Established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, Jim Corbett National Park is India's oldest national park and one of the most prestigious wildlife conservation areas in the world. Located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand, the park is named after the legendary hunter-turned-conservationist Jim Corbett, who played a key role in its establishment. Spread across 520 square kilometers of hills, riverine belts, grasslands, and dense forests, Corbett is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and nature lovers.
The park is most famous for its population of Royal Bengal Tigers, making it a premier destination for tiger sightings as part of Project Tiger. However, Corbett is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including Asian elephants, leopards, sloth bears, jackals, deer species (spotted deer, sambar, barking deer), wild boars, langurs, and the rare Himalayan goral. The park's rivers, especially the Ramganga River, are teeming with mugger crocodiles and gharials.
Jim Corbett is also a bird watcher's paradise, with over 600 species of resident and migratory birds recorded. Commonly spotted birds include great pied hornbills, crested serpent eagles, Himalayan griffons, kingfishers, barbets, woodpeckers, and the endangered Bengal florican.
The park is divided into several safari zones, each offering a unique experience. Dhikala Zone is the largest and most famous, known for its vast grasslands, scenic landscapes, and high probability of tiger sightings. Bijrani Zone offers a mix of dense forests and open grasslands, with good chances of spotting tigers, elephants, and deer. Jhirna Zone is open throughout the year and is known for sloth bear and wild boar sightings. Dhela Zone is a newer zone, rich in birdlife and home to elephants and tigers. Durga Devi Zone is ideal for bird watching and has a beautiful riverside landscape. Pakharu Zone is known for its rocky terrain and scenic beauty.
Safaris are conducted in open jeeps (4x4 vehicles) and canter buses, accompanied by an experienced naturalist or guide. Morning and evening safaris are the best times for wildlife sightings, as animals are most active during these hours. Elephant safaris are also available in select zones (subject to park regulations and availability), offering a unique way to explore the park's interior.
Dhikala Forest Lodge, located deep inside the park, offers a one-of-a-kind experience of staying amidst the jungle with excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing right from the lodge. Other accommodation options include forest rest houses in different zones, as well as luxury resorts and budget hotels in the nearby town of Ramnagar.
The park remains closed during the monsoon season (July to mid-October) due to heavy rains and waterlogging. The best time to visit is from November to June. November to February offers pleasant weather and is great for bird watching. March to June is the peak summer season, when animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. Visiting during summer also increases the chances of tiger sightings.
