Jim Corbett National Park — India's first national park — protects sal forest and grassland along the Ramganga river in Uttarakhand's Terai foothills.

Corbett is a Project Tiger reserve where elephants, tigers, and gharials inhabit riverine and forest corridors at the Himalayan foothills.

Terai forest transitions from Himalayan foothills to Gangetic plain — sal trees, grasslands, and the Ramganga river define the landscape.

Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, gharial, sloth bear, and leopard are documented within the park's zones.

Zone-based safari vehicle quotas and Project Tiger anti-poaching patrols operate across the reserve.
