Planning a weekend getaway in northern India? Jim Corbett National Park, located in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, is one of the most famous and oldest national parks in India. Established in 1936, it was originally named Hailey National Park and was later renamed in honor of the renowned British hunter-turned-conservationist, Jim Corbett, who played a crucial role in the park's creation and in the conservation of the Bengal tiger.
