Jim Corbett National Park is perhaps the oldest and most famous wildlife park in India. It is located in the Uttarakhand state of the country and it covers an area of 521 km2 (201 square miles). The park was established way back in 1936, primarily to assure protection to the endangered Bengal tigers. Since its establishment, Corbett played a significant role in conserving Tigers by providing them with enough prey bases such as deer and other animals.
