#riverviewretreat

So it happened like this - I and my husband had not gone for a holiday for 6 months now and we were very desperate for it. Suddenly it came to our mind to visit JimCorbett. We stay at Dehradun so its like 6 hours from our place. This resort was suggested by father's friend. Since it was a sudden plan so we were not expecting much of it. We just wanted a room to spend the night. But the moment we reached there, we were actually amazed by the kind of ambiance this resort offered. So they have a number of cottages with 2 rooms on each floor (ground floor and first floor) with a living room and kitchen area. The rooms are well maintained, clean with garden area for each cottage. There is greenery all around. We reached there on a Sunday around 4 pm and were allocated room within 5 mins. We checked in and went for Spa #Tatava. The staff there - Mr. Artish and the massager- is convivial. The rates are nominal. After we were done with  #spa, we went for #dinner. The dining area is a huge lawn with #restaurant on one and river #kosi flowing on the other side. Our waiter was Mr. Yogesh Nainwal who was very cordial and served us extra snacks as we were enjoying our beers ;). The dinner and breakfast are included in the room package. They have a variety of dishes in the buffet. The next morning was our jungle safari. From the hotel, the safari gate was 20 km away. We had to start at 5:30 am. The hotel makes arrangements for your early morning tea and biscuits. The #safari happens in a modified jeep with an open roof and trust me early in the morning - having cold breeze hitting your face while you drive down - is an amazing feeling. Our driver was Mr. Alam and the guide was Mr. Anil Chuadhary (who joined us at the gates of #JimCorbett). They have immense and deep knowledge about the Jungle and the wildlife. The jungle is huge and it's refreshing to hear localities talking about tigers and their stories. Overall it was a noce experience and a refreshing one indeed.  Thanks, Mr. Jeena for all the arrangements.
