Corbett National Park is a forested wildlife sanctuary in northern India’s Uttarakhand State. Known as “the land of tigers”, this primeval jungle was established as a national park in 1935 to protect its resident tigers and other endangered species, like the leopard, sloth bear and elephant. Since then, more than 200 species of birds have been documented here along with rare plants, fungi and reptiles. Almost 90 percent of this protected forest area has been left undisturbed by the hand of man, which makes Corbett especially unique among India’s national parks.
