Jim’s Jungle Retreat is a wonderful lodge located on the southern periphery of Corbett Tiger Reserve, one of India’s premiere wildlife destinations, perched between the Himalayan foothills and the Shivalik Hills. The property offers 18 simple but sophisticated lodges and cottages that are spread through 15 acres of private land. The Jungle Cottages emulate the style and atmosphere of local houses built by the Gujjar community, whereas the Jungle Lodge soars 15 feet into the air to provide spectacular views of the surrounding hills. There’s also a Family Cottage with an additional bedroom designed for children. Not only is Jim’s Jungle Lodge the perfect base from which to explore Corbett, but it’s also an ideal place for a lazy afternoon. Choose from the crisp pool or the Ayurvedic spa to truly unwind after an exciting game drive. You’ll also find a great in-house restaurant, research rooms, a characterful mud and thatch lounge and a boutique selling locally sourced and ethical products.
