Outdoors Activities
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.

Indoors Activities
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.

Jungle Safari
The natural preference for outdoor excursions is the highly recommended jungle safari in the Corbett Hideaway Canter bus, with stopover of a day or more in the park. Special programmes are organized by the Hideaway on request, such as theme dinners and banquets, kumaoni dance performances with musicians, group excursions to other tourist spots like Nainital and Bhimtal.

Corbett Hideaway takes you on exhilarating safaris to the Corbett Park on horseback, elephant and on cycles. Softer options are jeeps and the Resort's Canter bus. Probably no other resort is as well equipped with safari facilities.
