This stunning park encompasses 754 square miles of bamboo forests, meadows and ravines that provide shelter to a range of wonderful wildlife including the tiger, leopard and sloth bear.

Corbett National Park became India's first national park in 1936 and is named after the hunter turned conservationist Jim Corbett.

For travel during the monsoon season (July-September) it is advisable to pack an umbrella or waterproofs.
Travellers should dress conservatively whilst visiting religious places and always remove their shoes before entering temples and mosques.
Visitors are often required to cover their heads and women should cover their shoulders and wear skirts and trousers that fall below the knees.
