Jim Corbett National Park, with its stunning wildlife and landscapes, has long captured the imaginations of many. In 1936, the natural uniqueness of the area was recognized and Corbett became the first national park established in mainland Asia. Covering 521 square kilometres in the hill state of Uttarakhand in northern India, Jim Corbett National Park lies in two districts - Nainital and Pauri. Together with the neighbouring Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary and Reserve Forest areas, it forms the Corbett Tiger Reserve spanning 1288 square kilometres.

This variety supports numerous plant and animal species, representing both Himalayan and plains kinds. The most famous residents are the Bengal Tiger and the Asiatic Elephant, but with about 600 species of avifauna, Corbett is also one of the richest bird regions in India.
