Day 8/9: Rishiskesh – Corbett National Park+ Rest Day
Being only a 5 hour drive it gave the participants an opportunity to take in the beautiful landscape that changed from a mountain hill side into a jungle. The road out of Rishikesh followed the Ganges River for a short while. Once again there were no major incidences along the route. On arrival every sat on the balcony with a view over a river eating pokharas and drinking beer
The hotel arranged for elephant rides and jeep rides to begin at dawn in order to search for tigers within the park. Only one lucky group saw one walk out in front of their elephant! However for everyone else all we saw was a few monkeys and few insects. Nevertheless it was a really fun experience. In the afternoon there were more jeeps and elephant rides as well as the meachnanics fixing up any problems that ahd occured over the past few days. The evening eneded in a compettive Ping Pong championship. In the end it was won by John Brigden and Yves-Marie after many gruelling matches.
