Services & Facilities : Apart from a
hundred and seventy six mango trees, you can see at the Hideaway a bountiful
jackfruit tree near the reception, variegated bamboo including sacaram,
bushes of hibiscus, rainflower, gandharaja, ticoma, raat ki rani and
haemilia, azalea aplenty, and guava trees which yield fruit three times a
year!
The grounds are meant for meandering, loitering, meditating
and playing...
A tennis court on the sprawling lawns gives way to
the swimming pool with its languid blue waters, very therapeutic after a
rigorous safari.
The poolside bar lets you beer as you float. Even
greater relaxation techniques are available close by - massage therapy by
trained masseurs.
By the time you've worked up a wild appetite,
your sense of smell will lead you to the Gol Ghar, the thatched outdoor
restaurant which lays out magnificent breakfasts, lunches and dinners. (The
nights are generally wilder, with bonfires, entertainment and bonhomie.)
The
20 feet high Gurney House named after the house Jim Corbett lived in for
many years, gives you the civilized world.
Billiards, where
potting the red might come easier than capturing a tiger with a lens.
Lounging, on sofas, while dreaming of the big cat.
Dining, rather
lavishly, on freshly cooked exotica, continental and Indian flavours. Or
sitting on the deck, and listening to the Kosi. Clinking glasses filled with
amber.
Listening raptly to the slide show of the Corbett Hideaway
Chief Naturalist in the meeting hall. References about tigers, elephants and
birds are available right down the path at the library, a free and easy
place where you can sip a cuppa and browse.
THE NATURE SHOP
Charming souvenirs and memorabilia are for the picking at The Nature
Shop which also stocks herbal cosmetics and fascinating local crafts.

Places of Interest :
Nestling in the foothills of the Himalayas, the Corbett National Park
extends over an area of 520.82sq.km. Varied topography and vegetation gives
Corbett a rich diversity in habitats and natural beauty. Flat valleys are
interspersed with hilly ridges and the Park's rolling grasslands known as
the Chaurs provide visitors with an excellent view of its inhabitants.
The
magnificent Ramganga River flows through the entire length of the Park and
little forest streams tumble through the ravines. While dense stands of sal
cloak the higher ridges, mixed deciduous forests are found throughout the
Park and over 110 varieties of trees, 51 species of shrubs and over 33 kinds
of bamboos and grasses are seen here.
Corbett has the highest
density of tiger in the Country - approximately one every 5 sq.km. and it
was here that the prestigious "Project Tiger" was launched in
1973. Four of deer - hog deer, samber, chital and barking deer and other
prey like the wild boar, support the predator.
Besides the tiger,
Corbett is a haven for 50 mammals, 580 kinds of birds and 25 reptile
species. The Park has elephants, the Himalayan black , bear in the higher
elevations, sloth bear, varieties of lesser cats, dhole -the wild dog and an
entire spectrum of colourful birds including water birds, pheasants, jungle
fowl and the Indian hornbill.
Basking along the banks of the
Ramganga are the slender snouted gharial and the mugger or marsh crocodile.
The river is rich in the magnificent mahaseer - a fine sporting fish prized
by anglers.
