Our Story

River Heritage Resort was built around one idea: that a stay near Jim Corbett National Park should feel like part of the landscape rather than an interruption of it. The resort occupies a riverside stretch in Dhikuli, Ramnagar, where the Kosi River runs along the property boundary and the forest ridge rises on the far bank.

The architecture uses local stone, timber and Kumaoni craft detail, and the grounds keep their mature trees so that birdlife, river breeze and shade remain part of the guest experience. Lighting, water use and waste handling are managed with the river in mind, and much of the produce and staffing comes from surrounding villages such as Chooti Haldwani.

Hospitality here is personal rather than scripted. The team plans safari permits, transfers, celebrations and quiet anniversaries with the same care, and most guests deal directly with the people running the kitchen, the spa and the front desk.

The resort has 52 eco-luxury rooms and suites across four categories — Tiger Cub, Sitabani, Chooti Haldwani and the Kosi River Suite — each finished with locally inspired interiors, air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms, tea and coffee service, and in-room dining.

Facilities include the SROT multi-cuisine restaurant, the Sarovar swimming pool, the Roopkund Spa, the Prayag banquet and conference hall, and two acres of riverside lawns — Bugyal Lawn for gatherings of 500 or more and Kosi Lawn for around 300 guests — used for weddings, corporate offsites and celebrations.

Guests travel here from Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Chandigarh and Lucknow. Ramnagar railway station is the closest rail head and the drive from Delhi takes roughly six hours. Check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM.

Days at the resort are usually built around a jungle safari in Corbett, a guided nature walk, riverside yoga, birdwatching, a village visit to Chooti Haldwani, and a bonfire dinner by the water. Our team arranges safari permits, transfers and itineraries on request.
