I also did some digging and found that Chunakhan Eco Tourism centre is just 36km driving distance from Corbett and about 22km to the east is Haldwani.

on this map, where it says Corbett-Ramnagar and underneath where it says Boar river. that’s pretty much the area where this tiger originated from. Also, if i’m not mistaken @Ashutosh mentioned a while back that tigers from this region are just as impressive as their Eastern cousins and in the last couple of years. i was able to see it for myself. thanks to the growing population of tigers and increased tourism activity from this region.

Is it Chunakhan near the north or another Chunakhan in Jharkhand? Sometimes, the Chunakhan Monster is called Beast of Hazaribagh. Hazaribagh is in Jharkhand.

This Chunakhan is near Hazaribagh in Jharkhand. I have been born and brought up in Ranchi, Jharkhand and as a child was a regular visitor of the Palamau and Hazaribagh areas of Jharkhand. As a correlation to confirm the same, one may read the text on the page. The names Manjho, Bulu and Sanjhalu are typical Chotanagpuri Adivasi Tribal/Santhal names. Also the village mentioned as Jarwadih points to this area as the suffix "dih" which generally means a mound or small water body is a very commonly prevalent name in the Easterrn hilly and plateau parts. eg Manduadih, Santhaldih etc. In fact I did a mapping around the town of Hazaribagh on Google Earth after reading this. From the centre of Hazaribagh town if one draws a line of Bearing 71.5 deg and Range 33 Kms one comes to a hilly and forested part with a small hill stream. The names Chunapathar waterfall and village Jarudih are there. Lat is 24 deg 5' 36.66" and Long 85 deg 40' 40.08". One may check it out.
Hazaribagh is a place once famous for its forests and Tigers in local, Bihari and Bengali litreature and lore. Infact the name Hazaribagh may have 2 origins. Hazari Bagh may mean a place of a thousand gardens ie hazar is thousand and bag means garden in Bengali, Hindi, local and most Indian Languages metamorphosed from Sanskrit. The other meaning is place of a thousand Tigers as Bagh is Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Marathi etc word for Tiger from the Sanskrit Wyaghra or Byaghra for Tiger.
The latter seems more probable as the area is historically known as a forested wilderness since ancient times and still has remnants of that forest cover. Reply
