Apart
from a hundred and seventy six mango trees, you can see at the Hideaway a bountiful
jackfruit tree near the reception, variegated bamboo including sacaram, bushes
of hibiscus, rainflower, gandharaja, ticoma, raat ki rani and haemilia, azalea
aplenty, and guava trees which yield fruit three times a year!
The grounds are meant for meandering, loitering, meditating and playing...
A tennis court on the sprawling lawns gives way to the swimming
pool with its languid blue waters, very therapeutic after a rigorous safari.
The poolside bar lets you beer as you float. Even greater
relaxation techniques are available close by - massage therapy by trained
masseurs.
By the time you've worked up a wild appetite, your
sense of smell will lead you to the Gol Ghar, the thatched outdoor
restaurant which lays out magnificent breakfasts, lunches and dinners. (The
nights are generally wilder, with bonfires, entertainment and bonhomie.)
The 20 feet high Gurney House named after the house Jim Corbett
lived in for many years, gives you the civilized world.
Billiards, where potting the red might come easier than capturing a tiger
with a lens. Lounging, on sofas, while dreaming of the big cat.
Dining, rather lavishly, on freshly cooked exotica, continental and Indian
flavours. Or sitting on the deck, and listening to the Kosi. Clinking
glasses filled with amber.
Listening raptly to the slide show of
the Corbett Hideaway Chief Naturalist in the meeting hall. References about
tigers, elephants and birds are available right down the path at the
library, a free and easy place where you can sip a cuppa and browse.
THE NATURE SHOP Charming souvenirs and memorabilia are for the
picking at The Nature Shop which also stocks herbal cosmetics and
fascinating local crafts.

Places of Interest : Nestling in the foothills of the
Himalayas, the Corbett National Park extends over an area of 520.82sq.km.
Varied topography and vegetation gives Corbett a rich diversity in habitats
and natural beauty. Flat valleys are interspersed with hilly ridges and the
Park's rolling grasslands known as the Chaurs provide visitors with an
excellent view of its inhabitants.
The magnificent Ramganga
River flows through the entire length of the Park and little forest streams
tumble through the ravines. While dense stands of sal cloak the higher
ridges, mixed deciduous forests are found throughout the Park and over 110
varieties of trees, 51 species of shrubs and over 33 kinds of bamboos and
grasses are seen here.
Corbett has the highest density of tiger
in the Country - approximately one every 5 sq.km. and it was here that the
prestigious "Project Tiger" was launched in 1973. Four of deer -
hog deer, samber, chital and barking deer and other prey like the wild boar,
support the predator.
Besides the tiger, Corbett is a haven for
50 mammals, 580 kinds of birds and 25 reptile species. The Park has
elephants, the Himalayan black , bear in the higher elevations, sloth bear,
varieties of lesser cats, dhole -the wild dog and an entire spectrum of
colourful birds including water birds, pheasants, jungle fowl and the Indian
hornbill.
Basking along the banks of the Ramganga are the
slender snouted gharial and the mugger or marsh crocodile. The river is rich
in the magnificent mahaseer - a fine sporting fish prized by anglers.
