Tiger
Jim Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India and was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park to protect the endangered royal Bengal tiger. It is located in Nainital district and Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand and was named after Jim Corbett, a well known hunter and naturalist. The park was the first to come under the Project Tiger initiative.
The park has sub-Himalayan belt geographical and ecological characteristics. An ecotourism destination, it contains 488 different species of plants and a diverse variety of fauna. The park area comprises of hills, marshy depressions, riverine belts, grasslands and large lake. It is among the few tiger reserves in India that allows overnight stays in the lap of the wilderness. Nature watch and wildlife viewing in the park is done in an open jeep and on elephant back. Sheltering a healthy population of tigers and rare species like otters and the endemic fish eating crocodile, the national park is one of the most sought after destinations for the wildlife buffs.
