Leopard that killed 450+ people was shot down by Jim Corbett




The world famous Mango tree where Sir Jim Corbett used to sit on his Machan. Infact it's rare to find a Mango Tree in the lap of Himalayas.This is the village where the pandit lived who was even attacked by the Leopard. The leopard made numerous attempt to kill the pandit. He also talked about a lot about the terrace farming and the Manadakini & Alaknanda river. He also described very well about the mountains accross the river. The Leopard has almost killed 450+ people in this area and he used to roam around in 300 sq km. Yes finally the Leopard was shot here by world famous shooter, Jim Corbett Sir.

Museum is being built here.

And my favorite book. Carried the book just for this click.

I am in the lap of Himalayas. I feel blessed.

Jim Corbett and the bridge North of Rudraprayag in October 2019 (Courtesy: Mukul Mukherjee)


This used to be a tower bridge earlier where Jim Corbett has spend sleepless nights to hunt down the Man-eater Leopard of Rudraprayag.
And the Leopard used to take this bridge mostly during night to enter the town and search for a kill and move out before the dawn.

The bridge is well described in the book and has been said about it numerous time. This bridge is located at North of Rudraprayag.
