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.
