Overview
Jim Corbett National Park, established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, is India's oldest national park and the birthplace of Project Tiger in 1973 — the initiative that saved the Bengal tiger from extinction. Spread across 520 sq km of the Kumaon foothills along the Ramganga River, the park has one of the highest tiger densities in India with over 260 tigers in the wider Corbett Tiger Reserve. The park is named after Jim Corbett, the legendary British-Indian hunter-turned-conservationist who killed man-eating tigers and leopards in the Kumaon hills and later advocated passionately for wildlife protection.

The park was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, making it the first national park in Asia. It was renamed Ramganga National Park after independence and finally Jim Corbett National Park in 1956, honouring the hunter-turned-conservationist who had died the year before in Kenya. In 1973, the park was chosen as the launch site for Project Tiger, India's flagship wildlife conservation programme.
