Corbett Tiger Reserve

Uttarakhand

Committed to responsible tourism with the active involvement of the local community, Jim’s Jungle Retreat offers its guests an exciting, educative and uplifting experience in the buffer forests of Corbett Tiger Reserve.

Relish without guilt the farm-to-table produce transformed into delicacies using secret recipes of the Raj, hidden grains and pulses from the mountains of Kumaon, and country-style world cuisine. Over 30 years of birding and tracking experience in the Corbett jungles, cur...ated wildlife activities, and warm Kumaoni hospitality come together to produce an unmatched wilderness experience.
