TIGER! TIGER!

3 Days Corbett National Park (ex- Delhi)

Corbett Tiger Reserve was established in 1936 as India’s first National Park. With its varied topography, diverse flora and fauna, natural splendor of its landscapes and beautiful location in the foothills of the Himalayas by the Ram Ganga River, the Park is a precious heritage. It may seem incongruous for a National Park in India to be named after the famous British hunter, author and pioneer conservationist Jim Corbett but he was instrumental in setting up the reserve.

Corbett was the first designated Project Tiger Reserve, in 1973. Apart from the tiger, other animals to watch are leopard, wild dog, sloth bear, elephants, wild boar, blue bull and varieties of deer, primates and a range of reptiles. A fine reservoir on the river attracts diverse species of birds, both local and migratory. The Ramganga River is popular with anglers as it is noted for its sporting fish, the mighty Mahaseer.

There are viewing towers as well as jungle rides for visitors every morning and evening. The best season to be here is Mid November to Mid June or April/May. The park remains closed from Mid-June to Mid-November for the monsoon.
