About Corbett Museum

Corbett Museum is a heritage memorial museum located at Kaladhungi, about 32 kilometers from Ramnagar. Housed inside the stone bungalow that once served as the winter home of legendary hunter naturalist, author, and conservationist Edward James Jim Corbett, this landmark preserves the pioneer's extraordinary life story.

Corbett lived here with his sister Maggie, dedicating his later years to protecting local villagers from man eating tigers and advocating for India's first national park. Following his departure to Kenya in 1947, the heritage property was conserved and converted into a public museum by the state forest department.
