Corbett National Park, India's first and the finest wildlife reserve is located at an altitude of 600 to 1100 meters in the foothills of the western Himalayas in the Nainital, Pauri Garhwal and Bijnore districts of Uttaranchal. Founded in 1936, the then Hailey National Park was named after Governor Sir Malcolm Haily. For some time it was also named as Ramganga National Park after India's independence in 1947. Finally it was renamed as Jim Corbett National Park in 1956 in honour of the famous hunter turned wildlife conservationist and naturalist Jim Corbett.

 

It was one among the nine chosen tiger reserves for Project Tiger, a wildlife conservation project started in India with the help of World Wildlife Fund in 1972 primarily with the objective of protecting the critically endangered Bengal Tigers and its habitat. On 1st April, 1973 Project Tiger was launched and Corbett boasts of being the first natural habitat of the majestic predator.Today it is counted as one of the most congested parks having a ratio of 1tiger to every 5 acres. Equally famous for its huge wildlife population of elephants, leopards and several other species.
