Our Story

Born from a Love for the Jungle

It all started with a single jeep safari and a pair of curious eyes. A team of lifelong naturalists from Ramnagar founded Jim Corbett Online Safari with one clear mission — to offer responsible, immersive wildlife experiences that leave a lasting impression.

What began as a small operation has grown into one of Corbett's most trusted safari booking platforms. Over the years, we've guided thousands of families, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts through the dense sal forests and riverbeds of this iconic national park.

"The forest does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. We take the same approach — every safari, unhurried, authentic, unforgettable."

— Jim Corbett Online Safari Team

We are not just a booking service. We are storytellers, conservationists, and passionate advocates for the wildlife that calls Corbett home. Every booking directly supports local naturalists and forest community members.

A Legacy Through Time

History of Jim Corbett National Park

From its colonial-era origins to becoming the cradle of India's tiger conservation, the park's journey is as storied as the jungles it protects.

1936

Established as Hailey National Park

India's very first national park was established in 1936 in the foothills of the Himalayas, named Hailey National Park after Sir Malcolm Hailey, the then Governor of the United Provinces. It was created to protect the rapidly declining Bengal tiger and the rich biodiversity of the Ramganga basin.

1954 – 55

Renamed Ramganga National Park

Following Indian independence, the park was briefly renamed Ramganga National Park — after the Ramganga River that flows through its heart. This transitional name reflected the new nation's desire to honour indigenous geography over colonial figures.

1957

Renamed Jim Corbett National Park

The park was finally and permanently renamed Jim Corbett National Park in honour of Edward James "Jim" Corbett — the legendary hunter-turned-conservationist who championed the cause of wildlife protection in India. Corbett's tireless advocacy was instrumental in the park's very creation.

Birthplace of Project Tiger

Jim Corbett National Park holds the proud distinction of being the site where Project Tiger was officially launched on 1 April 1973 by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This landmark initiative transformed India's approach to tiger conservation and became a global model for endangered species protection.
