About Megha Sharma 

Actress Megha has been part of shows like ‘Baal Krishna’ and ‘Mahakali-Anth Hi Aarambh Hai’ etc. Her latest role was in ‘Pandya Store’ where she played the role of Chhabili. Now, she has quit the show because of the lack of screen time and is planning a vacation to refresh her mind. 

Talking about her holiday plan, she said that she is planning a vacation to refresh her mind before diving back into work. She wants to spend some time at home with her family first to unwind and relax, she’ll be in a better mindset for the vacation. She added, “ My motto for this trip is ‘Stress, Depression Jaye Bhaad Me, Hum Chale Pahad Me’.”

Vacations are Important 

The actress further expressed that holidays are important for the actors. She said “When we’re working on a show, it’s non-stop. Sometimes for a year or two, or even 7-8 months, we’re stuck in a routine of going from home to set and back. We hardly get any time off to travel or do personal tasks. So, when we do get a week off or a day or two, we have to decide whether to travel, take care of personal matters, or do chores at home.

New Schedule for June Night Stay Booking in Corbett

Uncategorized

Some changes have been made to the Forest Rest House Bookings and a new schedule for June night stay booking in Jim Corbett has been made. Many people like to stay for the night in Jim Corbett National Park and they make a booking for it in advance. Generally, booking for a night stay starts 45 days before the actual date of stay. This means that people can book their Forest Rest House 45 days before their actual stay date. But now some changes have been made regarding this matter because of the monsoon season. Let’s know about the change in detail.  

Change in Booking System

Jim Corbett National Park officials have now decided that booking of Forest Rest House will not be made 45 days in advance. The month of June is considered a rainy month and due to this the park remains wet sometimes, so it’s risky to stay inside or to go inside on safari. Previously, during June, all zones remained open for safari and you were able to book it 45 days in advance for a night stay. But now there is a change in this matter.

Now if you want to stay in the Forest Rest House in June then booking will start 2 days in advance. This means that the booking portal will open at an interval of 2 days till 14th June. In easy language – if you want to book a night stay for a forest rest house for 1 June then you will be able to book it on 30 May. No 45-day advance booking is allowed. This method will be followed till 14 June. Please see the schedule of the night stay booking given below.

Popularity: The Kota Zone was officially inaugurated on March 22, but because the model code of conduct was in force it was a low-key affair. Despite being a subdued event, it has gained popularity among tourists in a short period. Till now, more than 6000 tourists have already visited this zone and they enjoyed coming here a lot, said the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Diganth Nayak. He further added that a lot of work still remains to be done in this zone.

Feature: The prime feature of this zone is its animal sightings. Because of the water body, many animals have been spotted in this zone. This zone offers enhanced habitat for majestic tigers, elusive leopards, and elephants with its man-made water bodies. 

Attraction: One thing that makes this zone different is that it has artificially created water bodies that animals are extensively using. These water bodies are indicating a positive impact on the local wildlife and their natural behaviors within this newly developed area. 

Rules: Being a part of the Corbett landscape renowned for its majestic tigers, elusive leopards, and elephants, this area also has the same rules and safety measures that are made for other zones of the park.
