		The Gypsy landrovers used for the safaris in Corbett Park are well built but open-topped; though this affords the best view, it leaves you feeling just a little vulnerable.
		Not to mention surprisingly cold, especially in the bitter climate of Kumaon in winter and before dawn.
		Even though in the far east of Kumaon a human fatality was recently reported, in the words of Jim Corbett: “A man-eating tiger is a tiger that has been compelled, through stress of circumstances beyond its control, to adopt a diet alien to it.” Thus not all tigers are maneaters.
