Explore the "highway" of elephants! Discover Jim Corbett National Park in India
Today, let's take a virtual tour of the stunning Jim Corbett National Park in India, a paradise for elephants! 🐘
The park is nestled at the foot of the Himalayas, neighboring Nainital. It was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, and later renamed in honor of the renowned conservationist Jim Corbett.
The park experiences temperature variations from 4°C to 42°C and is located about 297 km from New Delhi. It is India's first national park, home to 100 majestic wild Bengal tigers across 520 square kilometers, truly a "tiger kingdom"!
But today, we're focusing on elephants! In summer, the park becomes an animal paradise, with hundreds of Indian elephants roaming around, using rivers as their "highways." They leisurely stroll, drink, bathe, and play, enjoying life to the fullest.
Jim Corbett was once a hunter, but witnessing the decline in tiger numbers, he turned to conservation, writing books and making documentaries to protect animals. The park now features a memorial and museum dedicated to him, with tiger specimens reminding visitors of the urgent need for animal protection.
Jim Corbett National Park is one of the "treasure reserves" of the Terai Arc Landscape Project, a meaningful initiative to protect rare animals like tigers, Asian elephants, and Indian rhinoceroses. We hope everyone gets a chance to visit and experience the wonders of nature, joining in the effort to protect these adorable animals.
