The Corbett Waterfalls, a small but awesome view, is in the backdrop of scenic greenish forest. Full Moon light colored waterfall is really worth-while to observe. The area is admired as a camping site with a vast diversity of plants and birds. The wide area around the water falls provides very good parking and camping facilities. It is a very nice picnic spot.

Jim Corbett House/ Jim Corbett Museum:

Jim Corbett Museum (Kaladhungi) is situated 25 kilometres from BAZPUR. It's a place called Jim’s house, which is now converted into a museum. Many visitors to Corbett National Park are not aware of this wonderful place.
Its an old place. The place is clean with lawns and flora well preserved and having a laid-back leisure charm in it. There are plaques, life size oil paintings, lots of text about Jim and his family, some of his furniture etc. It won't take you too long to cover the place but do take time out to read about him and his beliefs on eco-village, a model village. Often this place is not frequented by many and with its rusty old world building it gives a contrast feeling.

Sitavani:

Sita Vani, as the name suggests, is associated with the Ramayana, a Hindu epic. It is believed that Sita, the protagonist of Ramayana, spent her days stranded in exile during the agnipariksha episode. Sitabani is a birdwatchers’ paradise and there is an ashram tucked away in the jungle. Panthers and other wildlife move to Sitabani when the tourist season is on in Corbett.
