Jim Corbett National Park

India's First National Park — Home to the Bengal Tiger

Jim Corbett National Park, in the Nainital and Pauri Garhwal districts, is India's oldest national park and a stronghold for the Bengal tiger. The landscape ranges from dense sal and mixed forest to grasslands and riverine belts along the Ramganga.

Safaris are conducted in designated zones (Dhikala, Bijrani, Jhirna, and others); booking opens well in advance. Besides tigers, you can spot elephants, leopards, sloth bears, and hundreds of bird species. Stay inside the park or in resorts around Ramnagar for a complete wildlife experience.
