Corbett
National Park, or in other words, Jim Corbett National Park is the oldest
national park of the country located in the state of Uttarakhand. It was
initially established for the purpose of the protection of the endangered
Bengal tiger species. The park was named after Mr. Jim Corbett who was a
British hunter, tracker, conservationist, naturalist and author and was famous
for hunting man-eating tigers and leopards in India. He authored the popular
novel called ‘Man-eaters of Kumaon’.
