EXCURSIONS AND ACTIVITIES IN CORBETT NATIONAL PARK:
The Safari is the main stay of the Corbett experience but
there are many other attractions around the place - the
Sitabani Ashram in the virgin forest area, the Corbett
Museum which houses memorabilia of the legendary Jim
Corbett, the Garjia temple by the river, the Kaladungi
falls and many more.
Longer drives would get you to the Lake District of
Nainital and Or Queen of hills like Ranikhet, Almora and
Kausani. Nainital is just an hour and half away from
Retreat and can be looked as a day trip. Ranikhet with its
awesome views of the snow capped Himalayas is three hours
away. No where else would one get to experience the
mysterious Forest, the tranquil lakes and the majestic
Himalayas in one vacation - all just a couple of hours
away.
ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES IN CORBETT NATIONAL PARK:
River Rafting : River rafting trips run through some of
the most beautiful terrains that the Himalayas have to
offer - from sandy white beaches, boulder-studded rapids,
confluences of rivers, deep gorges and some of the most
revered Indian temple towns. Whitewater rafting is a sport
almost everyone, of any age, can enjoy. With expert guides
and up-to-date equipment, it's quick and easy to learn the
few rules that keep you safe, river-smart and ready for a
"wild ride" of your own.
Angling : The Angling Experience is not about someone
sitting by your shoulder telling you what to do. It is ALL
to do with a very enjoyable weekend of fishing, shared
with new and old friends on Ramganga River.
Back Packing : The scale of the Himalayas makes them the
ultimate backpacking destination in the world. Nowhere
else is such exalted beauty matched with such overwhelming
remoteness.
Mountain Biking : Mountain Biking is not about being easy.
The head is the strength of a biker. A biker with good
head and weak legs has a better chance to win than the
opposite. A good head is often question of concentration,
and when you are concentrated you don't feel pain so much.
Here bicycles are outsource ( subject to availability) and
an accompanying guide takes you through the forest trail
and the village trail in the Sitavani reserve forest area.
Parasailing : Parasailing is a popular sport in which the
rider hitched to a parachute like canopy, known as a
Parasail, is set aloft in the air. The Parasail is
attached to a long towrope, which is pulled along, by a
speeding form of transportation.
Rock Climbing : Up is never easy. But you face the rock.
You let every finger and all your toes help find the way.
Feel every muscle quake and quiver in battle with gravity.
Find faith in ropes, in teammates, in yourself. There’s no
time for distraction, no room for your mind to wander.
It’s you and a route. In rappelling one comes down the
rocks, again with the help of ropes and karabiners. These
are very good activities to help overcome height phobias.
Come conquer the ROCK !
Abseiling/Slithering: In this activity, one wears a
harness and slides from a bridge with a help of a rope
into the river.
River Crossing & Traversing: Here, a rope is tied from one
end of the river to the other and one crosses the river
while hanging on to the rope. From the other set of
parallel ropes, one comes back (traversing) standing on
one rope and holding on to the other rope.
EXCURSIONS IN CORBETT NATIONAL PARK:
The area around the Camp is the nature lover's ultimate
reward - wild and dense, the forest treks start from right
outside Corbett Wild. The natural and man-made trails will
take you as deep inside as you may dare to go.

remount training School near hempur and a short distance
through the RTS, lies the Tumeria Dam. The structure in
itself is a fun place to visit and educational for all, be

about 03 Kms. from Corbett Wilds there is a huge rock
perching out of the Kosi river bed and on the pinnacle is
a beautiful temple of Durga Devi named as Garjia. A place
good for bathing, basking, worship has an enchanting view
of river Kosi from the top of the rock. This place has
been named Garjia Devi after the deity. The temple is
visited by thousands of devotees from different parts of
the state. A large fair is held here on kartik Poornima.
