Spread over an area of 13 acres the Corbett Hideaway is
concealed in the thick of a mango grove, where in season, the
mangoes hang ripe and luscious right against the door. Exotic
mixed shrubbery, alive with flowers, is crossed by pebbled paths
leading to charming cottages with open sit outs. The wonderful
stillness is broken only by the sound of the Kosi River and
myriad birds.
Apart from the hundred and seventy six mango trees that one can
count at the Hideaway, a bountiful jackfruit tree near the
reception, variegated bamboo sincluding sacaram, bushes of
hibiscus, rainflower, gandharaja, ticoma, raat ki rani and
haemilia, azalea aplenty, guava trees which yield fruit three
times a year are some of the resorts inhabitants!
What we recommend to guests whilst on their stay at Corbett
Hideaway:-
Outdoors
-
The
grounds are meant for meandering, loitering, meditating and
playing.
-
The
sprawling lawn 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 Jim's Grill House, the thatched outdoor
restaurant which lays out magnificent breakfasts, lunches and
dinners. (The nights are generally wilder, with bonfires,
entertainment and bonhomie.
Indoors
-
The 20 feet high Gurney House named after the house Jim
Corbett lived in for many years, gives you the civilized world.
-
Billiards, potting the red might come easier than capturing a
tiger with a lens.
-
Lounge on sofas, while dreaming of the big cat.
-
Dine rather lavishly, on freshly cooked exotica, continental
and Indian flavours. Or sit on the deck and listen to the Kosi
while clinking glasses filled with amber.
-
Listen raptly to the slide show of the 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.
