Club Mahindra has a resort in Jim Corbett national park.
ReplyDeleteIt is on the river Kosi and my room had a view of the lovely river. My room was a single bedroom apartment that was very well done. It had all the modern facilities. Club Mahindra provides a Jungle safari for those who are interested, the rest can stay indoors and take part in the activities provided by them. There are a number of games and activities provided. I choose to go on the safari. You can even go on nature walks, as the resort is very close to the Jim Corbett national Park.
There are several places to visit and the Club Mahindra executive gave me complete information on the places I could visit. The staff is attentive and efficient. They provide all facilities and food is extremely good. I had read several Club Mahindra Reviews before I came, most of them praised the place and the facilities and I found it all true. Even I can see that the resort is well worth the money spent and this place is a must visit if you love nature and wild animals. This is one of the best wildlife sanctuaries in India. I think everybody who loves nature must visit this resort.
