Story behind the Corbett National Park
Colonel Jim Corbett was born at Nainital in 1875,
the eighth child of Christopher and Mary Jane
Corbett. His father was the postmaster of Nainital.
He did his matriculation at Nainital’s Philanders
Smith College where he was admired by his masters
for his modesty and retiring nature. He did not
pursue his academics any further.
He spent his summers at Gurni House in Nainital
while in winters he went down to Kaladhungi in the
tarai jungles. It was here he was taught how to fire
a gun by his eldest brother, to. Their bungalow in
Kaladhungi was inside a dense forest in which a
large variety of plants and animals found refuge.
The abundance of wildlife in Nainital those days can
be gauged from the fact that Jim spotted tigers and
leopards within a six and a half-kilometer radius of
the temple of the goddess Naini. As a result of
living in such exotic and beautiful surroundings he
developed a spontaneous affinity with nature.
