Jim Corbett
City Facts :
Corbett National Park is located in the Nainital District of Uttarakhand and is one of the oldest and most loved wildlife destinations in India. The forest began its journey in 1936, when it was declared Hailey National Park. A few years later, during 1954-55, the name was changed to Ramganga National Park, inspired by the clean and life-giving Ramganga River flowing through the area. In 1955-56, the national park received its final and well-known name - Jim Corbett National Park, honouring the famous British writer, hunter, and later a dedicated wildlife conservationist.
Jim Corbett is widely known for tracking and killing man-eating tigers and leopards that once troubled local villages. However, his story goes beyond hunting. Over time, he became a passionate photographer and a strong voice for wildlife protection, urging people to save India’s animals from extinction.
