Infinity
Resorts Corbett
Introduction
:
Owned and managed by Khatau International,
a Dilip D. Khatau Group Company. Infinity Resorts is situated
in the himaliyan foothills on the banks of the Kosi River.
Situated in the Kumaon hills of Uttaranchal, it reflects a
high standard of jungle accommodation which is unique in India.
The lodge reminds one, of the famous African lodges. It has
a distinct outdoor atmosphere, right down to the staff uniforms.
The lodge has a typical jungle ambience with its huge wooden
rafters in a dome-shaped split level mega-pagoda, which serves
as a lounge with a cozy fireplace, a fully-stocked bar and
a dining hall. The decor, the furniture, the artifacts, all
capture the tough life of the jungle so loved by the legendary
Jim Corbett. Its 24 twin bedrooms offer a panoramic view of
the Kosi river with the backdrop of the Kumaon hills. Its
lawns, set amidst a mango grove bring to life the bonhomie
of outdoor zest and zeal with 'Chota Pegs' and small eats
in the evening.
Infinity Resorts is a strong
believer in eco-tourism as not only is it
important to travel to remote areas and enjoy and understand
the biodiversity and cultural heritage of the area, but also
to retain the purity and beauty of the wilderness.
The most significant event
that has taken place in this regard is the setting up of The
Corbett Foundation. It is a private trust which is
engaged in eco-developmental works in the buffer area with
special emphasis on an awareness programme. It is earnestly
hoped that the activities of the trust will further the cause
of eco-tourism and it will become a pioneer organisation to
further conservation efforts in and around the Cobett Tiger
Reserve, including the tiger.

Resorts stands on the banks of the Kosi river in the heart
of the Kumaon hills of western U.P. Looking onto the green
hills of Nainital and Ranikhet ridgeline, the lodge reflects

Twenty four spacious twin-bedded

lodge and dining area, complete with a fully stocked bar and
