Uttarakhand, which is known for the natural environment of the Himalayas, offers limitless opportunities for tourism and adventure.
A state in the northern part of India, Uttarakhand offers something for everyone – Pilgrimage, Temples, Wildlife tours, Bird Watching, Rafting, Mountaineering, Skiing, Trekking, Camping, Yoga and Meditation and much more.
“With domestic tourism seeing a boost after Covid, tourists are willing to travel much more within the country and explore extensively. Uttarakhand is a state that is very well connected by road and air, so tourists from across the country, neighbouring states, and particularly Delhi are regulars here. The need of the hour is to develop more tourist circuits within the state to offer tourists a rich and varied experience,” said Mukesh Singh, Managing Director, The Tattwaa Corbett Spa & Resort.
Launched in December 2021, The Tattwaa Corbett Spa & Resort is conveniently located on the fringes of the Corbett National Park. The Dhela and Jhirna gates are within 5 km of the resort and are easily accessible.
The resort has well-appointed 48 rooms across 6 categories with a pricing of Rs 4,500 onwards. Between 325 sq ft to over 700 sq ft, the rooms are spacious, comfortable and perfect for a relaxing stay at Corbett. Room categories include Suites, Superior Rooms, Standard Rooms, Jungle Cabana, Cottage Rooms and Villa Rooms.
Talking about the uniqueness of the property, Singh added, “The Tattwaa Corbett Spa & Resort is known for its very delicious food. We serve a wide array of vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine, from traditional Mughlai to Italian, to local Kumaoni cuisine. We have our indigenous bakery where we produce exclusive gourmet bakes and savouries.”
Apart from Atithi – the fine dining restaurant, The Tattwaa Corbett Spa & Resort also has three food outlets outside the resort for drop-in guests which are very popular among locals and passing tourists. Buns In Oven is its 24×7 cafe which serves the most delicious bakes and hot beverages. Chattar Pattar is the late-night chat counter and Kabab-Bio serves the most delectable kebabs and tikkas.
“We have had repeat guests and also guests coming from far-off states like Maharashtra and Gujarat. International tourists coming to Jim Corbett National Park also find our resort very close to nature. We are doing corporate events, weddings, anniversaries, and school tours besides hosting many leisure tourists throughout the year. Apart from serving the best food, we always aspire to give our guests the best hospitality,” stated Singh. “Our staff is trained to have a ‘guest first’ approach which goes a long way in keeping our guests happy. The first year has mostly been word-of-mouth publicity and I am proud to say the response has been good so far.”
The Tattwaa Corbett Spa & Resort has 5 indoor/outdoor venues that can accommodate over 300-400 guests. Urvi, Viha, Ira, Ark and Vyoman are perfect venues for weddings and other small or big social functions. The outdoor functions can also be organised by the poolside.
The Resort has a clean, big and well-maintained swimming pool which can be used by all guests. All Covid safety protocols are followed at the resort with emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness at all times.
The Panchtattwaa Spa, the in-house spa at the resort is a much sought-after wellness destination in Corbett. Also, there is 24 hrs free Wi-fi everywhere in the resort, making it a perfect staycation destination.
The property has recently added a new category with seven rooms – Villa Rooms. This section is exclusive with nice open views and perfect for a big family exclusive stay.
“We are also enhancing one of our very popular categories – the Jungle Cabana with a complete wilderness experience. The lawns have been extended with tall trees and open space which brings in a slice of Corbett right into your doorsteps. Our focus for the coming year would be to continue delivering a complete Corbett experience to all our guests so that they have an extended stay with us,” highlighted Singh.
Commenting on the prospects of the hospitality industry, Singh said, “In Uttarakhand, we are very optimistic about tourism growth in the coming years. The industry needs to recover from the two-year Covid slump, and there are some positive signs. There is also a need for holistic tourism development. The trend to keep a look out for is Uttarakhand as the new destination wedding hotspot.”
