Leisure Hotels Group (LHG), a home-grown resort chain from Uttarakhand, will expand its presence in Corbett with a new experiential resort this December.
With this addition, LHG will operate four properties offering over 260 accommodation options, from cottage-style rooms and suites to Swiss tents, making it the largest and most diverse portfolio in the region.
Since entering Corbett in 1993, LHG has helped shape the destination’s wilderness experience, creating properties that blend with nature and offer immersive stays. Previous milestones include the Riverview Retreat (2000) alongside the Kosi River, Jamoon Camp (2010) with tented lodging near the forest, and Taj Corbett Resort & Spa (2016), which elevated the region’s luxury positioning. The new resort will further expand the group’s footprint.
Each property targets different audiences, including families, couples, wildlife enthusiasts, and corporates. Offerings include jeep safaris, birding trails, riverside picnics, night walks, rafting, and dining such as riverside breakfasts, jungle barbecues, and local Kumaoni menus.
LHG also supports local communities through employment, training, and cultural initiatives, including reviving Aipan art, supporting Chhaliya dancers, and hosting classical music performances. Sustainability is embedded through solar power, rainwater harvesting, wildlife partnerships, and waste management.
Mukund Prasad, managing director of LHG, noted that when Corbett was largely undeveloped in the early 1990s, the company helped shape its tourism landscape, setting standards for experiences from riverfront retreats and swiss tents to luxury resorts, creating a uniquely layered hospitality offering in the region.
He said: “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.”
Vibhas Prasad, director of LHG, added: “With this new resort along the Kosi River, we are reaffirming our commitment to keeping Corbett on the global wilderness tourism map.”
