Tarangi - Rejuvenate Yourself



Tarang in hindi means wave. Tarangi in Corbett literally means waves of rejuvanation. The only Yoga & Spa resort in Corbett, Tarangi has been recently taken over by the owners of Tiger Camp. Spread over roughly 13 acres of river front land, Tarangi boasts of commanding views of River Kosi and the mountains. At Tarangi, you have a great option of reconnecting with Nature and completely unwinding yourself to the tunes of river music.
Accommodation: They have 21 A/C cottages in different categories - River view, Mountain view and Garden View. Stayed at the River View cottage and trust me you cant get closer than this. What I really liked apart from the phenomenal river view was the way these cottages allow so much of air and light to come into your room. Fitted with all modern amenities, the rooms at Tarangi are extremely delightful and built with perfection.
Service: Tarangi has employed local villagers to encourage employment in the region and I found these guys very sweet. With "Hanji" all the time on their lips, they will run around to the fullest to please you...their "Atithi".
Recreational Facilities: Promoted as a Yoga retreat, one can definitely go for some basic exercises of Yoga while at Tarangi. Since most of the people go to Corbett for not more than 3 days, its quite a refreshing experience to be doing Yoga by the river and in lap of the Himalayas. They do not have any recreational facilities but do encourage guests to display their skills and interests by organising a gardening workshop and cookery classes etc.
Location: Superior river front location in Dhikuli area.
Attractions: A nice Swimming pool with a good river and jungle view.
Tariffs: The base category starts at Rs. 5,500/- Plus Tax per night for a couple inclusive of all meals. Worth it!
