Leisure Hotels Group (LHG), North India’s leading experiential resort chain and a homegrown brand from Uttarakhand, has revealed plans to launch a new experiential resort in Corbett this December. With this addition, the Group will operate four unique properties in the region, featuring over 260 accommodation options—including cottage-style rooms, suites, and immersive Swiss tents—making it the most diverse hospitality portfolio in Corbett.
Mukund Prasad, Managing Director, Leisure Hotels Group, said: “In the early 1990s, Corbett was a hidden wilderness retreat. As it emerged as India’s most celebrated wildlife destination, Leisure Hotels Group helped shape its tourism narrative. We didn’t just open properties— we set the standards for how Corbett would be experienced, from riverfront retreats and swiss tents to luxury resorts. Today, we are proud to be the only hospitality chain offering such a layered experience. For us, the journey has never been just about building hotels—it has been about nurturing a destination, preserving its culture, and redefining responsible wilderness tourism for the future.”
LHG’s existing properties — The Riverview Retreat (2000), Jamoon Camp (2010), and Taj Corbett Resort & Spa (2016) — have each played a key role in shaping Corbett’s hospitality scene, spanning riverside cottages, wilderness camps, and luxury stays. The new resort, set to open in 2025, will further consolidate the Group’s strong presence in the destination.
Each of LHG’s Corbett properties caters to a wide range of guests, including families, couples, adventure seekers, wildlife enthusiasts, and corporate travellers. Visitors can indulge in curated experiences such as birding trails, night walks, rafting adventures, and distinctive riverside or jungle dining that highlights authentic Kumaoni cuisine.
Sustainability and community engagement continue to remain at the core of LHG’s philosophy. In addition, the Group actively supports local employment, while also promoting traditional Aipan art and celebrating regional culture through performances like Chhaliya dance and Indian classical music under its Ragas by the River initiative. Moreover, its environmental initiatives include the use of solar power, rainwater harvesting, waste reduction, and collaborations for wildlife conservation.
With steady expansion, Leisure Hotels Group continues to uphold its mission of preserving Corbett’s natural heritage while advancing toward its vision of operating 100 experiential properties across India by 2030.
“In Corbett, we discovered more than opportunity, we established the foundation of our legacy,” added Vibhas Prasad, Director, Leisure Hotels Group. “Over the past three decades, we have introduced immersive stays, authentic dining, pioneering wilderness activities, and community-driven initiatives that have defined the Corbett experience. With this new resort along the kosi river joining our cluster, we are reaffirming our commitment to keeping Corbett on the global wilderness tourism map.”
