Northern India
Vanghat
Set amidst breathtaking surroundings within the Ramganga River valley, Vanghat lodge is a perfect base from which to explore Corbett National Park. Home to a wide variety of birds, mammals, and other wildlife, Corbett was India’s first national park, given its status in 1936, primarily to conserve the Bengal tiger.
The lodge is composed of 9 cottages, 4 mud and thatched cottages, and 5 stone cottages. Each one is dedicated to a different group of wildlife, named and painted accordingly to give them unique identities. The mud cottages serve as natural air-conditioners, and the stone cottages are artistically made by local experts and set at a height that allows watching birds from your balcony.

Everything ran like clockwork. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and very helpful. Transfers, guides and wildlife sightings all exceeded our expectations. Highlights were having a male tiger with his mouth and legs covered in blood following our jeep a long the track in Tadoba and seeing a leopard lounging on a rock by the roadside.
