[Simran Buttar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Author tried to track the routes that Jim Corbett took on his famous outings while in Kumaon. But the issue is he never completed most of the trails due to one or other reasons. There is ton of information on how to get to certain village that Jim has mentioned during his hunting years, few year back this would have had been invaluable information but with high resolution 3d Google maps available of the area it is fairly easy to understand the routes and trails.
Another issue is that the author traveled to Kumaon numerous times between 1980 and 2005 (when this book was published)but in his writing it is not explicit on what areas he visited in what years and if the information he provided will still be valid.
Overall this is an ok read with insight into various trails and routes followed by Jim during early 20th century.
