward James Corbett not just as a name behind a national park, but as the man whose life forever changed the way we see the forest.
In the early 1900s, when entire villages lived in fear of man-eating tigers and leopards, Corbett walked into the jungle alone — not to kill for sport, but to restore balance. With unmatched tracking skills, an eye for detail, and deep empathy, he brought an end to the terror of the Champawat Tigress, the Panar Leopard, and many more. These were not ordinary hunts — they were acts of service. His courage saved hundreds of lives and gave voice to the voiceless — both human and wild.
The forests of Dhikala still echo with his presence. The Ramganga still flows past the same grasslands he once described. Today, we walk those same trails — not with a rifle, but with binoculars and field guides, continuing his mission in a new form: conservation through respect, knowledge, and coexistence.
At Dhikalaguides, we honour his legacy every single day — with every guest, every story, and every silent morning spent listening to the jungle.
“The man-eater is not a killer by choice. Often, it is wounded or wronged.”
— Jim Corbett
