Corbett National Park, named after the famous hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett is the oldest Wildlife Sanctuary in India and spread over 1200 sq. kms. Formerly known as the Hailey National Park and then Ramganga National Park, The Corbett National Park is situated in the foothills of Kumaon in the Uttarakhand State. The reserve stands at an average altitude ranging between 1000 ft. to 3100 ft. above the sea level. Located in the sub-Himalayan belt, the park is also a famous ecotourism destination.

Corbett National Park is known for the Royal Bengal Tiger and obviously as a launch pad for the prestigious Project Tiger in India. The dense sub-Himalayan jungle, the River Ramganga flowing through the park and an abundance of prey make it an ideal home for the Indian Tiger.

It’s true that Corbett has not only captured the imaginations but also dreams of many wildlife enthusiasts who come here to witness different habitats. Apart from the Royal Bengal Tiger, the Asiatic Elephant is arguably the next most famous wild resident of Corbett National Park. Some of the other animals spotted in the reserve - Leopard, Cheetal, Sambhar, Wild Boar and Langoor. Also due to 600 species of Avifauna, Corbett is probably one of the richest Bird Sanctuaries in India.

Any wonder then that Corbett has been described as the land of the Roar, Trumpet and Song!
