Corbett National Park
Nestling in the foothils of the Himalayas, the tiger reserve extends over
an area of 1200 sq. km. The Ramganga River flows through the park and little
forest streams tumble through the ravines. While dense stands of sal cloak
the higher ridges, mixed deciduous forests are found throughout the park.
"Project Tiger" was launched here in 1973. In addition to tigers,
leopards and elephants, four species of deer - hog deer, sambar, chital
and barking deer - are found here. Besides these, Corbett is a haven for
50 mammals, 580 kinds of birds and 25 reptile species. Basking along the
banks of the Ramganga are the fish-eating gharial and the mugger or marsh
crocodile. The river is rich in the golden mahaseer - although angling is
not permitted inside the National Park.
