Creek Hopping

A great way for the Jim Corbett enthusiast to get his fill of the wilderness. For others it's an enjoyable game of hopping across the giggling river. So don't forget your floaters!

While you work up a wild appetite chilling out in the river, preparations for hot lunch in the true jungle spirit will be underway.

Creek hopping trails :
» Sitabani to Moteshwar (ancient temple deep in the jungle) - approx. 03 kms.
We follow the Chaill upstream to the pond at Moteshwar which attracts wild elephants during their seasonal migration. The great hornbill is also often spotted feeding on the ber trees in the valley.

» Sitabani to Taat Maharaj's cave - approx. 04 kms.
Downstream from the confluence of the Chaill and Kali gaddhera, past the Kakar Chaur (barking deer haunt) to the water fall amphitheater below Taat Maharaj's cave.

Bird Watching

- Due to its proximity to the forest, scores of birds frequent the retreat.
The area hosts about 600 species of resident and migratory avifauna.

Birding at Sitavani
The abundance of water and thick forests provides an excellent habitat for the great indian hornbill among many others.

Birding at Kakraarh gadera
This is walking distance from the jungle resort. Lack of human interference and impenetrable bush cover make it a favorable nesting site for the red jungle fowl and black partridges. Kingfishers, Chets, tits, wagtails, fantails etal have been spotted or heard regularly.
So wake up to birdsongs........

Complementing the natural background score, our in-house band with a repertoire of the 60s and 70s music, will keep you humming through the night.
