India's first national park was established in
1936 as Hailey National Park, now known
as Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand.
16. Jim Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India and was established in 1936 as Hailey National
Park to protect the endangered Bengal tiger. It is located in Nainital district of Uttarakhand and was named
after Jim Corbett who played a key role in its establishment. The park was the first to come under the Project
Tiger initiative
The park has sub-Himalayan belt geographical and ecological characteristics. An ecotourism destination, it
contains 488 different species of plants and a diverse variety of fauna.The increase in tourist activities, among
other problems, continues to present a serious challenge to the park's ecological balance.

Corbett National Park comprises 520.8 km2 (201.1 sq mi) area of hills, riverine belts, marshy depressions,
grasslands and a large lake. The elevation ranges from 1,300 to 4,000 ft (400 to 1,220 m). Winter nights are
cold but the days are bright and sunny. It rains from July to September.
Dense moist deciduous forest mainly consists of sal, haldu, peepal, rohini and mango trees. Forest covers
almost 73% of the park, 10% of the area consists of grasslands. It houses around 110 tree species, 50 species of
mammals, 580 bird species and 25 reptile species.
21. Kasur Brahmananda Reddy National Park , is a national park located in Jubilee Hills in
Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The park has an approximate area of 390-acre (1.6 km2).
The park also houses the famous Chiran Palace, a 24-acre (0.097 km2) palace complex.
It is located centrally in Jubilee Hills and is described as a jungle amidst the concrete
jungle.it has many peacocks
The entire palace complex area was declared as a National park by the Andhra
Pradesh state government after getting permission from the central government in
the year 1998. This gave control of major part of the land to the forest department
and the Nizam was left with the control of only about 11 acres. As the time passed the
control of the Nizam was further reduced to the present less than six acre. Further the
park was renamed to Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park with only the palace
building being referred to as Chiran palace.
In June 2010 the Prince and his representatives reached an agreement with the state
government to exchange Chiran Palace and 16 other pieces of his property scattered
over the national park with six acres of land on the north-west corner of the park. This
land would not be considered the part of the National park and thus will not provide
access to forest officials and visitors to the park. All the properties on the land,
including the Chiran palace would be notified as part of the national park and the land
to be handed out to the prince was struck out of the park.
This agreement received the approval of The Indian Board of Wildlife, Supreme Court
and the central government
