Traveler Notes 7 Trip To Ramnagar 2

And so we left the next morning from Ramnagar on Maruti towards the national park. The distance is about 44 km. On the way, we saw a couple of huge elephants, from above, which the Europeans rode wildly and shouted, laughed.

Maruti was not particularly in a hurry, and here we are in front of the closed gate to the national park. Security is not in place. And the entrance is blocked by a thick chain. The drivers went to look for a guard. In the meantime, we stayed in the cars.

Half an hour later a sleepy guard came, reluctantly opened the lock and lowered the chain. Our professors gave us a tour of the museum right next to the guard's booth, then went to the store where you could buy T-shirts and baseball caps with the Jim Corbett National Park logo. And there the tiger was a symbol. But our Sri Lankan counterpart didn't buy anything. He explained this by saying that if he put on a T-shirt or hat with a tiger, he would be tied up right there at the Bandaranaike airport and the security forces would tie him up. Since the "Tiger" is the symbolism forbidden in our Sri Lanka armed group.

After wandering for another hour. We went by car to drive around the park. First we went to the hills to study the forest with sal trees. They are 28-30 meters high, the diameter of the crown is about 10 meters. Our task was to measure them, as well as clarifying the spectra, geo-referencing and clarifying on satellite maps whether these trees are really displayed on them.

Deep into the jungle. It was interesting, we got a kilometer away from the road, and further the foresters didn't let us in, they say - the possessions of tigers and elephants, people do not go there.

Imperceptibly, it was lunch time. Just arrived at the house of foresters. He was empty. Having placed cars on a hill, we students began to get our simple lunch. In iron lunch boxes there was boiled rice boiled in steep eggs, separately stewed in oil roots and vegetables. Instead of tea, we drank warm mineral water.

Exactly an hour pa.s.sed and we were already on our feet. Again we went to clarify the contour on a satellite map. Each circuit had its own digital and letter designation. We had to go around the entire territory of 55,000 hectares and check all the contours. What was located there. Forests and shrubs with their names, as well as agricultural land indicating the crops that were grown there.
