About Vanghat in Marchula, Corbett Tiger Reserve, Almora

Accessible only by a 2 km cross-country walk and raft across the river waters, Vanghat lodge is a wilderness paradise unlike anything else to be found around Jim Corbett National Park.

'Vanghat' translates from Hindi to mean 'forest on the river', and it can often be hard to determine where the woodland ends and the lodge begins. Surrounded by the wildlife of the Kalagarh Tiger Reserve, itself part of the larger Corbett Tiger Reserve and situated on an important wildlife corridor, the lodge is host to all manner of iconic and rare species. Conservation and a minimized environmental footprint are central to our ethos and we are proud to say we are a lodge run by naturalists for naturalists. Vanghat is famed for its warm hospitality as well as its walking safaris, birding and mahseer fishing, all accompanied by expert local guides; tailor-made special interest stays can also be arranged for those with something particular in mind.
