Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand, Jim Corbett National Park is India’s oldest national park and a true jewel for wildlife and nature lovers. Established in 1936 as Hailey National Park and later renamed after the legendary hunter-turned-conservationist Jim Corbett, it is famed as the birthplace of Project Tiger, the country’s flagship conservation program. The park’s vast landscapes of dense sal forests, rolling grasslands, riverine belts, and tranquil lakes are home to an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, including the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger. Beyond wildlife, Corbett offers a peek into the region’s rich cultural heritage, from Kumaoni traditions to colonial-era history.
