A primal jungle, as Rudyard Kipling puts it, Corbett National Park is a part of the Nainital and Pauri Garhwal districts in the state of Uttaranchal. The park has managed to retain its primeval ambiance, where man must walk timorously, in awe and with a strong sense of his own insignificance. This is a no mean an achievement with the increasing number of tourists visiting the park. Corbett is the first national park of India and was first delimited in consultation with Jim Corbett, the great hunter and wildlife conserver. The park has grown considerably in its 64 years of eventful history. The park has three well-defined seasons-winters from November to February, summers from March to June, and rain rest of the year. The park is closed for the visitors between June 15 to November 15 every year and you should plan your visit accordingly.

Sightseeing
Situated on the foothills of the Himalayas, Corbett national Park has a beauty that is shown not only by its wildlife but also in its floral heritage. Moving around in the jungle on the back of a pachyderm or in a jeep or just walking around to appreciate the nature, you would come across a wealth of natural splendour in the forms of flora and fauna. Sighting a wild cat, even more than once a day, is not an unusual phenomenon here. Even though you may not be able to sight one, there is plenty for you to make your day.
