Titli Tyar – Butterfly Festival at Corbett, Ramnagar

Butterflies are amazing. They are beautiful, with myriad shades and patterns imprinted with the love and care of Mother Nature on their delicate wings. We envisioned this Butterfly in my Backyard Titli Tyar or Butterfly Festival with an aim to develop awareness of these precious creations amongst the local community at Corbett and the scores of tourists that visit every year.

Titli Tyar will spread awareness on the sensitive topic of Habitat Creation for Butterflies in and around the Corbett Landscape.

The idea is to germinate the minds of populaces from every sphere of life with the beauty of these fairy like winged creatures and their importance in our ecosystem.

The principal location for this years’ Titli Tyar is the biodiversity hotspot of Kyari in the Corbett Landscape region. An amazing countryside coupled with an almost complete ecosystem, Kyari is a gem in the Corbett National Park area with an array of vegetation supporting a range of smaller species at the base of the food chain. Other areas that will be covered for Titli Tyar:

Corbett Belt – Dhikuli, Ringora, Kumeriya, Dhela, Sawaldeh | Nainital Belt – Pangot
