Jim’s Jungle Retreat
Corbett National Park

Located in the heart of the Corbett Tiger Reserve, Jim’s Jungle Retreat is a luxurious, eco-conscious safari lodge offering an unforgettable wildlife experience in India’s oldest national park. Originally established in 1936 by legendary conservationist Jim Corbett, this 1,300-square-kilometre protected forest in the Himalayan foothills is a sanctuary of lush grasslands, rivers and dense jungle, the perfect setting for safari adventures, birdwatching and sustainable travel.

Nestled within this biodiverse haven, Jim’s Jungle Retreat offers three elegant accommodation categories, Jungle Lodges, Jungle Cottages and Family Cottages, all designed with spacious interiors, handcrafted local furnishings and earthy, authentic decor. Whether you’re a solo explorer, couple or travelling as a family, the retreat blends rustic charm with modern comfort to create a truly immersive jungle stay.

What sets Jim’s Jungle Retreat apart is its deep connection to conservation and the surrounding environment. Guided wildlife safaris, birding tours and forest walks are led by expert naturalists who offer incredible insight into the park’s rich ecosystem, including the elusive Bengal tiger, elephants, deer and over 600 species of birds.

Beyond the safari, guests can participate in a hands-on tree planting programme, enjoy a wildlife photography workshop, or simply unwind by the nature-inspired swimming pool. The chemical-free jungle spa offers Ayurvedic treatments and relaxing therapies to soothe safari-weary muscles, while the open-air Gujjar-style lounge hosts evening talks and conservation-focused slide shows.

Dining at the retreat is a highlight in itself. The open-plan dining room serves fresh, locally sourced cuisine inspired by the flavours of Kumaon, the Raj and the Nawab kitchens of Rampur. Ingredients come straight from the organic garden and on-site farm, ensuring every meal is as sustainable as it is delicious.

For those seeking a luxury safari experience in India that combines wildlife, wellness and conservation, Jim’s Jungle Retreat at Corbett National Park offers an enchanting escape. It’s a mythological journey into the wild, and a true tribute to Jim Corbett’s legacy.

Client Testimonials

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India

Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines

We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India

I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India

Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India

I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly... And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Myanmar & India

Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India

Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
