Accommodation Options
Vanghat, Jim Corbett NP
One of the most remote wildlife lodges in Northern Indian forests, Vanghat is an internationally-acclaimed eco-lodge located on a secluded bank of the Western Ramganga River deep inside the Kalagarh Tiger Reserve division of the Corbett Tiger Reserve. Truly focused on sustainability and its eco-friendly offerings, Vanghat’s low carbon footprint combined with excellent hospitality makes it the ideal place from which to explore the area. Vanghat has been designed to effortlessly blend with the surrounding nature, with respect to the rich wildlife and birdlife that is resident here. Accommodation is provided in 4 mud & thatch cottages and 5 stone cottages, each of which can accommodate up to 3 guests and which feature a veranda and an ensuite bathroom. The lodge’s restaurant and dining area provides predominantly locally-sourced meals by candlelight, whilst the Chaupal also doubles up as a bird and wildlife hide. The Watchtower is an excellent spot from which to observe the surrounding wildlife, and activities on offer (which are all non-motorised) include walking safaris, angling and birding.
