Located in Nainital district of Uttarakhand, Jim Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India. Established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, it was later renamed in honour of Jim Corbett. Spread over 520 sq km, it is a part of the 1200 sq km Tiger Reserve.

The park, which covers more than 500 square kilometers and features a variety of environments like woods, rivers, and grasslands, was first established to save the endangered Bengal tiger. It is well-known for its abundant biodiversity and is home to a wide range of wildlife species, including deer, elephants, and leopards. Jim Corbett National Park is a vital part of India's Project Tiger initiative, aimed at tiger conservation and preserving their natural habitat.

The Royal Bengal Tigers, the park's most perfectly dangerous marauders, are found in its forests. Perhaps Corbett is a dream destination for many wildlife enthusiasts worldwide because of these angry mammoths of the wooded woods. Jim Corbett, which is tucked away in the Uttarakhand Himalayan foothills, is still the most well-established national park on the edge of the Asian continent.

This area was designated as a National Park in 1936, despite the fact that preservation efforts there started in 1868. The fact that this wildlife attraction was the first Tiger Reserve established in 1973 as part of Project Tiger serves as an additional point of reference in its historical context. Although many plant species now call it home, the Royal Bengal Tiger is the one who has brought attention to the area and increased tourists.As previously said, the Jim Corbett National Park is a wildlife enthusiast's dream destination; as such, visitors from all corners of the globe regularly swarm it.
