Jim Corbett National Park, located in the state of Uttarakhand, India, is a revered sanctuary for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Established in 1936 as Hailey National Park to protect the endangered Bengal tiger, it was later renamed in honor of the legendary British hunter turned conservationist, Jim Corbett. This park is the oldest national park in India and epitomizes the rich biodiversity of the Terai region. Spanning over an area of 520 square kilometers, its terrain comprises hills, marshy depressions, riverine belts, grasslands, and a large lake. It is home to a plethora of wildlife including tigers, elephants, deer, leopards, and over 650 species of birds. The park's natural beauty is complemented by the Ramganga River, which meanders through its heart, enhancing the region's picturesque landscape. Visitors can embark on jeep safaris, elephant rides, or canter tours to explore the wilderness and observe the fauna in their natural habitat. Jim Corbett National Park serves as a protected area for critically endangered species and plays a crucial role in the conservation of India's wildlife.
