Jim Corbett National Park Tour

Face to Face with the Tigers of Kumaon

The region infamous for the man-eaters of Kumaon in the early 20th century was later converted to a haven for the Royal Bengal Tigers that roamed the foothills of Shivaliks. The first national park in India and the origin of Project Tiger in the country, Jim Corbett National Park is home to the Royal Bengal Tiger in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand.

The park, located in Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, was set up in 1936 and was later dedicated to Jim Corbett, a renowned hunter–turned- conservationist. Book your wildlife tour package and come along for an adventure to the jungles of Kumaon.
