It was a quiet place off the highway, but very close to the national park entrance. Imran made us feel at home and made us feel like extra special guests.

Imranji is extremely knowledgeable and takes very good care of his guests.

Everything was good about this property.

The accommodation was a homestay with large, comfortable rooms and balconies, and home-cooked meals for breakfast and dinner.

This was the first time I’ve had a tour guide fall asleep while leading a tour. When you book accommodation at The Rangers Lodge, it’s because you’re also booking a safari at Corbett National Park with Imran as your guide. Because we booked our stay through Booking.com and not a travel agency, and opted for shared safaris over private safaris, we paid less and were treated as irritants by Imran. On our safari he actually said to me, “I’m here for them,” meaning the couple who had paid travel agency fees. We did not visit the park areas that were listed at the time of booking, and although Imran had said he was excited to share the wildlife experience with my 10 year old child, we came out of it with little more than the names of the birds and few types of animals we were able to see. We watched a tiger video from 2005 on his laptop. I recommend seeking a friendly, energetic guide who doesn’t nap while on safari, for your visit to Corbett.
