Sitabani Wildlife Reserve
Located about 8 km from our resort, the Sitabani Wildlife Reserve is a serene haven on the outskirts of Jim Corbett, known for its rich biodiversity and mythological significance. Believed to be where Goddess Sita spent part of her exile, this tranquil forest blends spirituality with wilderness. Home to over 600 species of trees, orchids, and birds, it offers an excellent opportunity for birdwatching amid sal and oak-rhododendron forests. Unlike the core zones of Corbett, Sitabani provides a quieter, more immersive safari experience and also serves as a model for habitat restoration and community-based conservation.
Dhangarhi Gate and Museum
Dhangarhi Gate and Museum serves as the main entry point to the Dhikala zone of Jim Corbett National Park. Located about 48 km from the resort, it offers visitors a fascinating introduction to the park’s wildlife and history, featuring exhibits of preserved animals such as tigers and elephants, along with displays about Jim Corbett’s pioneering conservation work. The museum also showcases informative dioramas, photographs, and artefacts that highlight the region’s rich biodiversity. A stop here not only deepens one’s understanding of the forest ecosystem but also sets the stage for an enriching safari experience ahead.
