The Corbett National Park was named in honor of the late Jim Corbett. He was a hunter and naturalist that turned author and photographer. He spent most of his years in this area and contributed in making Corbett the park it is today. The national park and tiger reserve is located in the foothills of the Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttaranchal. It is the home of a variety of tigers, leopards, elephants, birds and reptiles. Project Tiger was launched in 1973 and Corbett National Park had become the first Tiger Reserve in India. 

The park is a convenient habitat for the tigers and its prey. The natural features are comprised of hilly temporary marshy depressions, plateaus and ravines. The Royal Bengal Tigers, leopards and panthers are the main attraction and can be seen playing like house cats in the tall grass with its cubs. Bird watchers can find a paradise of avian behaviors. The wild life is endless and compelling. The park is inviting the eco-traveler to get lost in this ecological heaven. 
 
Safaris in the area are abundant with a multitude of ways to experience what you set out to see. Be it in a jeep, horse back, on the back of an elephant or even a nature walk the park is a palace of natural wonders. These tours can be arranged at the park itself or numerous surrounding travel agencies located near and around the park. Some major accesses to the park are Dhikala, Delhi, Locknow and Ramnagar. The best time to visit is from November 15th to June 15th. The park is closed during the monsoon season June16 to November 14th.

There is an ample array of places to stay from home stays, hotels, guest houses, bungalows and even camping. Your experience is what you make it. Do your part in keeping these reserves alive.
