Things to see in India: Corbett National Park
Named after the legendary hunter and naturalist, Jim Corbett, this national park lies at the base of the Himalayan foothills. This location, and the resulting rich variety of habitats are the reasons for its good population of mammals.
Rhesus macaque, common langur, golden jackal, wild boar, chital, sambar, muntjac and hog deer are all common and seen regularly, and there is a healthy population of wild Indian elephant. However the park remains most famous for its tigers, which are frequently seen. The birdlife too is exceptional with more than 620 species having been recorded here.
