Founded in 1936, Corbett National Park was named after Jim Corbett, a renowned hunter, author, conservationist and photographer.
Visitors have the opportunity to explore the park in open jeeps or on the back of an elephant in search of an unforgettable glimpse of the magnificent tiger or the elusive leopard. Resident herds of elephant share the unspoiled stretches of the reserve with black bear, wild boar and sloth bear.
