Located in the foothills of Himalaya in the closest proximity of Ramnagar an small town. Corbett National Park(the First National Park of India) was established in 1936, as The Hailey National Park(named in the honor of Sir Malcolm Hailey, the governor of united provinces).

Corbett is India's forst national park and the first sanctuary to come under Project Tiger in 1973 with the help of World Wildlife Fund.Corbett Tiger Reserve today holds probably the second largest population of free living tigers in the world. The reserve is thus one of the last remaining strong holds, which holds a potentially viable population of this majestic and critically endangered felid. Nearly 600 Asian elephants ( Elephas maximums) also have a home in this tiger reserve, and can be seen wondering leisurely along its length and breadth. CTR, along with the Rajaji National Park also represents the North-western most limits of Tiger and Elephant Distribution in the Indian subcontinent.The area is also home of about 600 species of resident and migratory birds. This amazingly rich avifaunal diversity represents nearly 6% of the total birds species represented in the world and is more then the total bird diversity of Europe.
