| HISTORY: | Top |
The Corbett National Park, within which lies the Corbett Ramganga
Resort, was established in 1936 as the Hailey National Park. The establishment
of this reserve forest was in main due to the efforts of Jim Corbett, after whom
the park was subsequently named. This park was also the first to be designated
as a Project Tiger Reserve in 1973 and is one of the few to still be able to
boast of frequent tiger sightings. Jim Corbett was a colourful character, the
stuff of folklore and legend even within his lifetime, but finally an active and
committed conservationist. Having spent his childhood in the Kaladhugi area
between Ramnagar and Nainital, his familiarity with the forests and wildlife led
to him being a popular choice to seek and shoot man-hunting leopards and tigers
that strayed into and threatened the villagers in the region. "Carpet Sahib", as
he was locally known, later turned these very talents that made him a sought-out
hunter to the task of conservation and turned his hand to photography and
writing instead, with books like "My India", "Jungle Lore" and "Man-eaters of
Kumaon" to his credit.
The Corbett National Park stretches over 520 sq km with a core area of
330 sq km. Its mixed deciduous and sal forests and savannah grasslands are home
to a variety and number of protected wildlife including leopard, elephant, wild
boar, ghural, sambar, chital, wild dog, porcupines, jackals, civets, sloth bear,
black bear. On the muddy banks of the Ramganga can also be seen the long-snouted
gharial, marsh crocodile, cobras and pythons. And there are over 500 species of
birds in the Ramganga reservoir, in the main Dhikala camp area of the park.
