Day 5:
Jim Corbett, a British who was born and brought up in the
hills of Kumaon, mingled with the locales of the area unlike
other British. Jim Corbett grew up to become an army
personnel to support his family and later was summoned of
and on by the local villagers to kill the man eating tigers and leopards in the
area. Accustomed with the jungles and the animals, Jim Corbett became an
expert of the Jungles. He used all his senses in the jungles that helped him
understand the movements of the animals of the jungles. But although a
perfect hunter, Jim Corbett loved nature and preached the local folks and
tribes about the importance of the conservation of forests and the animals.
There was no other apt name to this first Project Tiger Wild Life sanctuary
other than the Jim Corbett National Park.The best way to view the animals in
the park is to post your self on the elephants or to take a jeep Safari to view
the magnificent creatures in the most beautiful natural environs. Other than
the tiger one can find various species of deer and herds of elephants with
