The Daabka river is one of the major rivers which criss-cross the Corbett landscape. Even though the width of the river at any given time doesn't exceed 10 metres, the river bed is around 80 metres wide, owing to constantly changing course of flow. The exposed riverbed is a hotbed for illegal mining(for stones and sand) and we saw 2 tractors constantly removing the same from the riverbed. Even this niche is a habitat for many birds, insects and reptiles , which is often overlooked when a land is termed as 'barren'.
