The burnt red of the cottages forms a restful backdrop to verdant environs. Sloping tiled roofs, cool stone floors with throw rugs, block wood furniture and other details allow maximum comfort while continuing the illusion of being in the wilds.

The accent is clearly on nature. The 40 guest rooms have a clever area separation, for sleeping and for living, as in a suite. You get a sense of miles of extra space.

Double roomed suites are available for groups and families.

All the rooms are air conditioned with hot water in baths, and a refrigerator full of cooling drinks.

Dining
The resort serves excellent continental food and Indian cuisine. And a great variety of it all! The specialities of the Kumaoni region are a favorite feature on the menu. The emphasis is on freshness of produce. Remember to ask for minestrone soup, which is a wee bit spicy but lipsmacking. And the chicken kakori kababs that give your palate exciting information on gourmet cooking!

Services and Facilities
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.

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.
