Map
Jim's Jungle Retreat is a wildlife lodge in Corbett Tiger Reserve, nestled between the Himalayan foothills in the north and the ancient Shivaliks in the south. The protected forest, Asia’s first conservation effort, extends over 1300 square kms of grassland, forest, rivers and lakes.

In this fascinating landscape, we offer acres of lush refuge, forest and mountain vistas, countless bird-spotting opportunities and instinct-sharpening walks and safaris.

At the retreat, spend hours by the pool, at the jungle-inspired chemical-free spa or on your private verandah. A gastronomic experience awaits you with organic farm-to-table meals, cuisines from the Kumaon, the Raj and from the newabi kitchens of Rampur. Birdsong, privacy, and sumptuous meals are your personal luxuries here.

Furthermore, our expert team is always on hand to assist you at every stage of your journey, ensuring that every detail is taken care of to perfection.
  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

Amazing!!
It was an amazing trip with the service being the best part about this resort. The staff was very generous with us and took care of every need. My 4 year toddler thoroughly enjoyed the stay as well
. The food was delicious and every day was a different cuisine. Despite no television being the room we did not feel the need for it.
Wow! 🤩 Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. We’re thrilled to hear about your fantastic experience from stay, service, food safari and more. We are honoured to have had the opportunity to serve your family, including the little one :)

It’s customers like you who make our work so rewarding. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another wonderful experience.

Kind Regards

Great experience!
Everything we did there was a great experience. We were very friendly welcomed by the JJR team. After our arrival, immediately, they made us feel easy in the resort. The restaurant is very inviting and the atmosphere is very charming. The food was delicious and was a delight. The chef personally came to make sure that we had everything we needed. The JJR team was at all time very friendly and still discrete, that made us feel comfortable. The apartment we stayed at was very clean and spacious. They offer a bar with fresh water, and you can prepare tea or coffee and enjoy it with fresh baked cookies. The pool, it is big, very clean, and the area around the pool was spacious and quiet. When you're in the resort, you can only hear the silence alternated with the sounds of birds, and also, some friendly monkeys were around in the compound.
I will definitely go back there, and I highly recommend anyone who wants to have a real nature experience to visit this place. 😊
Thank you for such kind words !

We are truly happy that you enjoyed your stay so much, particularly the landscape that we are a part of ( for e.g. staying in the buffer zone is an experience in itself). We’ve worked hard to offer our guests the best jungle experience possible with our constant re-wilding efforts at the property, most of our food being sourced and grown at the property itself, Jeep safaris in 4 zones, birding trails, mahavan walk, and more...

We hope to host you back again soon :)
Have a great day 😃

Best Regards

Nature at its best with Jim's Jungle.
Staying at a place with no noise.. or pollution surrounded by nature at its best. After a long time stayed at a place where the staff was amazing so was the chef. Great food.. staggering view. It's a great place to be with the family far away from electronic gadgets and tv.. best place to relax all you senses. I personally booked for 2 nights and later stayed for another one. Given a chance I would like to visit the property every month if possible.
Thank you so much for your review :)
Our chef and his team are fab at curating the food safari experience and sourcing of ingredients locally. We are glad that you enjoyed the food and stay experience with us.
We would love to host you again and explore more of the jungle with us !!

Best Regards

Harmony with Nature.One of its Kind!!
It was a peaceful serene place with efficient and friendly staff. The Lodge we stayed in was beautifully done in an eco friendly way. The property is covered with man made forest keeping local flora in mind building a whole harmonious ecosystem inside. The naturalist are always researching and working towards saving and protecting our jungles. The chef makes mouth watering food. It was one of its kind place I will surely visit again for longer stays!!!
Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy that you truly loved our re-wilding efforts.
Our chef is a gem delivering a curated food safari experience and our naturalists team always documenting and researching wildlife from its trees, plants, insects to different mammals we find inside and outside the property.

See you soon :)

Cheers

Un souvenir inoubliable, un accueil et une disponibilité sans pareil
On plonge dans l’univers de Kipling quelques bungalows luxueux et très bien décorés dans un parc luxuriant. Deux restaurants ouverts sur le parc. Une piscine pour se détendre après les Safaris et un personnel charmant attentionné et très professionnel. C’est certain nous reviendrons

Spartano e piacevole
Sulla riva di un torrente monsonico lo storico Jim's jungle si allarga in un terreno rimboschito negli ultimi vent'anni. I cottages sono abbastanza spartani ma piacevoli, la cucina ottima - un po' noiosa - i safari ben organizzati (molto presto la mattina : preparatevi a alzarvi ben prima delle 6) con le jeep. Un po' povero invece il programma di passeggiate e giri a piedi che si riducono in sostanza a uno soltanto, lungo il fiume. Buoni i libri e molto gentile e preparato il naturalista che segue gli ospiti del campo. Al corbett non è facile vedere gli animali: chi ama osservare gli uccelli, come me, può avere grandi soddisfazioni ma c'è molta gente nel parco - turisti locali e anche contadini - le tigri o altri grandi animali piuttosto un miraggio. Certo, secondo me non c'è nessun bisogno di inseguire il 'trofeo ' fotografico della tigre! Ma piuttosto di stare un po' nella natura. Buono il rapporto qualità prezzo.

Un havre de paix et de nature pour visiter Corbett National Park
Nous avons passé deux nuits dans ce lodge très agréable. Situé en pleine nature et au calme, les prestations sont luxueuses et la cuisine excellente. Le personnel est très professionnel et très agréable. Nous avons pu ainsi faire une balade à pied et à vélo dans la campagne et les villages voisins.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt in einem wunderschönen Hotel
Hervorzuheben an diesem Hotel ist die sehr schöne Atmosphäre, die nicht zuletzt daher rührt, dass das Hotel relativ klein ist. Ein absolutes Plus in unseren Augen! Die Bungalows sind stilvoll eingerichtet, gross und mit einer netten Sitzecke ausgestattet. Von der Terrasse lassen sich Affen, Rehe, Vögel und Schmetterlinge beobachten.

Die Anlage ist recht weitläufig, so hat man nur eingeschränkt Sichtkontakt zum benachbarten Bungalow. Die Bepflanzung ist sehr schön. So ergibt sich ein stimmiges Gesamtbild eines Safari-Urlaubs.

Die Restaurant bietet sehr gutes Essen und ebenfalls eine schöne Atmosphäre. Auch wird jeden Abend auf der Wiese neben dem Hotel eine Filmvorführung oder Diashow mit Live-Kommentaren abgehalten.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und kümmert sich persönlich. Das komplette Programm an Safaris kann organisiert werden (Permits hatten wir schon selbst vorgebucht, können aber auch von Hotel aus organisiert werden. Rechtzeitig bescheid sagen).

Die Lage am Waldrand und in direkter Nachbarschaft zum Fluss erlauben zudem erlebnisreiche Morning- bzw Evening-Walks unter fachkundiger Führung. Tiger- und Elefantensichtungen möglich!

Empfehlung sind auf jeden Fall 4 oder mehr Nächte. Wir selbst hatten nur Zeit für 3 Nächte und konnten so nicht alle Angebot wahrnehmen die dieses Hotel und die Region bieten.

Viel zu kurz...
Jim's Jungle Retreat liegt unmittelbar an der Grenze zum Nationalpark, etwas versteckt am Ufer eines Flusses. Mein Fahrer hatte jedenfalls Mühe es zu finden.

Dann aber...tolle Bungalows, es war nachts sehr kalt und ich fand abends (unaufgefordert) eine Wärmflsche in meinem Bett, ein großer Garten, tolles Essen, einfach klasse.

Die Hotelmanagerin nahm sich viel Zeit für die Gäste, es ging familiär zu.

Mit Tigern war's leider nichts, aber der National Park ist auch ohne die Großkatzen zu Gesicht bekommen zu haben absolut sehenswert.

Wunderschoen
Wir haben ueber Tripadvisor dieses Camp gefunden und 3 wunderschoene Tage dort verbracht. Am ersten Tag wurden wir von einem Guide auf einen Naturtrail mitgenommen. Er war mit Leib und Seele dabei und hat uns die dortige Tierwelt sehr anschaulich erklaert sowie viel ueber den Dschungel und die dort lebenden Menschen erzahlt. Der Manager ist ein wahnsinnig gebildeter und unterhaltsamer Mensch,mit dem wir uns am dortigen Lagerfeuer anregend unterhalten haben. Das Camp ist sehr sauber und die tents, sowie die Cottages liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Service ist wahnsinnig zuvorkommen. Das Essen sehr gut. Wir haben 2 full days safari im voraus als Arreangement gebucht, was auch gut war denn im nachhinein gab es keine Moeglichkeit mehr einen ganzen Tag den Park zu besuchen.
Am ersten Tag haben wir einen wilden Elefanten gesehen und andere interessante Tiere, am 2. Tag dann das Highlight unserer Reise ueber 20 Minuten einen Tiger, der die ganze Zeit auf der Strasse gelaufen ist. Zusaetzlich ein Bad genommen und relaxed war. Also wer in Indien ist und Tierliebhaber sollte auf dieses unvergessliche Erlebnis nicht verzichten.

Unser Indienhighlight
Wir haben übers Internet eine Nacht im Resort und zwei Nächte innerhalb des Parks gebucht. Unser Plan war von Delhi aus mit dem Zug anzureisen, leider wurde uns in zwei Reisebüros mitgeteilt das der Zug für mehrere Tage ausgebucht sei. Unsere einzige Möglichkeit pünktlich anzureisen war ein Taxi mit Fahrer zu überhöhtem Preis (Euro 210.-) im Reisebüro zu mieten. Obwohl die Fahrt mit dem Zug lediglich sechs Stunden dauert benötigten wir mit dem Taxi zwölf Stunden. Eine Fahrt die uns ewig in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Einen unangenehmen Geruch nach Abgasen führten wir auf den starken Verkehr zurück, als der Verkehr später allerdings weniger wurde und der Gestank im Auto nicht, wurde uns klar das die eigenen Abgase durch die Heckklappe ins Auto drangen. Entlang der Strecke musste sich unser Fahrer unbedingt eine kleine Flasche Whisky kaufen die er allerdings erst bei Ankunft trinken wollte. Gegen Mitternacht hielt er an um etwas zu Essen und nahm den Whisky mit. Da er ohne Flasche zurückkam war uns klar das er die ganze Flasche getrunken hatte. Ein wenig später wurden wir an einer Grenze zu einem anderen Bundesstaat von der Polizei angehalten. Da unser Fahrer den Führerschein vergessen hatte ging erst mal gar nichts mehr. Bei Bezahlung einer Strafe von Euro 20.- hätten wir weiterfahren dürfen nur hatte unser Fahrer angeblich nicht so viel Geld dabei, also hat er uns gebeten wir mögen Ihm doch das Trinkgeld schon im vorhinein geben. In anbetracht der Vorkommnisse fanden wir das zimlich unverschämt und haben nicht bezahlt.
Nach zwei Stunden ging es dann doch weiter und gegen drei Uhr morgens kamen wir im Resort an. Obwohl wir für diese Nacht noch kein Zimmer gebucht hatten bekammen wir eines ohne mehr zu bezahlen. Als wir unser Cottage betraten fühlten wir uns wie im Paradies. Alles sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet mit einer großen Veranda umgeben von heimischen Bäumen und Blumen.

Tag 1.:
Nach kurzem Schlaf wurden wir um neun geweckt um bei der morgendlichen Wanderung teilzunehmen. Die Wanderung führt vom Resort welches in der Pufferzone des Parks liegt durch ehemalige Teakplantagen und Waldrestbestände zu einem Fluß. Gleich vor dem Eingang zum Resort fanden wir frische Tigerspuren. Weiters sahen wir
Schakale und große Hornvögel. Die Wanderung ist einzigartig da die Möglichkeit besteht verschiedenen Wildtieren wie Tiger und Elefant zu Fuß zu begegnen. Im Nationalpark Bandhavgarh den wir zuvor besucht hatten gab es diese Möglichkeit nicht. Außerdem haben wir dort nicht einen einzigen Tiger gesehen obwohl dort angeblich die meisten Sichtungen sein sollen. Alles kein Vergleich mit Jimsjungleretreat und deren Führung im Corbett NP. Nach einem guten Frühstück verbrachten wir den Tag auf unserer Veranda und im Pool. Bei der Abendwanderung hatten wir das Glück eine Herde Elefanten am anderen Flußufer zu sehen. Am Abend saßen wir beim Lagerfeuer erzählten Geschichten und wurden mit Gegrilltem Fleisch und Bier verwöhnt. Danach gab es noch Abendessen vom Buffet. Nicht nur daß das Essen hervorragend schmeckt auch die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich wie ein Freund des Hauses.

Tag 2-3.:
Gegen neun ging es mit dem Jeep Richtung Birani wo wir die nächsten zwei Tage bleiben sollten. In unserem Jeep waren außer dem Fahrer noch ein Guide der Lodge und einer von der Parkverwaltung. Die Unterkunft in Birani ist zwar nicht mehr so toll wie in der Lodge aber dennoch absolut in Ordnung. Die Zimmer sind in einem ehemaligen Jagdhaus und die Anzahl der Gäste ist sehr begrenzt, daher unbedingt
frühzeitig über Jimsjungleretreat buchen. Der Vorteil einer Übernachtung im Park liegt darin das man von Morgens bis Abends im Park unterwegs ist und daher auch zu Zeiten wo es den Tagesgästen nicht erlaubt ist sich im Park aufzuhalten.

Wir haben viele verschiedene Tiere gesehen aber am tollsten war das wir vier verschiedene Tiger sehen konnten. Der erste lag im Gebüsch und war nur mit dem Fernglas gut zu sehen dafür aber über längere Zeit. Den zweiten und den dritten haben wir kurz vor uns auf dem Weg gesehen, beide waren sehr relaxt und haben kaum Notiz von uns genommen. Der vierte war ein Weibchen und nicht so relaxt da gerade Paarungszeit war wie uns unser Führer erklärte. Das erste mal sahen wir sie beim überqueren eines Flußbettes. Danach positionierten wir uns so das sie vor unserem Auto den Weg passieren mußte. Anscheinend hat Ihr das nicht so gefallen, denn sie brüllte so laut das es uns die Nackenhaare aufstellte. Wir hatten großes Glück auch einen Tiger brüllen zu hören denn laut Aussage unseres Guides tun sie das meist nur in der Paarungszeit welche ungefähr einen Monat dauert.

Am Abend des dritten Tages ging es zurück in die Lodge wo wir noch einmal duschen
und essen konnten. Obwohl ja laut Auskunft der Reisebüros in Delhi alle Züge für mehrere Tage ausgebucht waren hat uns Imran Khan der freundliche Manager inzwischen eine Rückfahrkarte erster Klasse besorgt. Da wir zuvor schon mit dem Sleeper von Mumbai nach Jabalpur gefahren sind wußten wir den Luxus einer eigenen
Liege mit freiem Zugang zur Toilette sehr zu schätzen. Wir können jedem nur raten unbedingt im Liegewagen erster Klasse zu fahren zumal es nicht viel teurer ist. Sollte es Ihnen in Delhi so ergehen wie uns empfehlen wir unbedingt Jimsjungleretreat zu kontaktieren.

Für uns war Jimsjungleretreat und Corbett ein absoluter Höhepunkt das nächste mal
würden wir allerdings ein paar Tage länger in der Lodge bleiben. Vielen herzlichen Dank an Imran Khan und seine Crew !!!!!
