Truly loved the four days / three nights Camera trap expedition at Jamoon Resort in Corbett. Great company of fellow photographers (Milind & Nitin) & wonderfully organised Mayuresh. The technical knowledge shared by Mayuresh with on-field learnings was very good. Very happy that I got two Tigers & an Indian Civet on my camera trap during this workshop. Got some great bird images too at the bird hide. Also, the hospitality at Jamoon Resort was impeccable. Thank you DCP team for this memorable expedition.

It was an exhaustive, well-paced wonderful adventure. Jamoon is a jewel among the Indian jungle. The art and skill of camera trapping was very beautifully explained and performed by our dear mentor Mayuresh. We did learn a lot and enjoyed every second of our stay there. The resort is very well kept by the caretaker Shri Raju. The amazing food spread by the cook Shri Jaybeer was great and I was surprised to not find a single blemish in the food in the three days' stay. The mentor and the fellow participants were great company and have become permanent friends now. There is no phone network at the place, which is a good thing! One cautionary word though: The trekking to and fro the resort is not very simple. Persons with climbing or walking issues should rethink or be prepared. Overall, a great experience. Thanks DCP.
