About Corbett
National Park
Corbett has aptly been described as
the land of the Roar, Trumpet and Song. It represents a
scene of remarkable beauty.
Corbett had the proud distinction of being the chosen
venue for the inauguration of Project Tiger in India. The
rich bio-diversity of the Reserve is partly attributed to
the variety of habitat found here. Due to the location of
the Reserve in the foothills of the Central Himalayas,
both Himalayan and peninsular flora and fauna is found in
the Reserve.
The grasslands, locally known as Chaurs, are limited. The
largest grasslamnd is the Dhikala Chaur. Some of the best
grasslands including the famous Buxor Chaur and the Beri
Chaur were submerged in the Ramganga reservoir in 1974.
The areas made available as a result of the relocation of
the villages, Dhara, Jhirna and Kothirau in 1994 are being
developed into grasslands through habitat management.
The Ramganga reservoir, which came into being in 1974,
stretches over an area of around 82 sq.km. with one half
each in Corbett National Park and Sonanadi Wildlife
Sanctuary respectively. The Ramganga riger is the lifeline
of Corbett Tiger Reserve. Its principal tributaries are
the Mandal, Palain and Sonanadi. Numerous mountainous
streams locally called Sots flow into these rivers. The
nallas and ravines are thickly covered with evergreen
glades along them, which provide undisturbed cover and
water for tiger. Part of the catchment of the Kosi river
falls within the Reserve though the river is outside the
Reserve.
Corbett is very rich in avifauna. Zoological Survey of
India has recorded over 585 species of resident and
migratory birds here. Corbett falls in the newly
constituted state of Uttaranchal, curved out of former
Utter Pradesh State in 2000.
