A pilgrimage for me, to see Jim Corbett's Nainital. What can we see, 75 years after he left? Driving from Corbett National Park via Ramnagar, Kaladhungi to Nainital. We visit Guerney House, St John's Church, Jim's old school, just the entrance as the grounds were off limits. Then to a post office, lake and back.
If you have read all Jim Corbett's own books, I personally would also suggest 'Carpet Sahib. A Life of Jim Corbett' by Martin Booth, published 1986. he dedicates the book to 'the hillfolk of Kumaon, Uttar Pradesh, India.'
Books written by Jim Corbett:-
Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag
Man-Eaters of Kumaon
My India
The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon
Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag
Jungle Lore
Tree Tops
