Classy Hospitality In The Wild

A leisurely holiday or a weekend gateway at The Tiger Groove Corbett – A Jakson Resort can not only help you give a quiet retreat to the splendours of green nature, far away from the tension, deadlines, humdrum and din of city lives where often 24 hours are packed like sardines.

Such a holiday can also excite the city-bred tourists’ wild adventurous streak, as the resort, located 6 km deep inside the forest in the heart of a quaint village named Kyari, has varied wildlife scattered around it.

Jim Corbett National Park is not far from the resort, where one can indulge in jeep and elephant safaris, and if your luck permits, you can even shoot the tiger too with camera, of course. We couldn’t spot any majestic tiger but did capture on camera plenty of other wildlife in our Jeep Safari through the Jim Corbett National Park. Maybe next time…

The property can be accessed through a 20 minute drive from Ramnagar station, which again is only 65 km from Nainital. The drive flanked by jungles with curious herds of deer peeping into our eyes took us to the resort nestled in greenery, in the early hours of dawn. The chirping of unknown birds did further enliven the mood.

I realised it as a place where one can lose oneself to find one’s self, and not only with meditation and yoga.

“Today’s post-modern India has a huge market potential for leisure travel amidst natural surroundings, far from the noise and tensions of city life. This potential induced us to include this property in to our company’s hospitality division’s ambit,” explained Sameer Gupta, the Chairman and Managing Director of Jakson Group when I had an interaction with him after coming back to Delhi.

Just beside the resort flows a seasonal river. The property was leased by Jakson Group on 15th May 2019.
