Established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, it was the first national park in India, named after the legendary hunter and naturalist, Jim Corbett, who playe d a key role in its establishment. The park covers a vast area of over 520 square kilometers, encompassing hills, riverine belts, grasslands, and a large lake. It's traversed by the Ramganga River, which supports its rich biodiversity.

Leopards: Another major predator found in the park. Deer Species: Sambar, Spotted Deer (Chital), Barking Deer, and Hog Deer are abundant. Birds: Over 600 species of birds, making it a birdwatcher's paradise. Reptiles: Crocodiles, Gharials, and various snakes. The park is divided into several tourism zones, with Dhikala (known for its deep forest and diverse wildlife, requiring overnight stay) and Bijrani (known for its excellent tiger sightings and beautiful grasslands) being the most popular for jeep safaris. Jhirna and Dhela are also open throughout the year. The primary activity in Corbett is the Jeep Safari (or Canter Safari for Dhikala), offering an exhilarating opportunity to spot wildlife in their natural habitat. Booking safaris in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak season. Jim Corbett National Park offers an unparalleled wilderness experience, combining thrilling wildlife encounters with the serene beauty of the Himalayan foothills.
