Located in the foothills of the Himalayas is the majestic
Corbett National Park. Home to a variety of flora and fauna, Jim
Corbett National Park is famous for its wild population of
Tigers, Leopards and Elephants.
Jim Corbett National Park has a strong historical background,
which can be traced from the early 1800 when its forest were
private property of the rulers of the Terhi Garhwal.
Around the 1820's this part of the state was parted to the
British Rulers in return of the assistance provided during the
Gurkha invasion. The British exploited the timber potential of
Corbett National Park forest and mercilessly felled the forests
and plant 'TEAK' a precious hardwood, to fulfill the supply for
Railway sleepers.
In 1858 the first step towards protection of Corbett National
Park forest was initiated by Major Ramseyin form of a
comprehensive plan, wherein farming and cattle intrusion were
banned in the lower Patlidun valley. The Forest Department took
control of the area and declared it as Reserve forest in 1879
under the forest act.
