In an ancient forest in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, a young tiger looks after her brood, teaching, playing, hunting and the skills needed to navigate the tough and contrasting summers and Monsoons.
Herds of elephants, jackal packs, leopards, sloth bears and martens share this magical landscape of mist-enveloped grasslands, rivers, ravines and mighty trees with the tiger family.
As you explore this wild wonderland on the tiger’s trail in jeep safaris, our bewitching guides will enchant you with this forest’s many secrets. One of the few wildlife park zones that are accessible even through the Monsoons, Jhrina, close to Jim’s Jungle Retreat, makes a unique and immersive experience.
Our Summer and Monsoon experience includes spa therapies to ease away the aches of the year gone by, unique in-the-forest guided meditation and Yoga sessions, and a menu of sumptuous farm-to-table cooking that will take you on a safari of world cuisine.

An ode and homage to a pioneer of wildlife conservation in India, Jim’s Jungle Retreat is our sanctuary of mindful luxury that has far more to offer than any resort in Corbett. Spread across 15 acres of ‘Mahavan’, a degraded agricultural land that has been painstakingly rewilded over the last 20 years with indigenous flora, inviting the fauna, merging into the buffer zone of Corbett National Park at Dhela. Jim’s Jungle Retreat is a labour of love and the solace it brings, palpable in everything here.
Jim’s Jungle Retreat is located on the edge of Corbett National Park to the South East at the entrance to both Dhela and Jhirna zones, with almost 1200 hectares of Terai forest land showcasing varied ecosystems. Sharing a boundary with the jungle, our wilderness retreat is a gateway to Dhela, known for having the highest sightings of wildlife including tigers. Rest assured our expert naturalists will guide you through the many wonders of Corbett National Park when you stay at our wildlife haven, a far cry from any Resort in Corbett.
With only 18 cottages and lodges, each hidden by dense foliage, privacy with a front-row seat to some beautiful bird watching is default as you lounge in one of the many spaces at our our sanctuary of nature, rare thing indeed at a resort in Corbett. Recline with a book and binoculars at your private patio, repose by the poolside with tall trees cuddling the landscape, climb up the machan or the gallery at Carpet Sahib Café and be lost to the world as the wilderness comes seeking you at our oasis extraordinaire.

Fantastic, beautiful and serene
Jim's was fantastic from start to finish. They couldn't do more to try and look after you and cater for your needs, including lots of little extras that go the extra mile. The resort is beautiful, peaceful and well maintained. I think it only has a three star rating but I have no idea how. Food amazing, pool lovely, safari's fantastic and a documentary shown about tigers or the reserve every night. Would come again in a heartbeat.

Gorgeous Jungle Lodge
Our group of 4 spent 3 days here during our tiger safari and loved every minute of it. Our room was spacious and clean. The resort provides pitchers of drinking water in the room, which is great to not use single use plastic. The food was fantastic. We had amazing sightings of tigers and elephants. We also saw tons of gorgeous birds, including several hornbills. Every night prior to dinner, the lodge puts on a movie and sets up a very nice outdoor theater, with alcoholic drink options.
Overall:Great lodge and great place to explore Corbett National Park. Our driver Amith was fantastic. The entire staff was welcoming, helpful and attentive. I would recommend this place to others.
