Nestled deep in the picturesque Ramganga valley and surrounded by lush hills, Vanghat River Lodge lies in total seclusion with the meandering Ramganga virtually cutting it off from human habitation. The lodge is strategically located on the banks of the river, the lifeline of Corbett, before it enters the park at Domunda. Vanghat provides a unique wildlife experience for nature lovers and easily ranks as one of the wildest jungle lodges in India. The rustle of the breeze in the adjoining forests, the calls of birds, the rumble of the river as it goes over rapids and sitting around a campfire at night to hear alarm calls of sambar and barking deer, provides an unforgettable dimension to the ambience. What makes Vanghat unique is the diversity it offers. The envious location affords long walks into the surrounding forest, something not permitted inside the park. A good mix of riverine, forest and high altitude habitat makes it a birdwatcher’s haven. With exclusive fishing beats replete with Golden Mahseer, anglers have rated Vanghat as the best sportfishing destination in North India. The added attraction of elephant safaris in the wild country makes Vanghat an irresistible proposition.
