Marriott Hotels announced the opening of Jim Corbett Marriott Resort & Spa in the pristine wilderness of Uttarakhand.

Surrounded by dense forests and winding rivers, the 99-key hideaway offers a unique immersive connection to wildlife and the serenity of nature. Located on the banks of river Kosi, the retreat is a gateway to jungle safaris, nature walks, birdwatching excursions, guided village tours and an introduction to the vibrant culture, traditions and Kumaoni cuisine of the region.
