Jim Corbett National Park, one of the greatest National Parks of Asia. Five hundred and twenty acres of forests, hills and grasslands, fed by a frisky river. A bio-diversity that is rich, rare and precious. The perfect habitat for the tiger, elephant, hog deer,birds and other wildlife species fast vanishing from the earth.

Jim Corbett has the highest density of tiger in the country - approximately one every 5 sq.km. and it was here that prestigious "Project Tiger" was launched in 1973. Four species of deer - hog deer, samber, chital, barking deer an done pray like the wild boar, support the predator.

Set up in 1936 as India’s first national park and possibly the finest, the Corbett National Park was first delimited in consultation with that great hunter and conserver, Jim Corbett. The park spans across some 920.9 square km at an altitude of 600 to 1100 metres about the foothills of the western Himalayas in the districts of Nainital and Pauri Garhwal in the state of Uttaranchal (formerly part of Uttar Pradesh). In its eventful 64-year life, it has grown considerably in size and now includes the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary as a part of its 1,319 sq km of reserved forest area.
