Dear Gaurav,

Please post the name of the company.....then users may post their experiences, if any ???

However, be doubly sure before joining any camp while with girls....

Lastly, it's part of Corbett only, so why not do it at Corbett, where tourist facilities are better......

Thank a lot delhiwalla.

The name of the camp is NATURE VILLAGE
The exact location is as follows:
Take the following route by car/bus/train: Kotdwara to The Nature Village which is 23 Kms. on Kotdwar- Kalagarh Road. (1 Km after Kotdwara turn Right towards Sidhbali Temple. Further, 10 Kms is Saneh Forest Rest House and further 12 Km and 1 Km before Pakhro Forest Rest House Turn Right to The Nature Village.)

Sorry to ask again,how can i confirm about authenticity of camp.Please give some advice/ideas.

AS i have been to jim corbett once.Stayed at Kanda Rest house which was truly awesome,did 2 full day safaris but couldn't see any tiger :-(
As i have already been to Dhikala so I want to try something different this time.Plus some one told me that kalagarh part of the park is more exciting and also i read in some posts on this site only that its kind of more adventurous than the other part of the park.

There is a site also about the above said farms but i have been told by site owner not to mention commercial sites.So sorry about that.

Yes ! It's good not to post commercial websites.

I am sure comments on this place will appear soon.
