Jim Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India and was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park to protect the endangered Bengal tiger.
Corbett’s home at Kaladungi, around 39 kilometers on Nainital road is now a museum that houses memorabilia of the legendry Jim Corbett. En-route are Corbett falls, which is an ideal place for day picnics.
Nainital is just around two hours away and can be looked as a day trip. Boating options are available in Naini Lake and the mall is an ideal place to take a stroll and shop.
The area around the resort is the nature lover’s ultimate reward – wild and dense, the forest starts right from the outside. The natural and the man-made trails will take you as deep inside as you may dare to go.
Around 5 kilometers is a huge rock perching out of Kosi riverbed and on the pinnacle is the beautiful temple of Durga Devi named as Garjia. A place good for bathing, basking and worship has an enchanting view of river Kosi from the top. Little ahead is Dhangadi museum which exhibits wonderful animal taxidermy including that of tigers.
