This jungle lodge, snugly nestled in the Shivalik foothills of the Himalayas in Uttaranchal, is spread out over an undulating 20 acres of hilly and riverine tracts, plateaus and ravines. While it has a great deal to offer in itself, its prime attraction undeniably lies in its location within the Corbett National Park, home to a teeming variety of wildlife, including of course the majestic and endangered tiger, sufficient in numbers here to permit frequent sightings, but also leopard, elephant, wild boar, ghural, sambar, chital, wild dog, porcupines, jackals, civets, sloth bear, black bear, to but name a few! It is also a bird watchers' paradise with over 500 species of birds, including the pied
kingfisher, crested serpent eagle, fishing eagle, Himalayan grey headed fishing eagle...
The gentle Ramganga river that runs through these hills also brings with it the famous river carp Mahseer, a greatly-sought catch for enthusiastic anglers.
The drinking water is sourced from natural springs that abound in this expanse, which also lends itself to myriad activities within the premises of the resort or at easy distances, be it an elephant safari, swimming in the pool or river, playing tennis, jogging or cycling down the trails, rafting down the Ramganga, rock climbing, rappelling, trekking or for the more sedentary, kite flying, a good read in the library or excursions to nearby areas of note. It is of course also equipped with all modern amenities and facilities that go toward a stay of faultless comfort. |
