The Nainital district of the Indian state of Uttarakhand is home to Jim Corbett National Park. As the country's first national park, it was created in 1936 during the British Raj and given the name Hailey National Park in honor of William Malcolm Hailey, the United Provinces' governor at the time.
It was renamed Corbett National Park in 1956, over ten years after India gained independence, in honor of the hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett, who had been instrumental in its founding and had passed away the year before. The Project Tiger initiative's original location was the park.
The 520.8 km2 (201.1 sq mi) expanse of hills, riverine belts, marshy depressions, grasslands, and a sizable lake make up Corbett National Park. From 1,300 to 4,000 feet above sea level (400 to 1,220 m). While the days are bright and beautiful in winter, the evenings are chilly. From July to September, it rains.
The Corbett National Park exhibits geological and ecological aspects of the sub-Himalayan belt. [3] Sal, haldu, peepal, Rohini, and mango trees make up the majority of the dense damp deciduous forest. Nearly 73% of the park is covered in forest, and 10% is made up of meadows. It is home to 25 reptile species, 110 tree species, 50 animal species, and 580 bird species.
