LODGES

CAMP CORBETT
Established in 1987, Camp Corbett is a small family-run lodge, situated in a superb location at the base of the Himalayan foothills, 25km east of Corbett Tiger Reserve. The lodge offers comfortable accommodation in 15 deluxe cottages. All cottages are twin occupancy and have western-style bathrooms. The camp is owned by the Anand family, who are experienced naturalists and very hospitable hosts. You will be made most welcome here!

The surrounding mixed forests are rich in wildlife and are a paradise for the naturalist, birdwatcher, and for exploring the special atmosphere of the Indian jungle on foot.

A jungle walk will frequently reveal pug marks of tiger and leopard, as well as sightings of their prey species. Elephants pass through the Camp grounds on their way to drink at the river Boar.

The wide variety of habitats is also home to a vast population of birds. Our bird list comprises 320 species, including Large Hornbills, 5 species of Kingfisher, and numerous birds of prey. Many of these species can be seen inside the Camp grounds. Contact us for a bird list.

The nearby village of Kaladhungi was the home of pioneer conservationist, shikhari, and author Jim Corbett. We can show you the places where Jim learnt his jungle craft and where he had some of his best-known exploits with tigers and leopards.

MOUNTAIN QUAIL CAMP
Mountain Quail Camp is our other associated lodge, and is located at an altitude of 1970m (6500ft) on a ridge at Pangot, 10km west of Naini Tal and 1.5 hours drive from Camp Corbett. The Camp is surrounded by extensive oak and rhododendron forests, the home of Leopard, Black Bear, Pine Marten, Ghoral, and a diverse bird population, which includes Lammergeier, Griffon Vulture and Golden Eagle.

Accommodation is in cottage rooms, or in deluxe tents, all with attached western-style bathrooms. Mountain Quail is owned by Siddharth Anand, who also leads many of our specialised itineraries. Siddharth speaks fluent English, and has many years experience guiding groups in Kumaon, Garhwal, Ladakh and Nepal.

There are many trails in the surrounding forests and mountains, suitable for one-day or longer walks and pony treks. The 10th century temple complex at Jageshwar, with its stunning views of Nanda Devi and other Himalayan peaks, can easily be reached from here.
