Corbett Tiger Reserve
This famous reserve was established in 1936 as India’s first national park. Originally called Hailey National Park, then Ramganga National Park, it was renamed in 1957 after legendary tiger hunter Jim Corbett (1875–1955), who put Kumaon on the map with his book The Man-Eaters of Kumaon. The British hunter was greatly revered by local people for shooting tigers that had developed a taste for human flesh, but he eventually shot more wildlife with his camera than with his gun.

Govind Restaurant
Although a bit gloomy inside, the food is good and the menu huge with monster thalis, biryani, chicken tikka, tasty stuffed tomatoes and mushroom curry. There’s a pastry and sweet shop at the front.
