Welcome to India's first ever National Park, the Corbett National Park! Located in Uttar Pradesh and covering an area of 520 square kilometers, it is also a Tiger Reserve Project.
Initially called the Hailey National Park, it was established in 1936 on the advice of the hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett. Of course, the star attraction of the park is the tiger.
