About Jim Corbett Wildlife Tour

Jim Corbett is the oldest national park in India.  Formerly known as Hailey National Park and was established in 1936. The park is named after poacher turned naturalist Mr.Jim Corbett who played a major role in establishing this park.  This was the first park to come under Project Tiger Initiative. The park spans the western Himalayas’ foothills in the districts of Nainital and Pauri Garhwal in the state of Uttaranchal.

The park was initially the private property of local rulers. In the year 1858 Major Ramsay sketched up the first brief conservation plan to protect the forest. Then this park was chosen as the inaugural site for Project Tiger. The total area of the park is 1318.54 sq km with a core area of 520.82 sq. km and a buffer area of 797.72 sq. km. The park is closed during monsoons. And the peak period to visit the park is from 15th  November to 15th June every year.
