Corbett Riverside Resort, Corbett

Corbett Riverside Resort Hotel Description

One look at the resort and you will fall in love with its location. It perches right at the edge of the Kosi River, overlooking nothing but the river meandering down a vast expanse of pebbles and steep mountains rising up on the opposite bank. The resort itself has sweeping gardens bathed in green with tall palm trees and winding lanes overflowing with roses. Hammocks hang here and there from trees and chairs are placed strategically overlooking the vista of the river and the hills. The cluttered reception, housed in a small room with a few couches, can be a turn off but persist, explore the resort and you won't be disappointed with this 18 year old resort.

Rooms
There are 36 air conditioned rooms at the resort in the categories of Double Bedroom, Deluxe Suite, River Front room and River View room. While all the rooms at the resort are refreshingly large and have similar amenities comprising telephone, tea/coffee maker, cushy couches, a mirror with a sofa chair and an ornamental fireplace, they differ from each other in size and location. The Double Bedrooms are located as you approach the gardens from the reception and the Deluxe Suite is a bit further away. To reach the River Front Room, however, you have to traverse the gardens and climb up the porch with a sit-out that leads into the very large rooms. All-glass windows adorn the walls facing each other, the back looking out to the beautiful gardens and the front facing the mighty vista of the river and the mountains. Move further on and you will reach the River Front Rooms, perched right at the edge of the river. Stand on the porch outside the rooms and look down, voila - the river! It's needless to reiterate how beautiful the view is.

Dining
The resort's restaurant has all glass walls to take optimum advantage of the surrounding view. You can eat your meal inside staring at the river twist out of sight or choose to dine outside, soothing white noise accompanying your meal. The staff willingly lay your table in garden as well. The cuisine served is primarily Indian (read Mughlai) and a variety of snacks are on offer too. There is a buffet spread for breakfast and dinner.

Hotel Facilities
The resort can arrange for your jungle safari, whether on a jeep or elephant back. The resort's swimming pool lies nestled within the garden, surrounded by greenery. The conference room can accommodate 70-80 guests and the restaurant has a capacity of 100. There is a TV room with khaki couches adjacent to the restaurant. On the other side, there is a party area with contemporary bar stools, disco lights and music system. The resort arranges for a DJ on request and also organises cultural dances here. Guests can enjoy a game of table tennis in the conference room when it is not being used, while there is also a pool table in the restaurant area, the services of which are to be paid for. Other games include badminton and volleyball. The resort also organises adventure activities such as river rafting (during the monsoon), river crossing, river rappelling as well as elephant rides, horse riding, trekking. During winters the resort organises bonfire nights. Other facilities include car rental, car parking and a doctor on call.
