The National Park : Corbett was the first National Park to be incorporated in the Project Tiger scheme, in 1973. Today Corbett National Park and Tiger Reserve sprawls over an area of 1318 square kilometers (510 square miles) of undulating Sal (Shorea robusta) forest between the districts of Nainital and Pauri Garhwal in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India. In October 1991, a buffer zone was added to the park's area, consisting of just over 300 square kilometers (117 square miles). The additional expanses of natural land used to form part of the Klagarh Forest Division, the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary (part of the Ramanagarh Forest Division). The newly created park with its adjoining verdant acres today make up the sole surviving jungles of the Garhwal Himalaya.
