Location & Access

Corbett National Park is one of the greatest national parks in Asia with over 1300 sq kms of forests, hills and grasslands, fed by a frisky river. Its proximity to Delhi and prolific wildlife makes Corbett Park one of the major tourist destinations in India. Situated in the heart of a thick forest, this amazing abode of nature stands witness to the rich, rare and precious wildlife biodiversity of India. The Corbett National Park forms the perfect habitat of the tiger, elephant, hog deer and many other species.

The elevation of the Jim Corbett Park ranges between 400mts to 1210 mts. The geographical area of the Park covers different types of vegetation along its varied topography which comprise hilly and riparian areas, temporary marshy depressions, plateaus and ravines. The southwestern fringe of the park, marked by the hydel dam of Kalagarh and the beautiful lake inside, has remarkably enhanced the scenic beauty of the place. Many species of water birds, both migrant and non-migrant, frequent its waters. Tourists can also enjoy watching the crocodiles and the long snouted fish-eating gharial sun basking on the sand banks. Besides, the Ramganga River carries fattened Mahseer within its fold, much to the angler’s delight!
