Corbett National Park is the oldest National Park of the Indian subcontinent. It was established on 8th August, 1936 with an area of 323.75 sq. kms and was named after 'Jim Corbett' in 1957, as homage to the deceased conservationist, who had been instrumental in its formation as a protected area. In 1966 an additional area was added to Corbett National Park bringing it to its present area of 520.82 sq. kms. The Corbett Tiger Reserve is spread over 1288 sq. kms. and includes apart from Corbett National Park, additional areas of Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary and Reserve Forest buffer zone .

James Edward Corbett, better known to the world as Jim Corbett, was born at Nainital on 25 July 1875. A hunter turned conservationist, Jim's " Man-eaters of Kumaon"- a book narrating his tales of notorious man-eating tigers brought him lasting fame.

Jim retained a 'compassion' even for man-eaters, as he realised that they killed humans only to appease the most primary instinct of hunger because some disability or injury prevented them from hunting their normal prey. In many cases the disability or injury was inflicted by humans.

The Government had granted him the 'Freedom of the Forests' - a very special privilege in those days. With his diverse abilities he became the first naturalist in India to start daylight photography of tigers in their natural habitat. In 1929 he produced a number of excellent films which he later gifted to the Natural History Museum in London. On 19 April 1955, he passed to the 'Happy Hunting Grounds' at Nyeri in Kenya and was laid to rest next to Lord Baden Powell.

The Corbett National Park is famous the world over as the 'Land of trumpet, roar and song'. In Corbett National Park apart from tigers some of the other cats which can be seen are leopards, jungle cats and leopard cats. Large herds of elephant are also found near Ramganga.

The Park has a spectacular bio diversity- 110 species of trees, 51 shrubs, 27 climbers, 37 grasses, 50 endemic species of mammals, 26 reptiles and 7 amphibians. With over 580 species of resident and migratory birds recorded here, Corbett is a birdwatcher's paradise. Peacock, Kaleej Pheasant, Pallas's Fishing Eagle, White Collared Falconet, Storkbilled Kingfisher, Wall Creeper, Brown Fish Owl and several species of Bulbuls, Woodpeckers & Parakeets are some of the attractive birds found in the Corbett landscape.
