(Accessibility – The First Hurdle)
Now, I’m not a wheelchair user, but I always pay attention to accessibility. Thankfully, the hotel does advertise "Facilities for disabled guests." The problem? It's a bit of a mixed bag. The website and marketing material didn't really dig in to these details.
The main areas, like the restaurant and common spaces, seemed fairly manageable, with ramps where needed. Rooms? I couldn't personally assess their accessibility but I hope they fulfill all needs.
(The Restaurant & Food: Where the Jungle Meets the Plate)
Right, let's talk food. Because, let's face it, a vacation's success hinges on the sustenance. The biggest win here was definitely the “Breakfast [buffet].” Now, I love a good hotel breakfast. Tarangi Ramganga? They nailed it. There was "Asian breakfast" options, "Western breakfast" options with the standard toast and eggs but there were traditional Indian options such as paratha and some delicious chole. The Buffet in restaurant had a wide selection of both. They had a "Coffee shop" too and it served good coffee.
However, there was a slight hiccup (and this is where the “messy” part comes in). I ordered room service one night. Now, I'm not a picky eater. But when I ordered a burger (my usual travel comfort food) and it arrived basically cold… well, let’s just say my inner critic took over. The "Room service [24-hour]" is a plus, of course, but the burger experience was… underwhelming.
I have to confess, I didn't sample the "Asian cuisine in restaurant," or the "Western cuisine in restaurant" extensively. I was too busy enjoying the "Salad in restaurant" and the "Soup in restaurant."
(Things to Do, Ways to Relax…or, How I Found My Zen (Eventually))
Here's where Tarangi Ramganga shines. They have a "Swimming pool" (outdoor, mind you, and with an amazing "Pool with view"). It was glorious. Seriously. Just imagine floating in cool water, surrounded by lush greenery – pure bliss.
Then there's the "Spa/sauna." That "Body scrub," I tried it. I'm pretty sure I'm still glowing. Okay, maybe not, but it was wonderfully relaxing! The "Sauna" was excellent too. They have a "Gym/fitness" area. Me? I mostly stuck to the pool and the "Foot bath." Okay, maybe the "Foot bath" was more because I'd been walking around in the jungle all day… but still, relaxing!
They even have a "Fitness center" for the truly ambitious.
(Cleanliness and Safety – The New Normal)
Let's be real: travel in the post-pandemic world requires a deep dive into safety protocols. Tarangi Ramganga seemed to be taking it seriously. There was "Hand sanitizer" everywhere, "Daily disinfection in common areas," and the staff were always masked. They had "Professional-grade sanitizing services" listed. "Room sanitization opt-out available". They listed "Individually-wrapped food options," and "Safe dining setup." I noticed “First aid kit,” and “Doctor/nurse on call” available.
(Rooms and Amenities: The Good, the Not-So-Bad)
My room ("Non-smoking," thank goodness!) was spacious, with a "Seating area," a "Sofa," and a "Desk" that actually made working comfortable. The "Air conditioning" was a lifesaver. The "Blackout curtains" were perfect for sleeping off the jungle exhaustion, and the "Separate shower/bathtub" was a nice touch. There were the usual suspects: "Coffee/tea maker," "Free bottled water," and, of course, "Wi-Fi [free]" (though, admittedly, the connection was a bit… erratically patchy at times).
The "Complimentary tea" was a nice touch, as was the "Daily housekeeping."
I loved the "Balcony" and the "Window that opens" to let in fresh air. The "Additional toilet" was a nice surprise. The "Mirror" was great.
They offered "Bathrobes", "Slippers", it felt luxurious.
(Services and Conveniences: Beyond the Basics)
The hotel offers a bunch of services. The "Car park [free of charge]" was definitely a plus. They have "Laundry service," "Ironing service," and a "Dry cleaning." The "Concierge" was helpful with booking activities.
They had "Cash withdrawal" and a "Currency exchange."
(For the Kids – Family Friendly?)
The hotel promotes itself as "Family/child friendly" and has "Kids facilities" and a "Babysitting service." Unfortunately, I didn't travel with children, so I can't speak to the specifics of these.
(Getting Around – The Jungle Taxi)
I did not use the "Airport transfer" or "Taxi service". I had my own car.
(The Really Honest Part… the Quirks and the Imperfect Moments)
Okay, here’s where things get interesting. This place isn't perfect.
- The Internet: As I mentioned earlier, the Wi-Fi was sometimes… temperamental. I spent a lot of time rebooting the router (or trying to). It wasn't a deal-breaker, but it definitely tested my patience.
- The Minor Details: There were a few minor things that could be improved. Some light bulbs flickered. The hot water took a while to arrive. The pathways could use a little more signage.
- The Soundproofing: This is a big one. While the "Soundproof rooms" are advertised, I have to say, I could sometimes hear… things. Animals, for example. Especially at night. Which, I guess, is part of the jungle experience. But still…!
(The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
It's a mixed bag, folks. The WelcomHeritage Tarangi Ramganga has incredible potential. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. The location within the Corbett wilderness is gorgeous. The pool and spa are fantastic. The breakfast is amazing.
Would I go back? Maybe. It’s not a flawless experience, but the good definitely outweighs the few imperfections. It requires a little bit of… well, adventurous spirit. If you're looking for a perfectly polished, sterile hotel experience, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a place to be, to experience the wilderness, unwind in nature, and maybe even… embrace a little bit of comfortable imperfection, then this could be your escape. Just remember to bring your own jungle-proof Wi-Fi router (kidding… mostly).

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. We're talkin' real travel, the kind that leaves you with a sunburn, a slightly questionable stomach, and a whole heap of stories to tell. This is my, uh, attempt at a trip to the WelcomHeritage Tarangi Ramganga Resort in Corbett. Consider this your slightly-off-kilter, completely unfiltered guide:
Day 1: Arrival – Jungle Fever (and a dash of "what did I just sign up for?")
Morning (or rather, whenever the Delhi traffic gods decide to unclog) - Travel from Delhi to Corbett: Okay, so the drive. Let's just say it involved more honking than I'd like and a constant internal dialogue of "are we there yet?" After a hell of a long drive, we finally stumbled into WelcomHeritage Tarangi Ramganga Resort. It was beautiful, like something out of a magazine. Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice. Lush green everywhere, the Ramganga River whispering its secrets (or possibly just the sound of the nearby construction guys).
Afternoon - Check-in & Initial Appraisal: The check-in process! Let's just say, after a long drive you just want a room. But the staff were friendly, and there must be a lot of staff, I think. Anyway, the room itself? Solid. Clean, comfortable, and with a balcony that promised epic views (we'll get to that later). My brain was now starting the relaxing process.
Late Afternoon - Exploring & the "Oh, Wow" Moment: Immediately, I headed out to explore. This place is HUGE. Huge in a good way. I wasn't expecting this. I'm talking rolling lawns, hidden pathways, and the general feeling of being enveloped by nature. I swear, I could smell the wet earth and the impending thunderstorm (which, by the way, never materialised). The real "Oh, Wow" moment came when I wandered down to the edge of the Ramganga River. The water was flowing fast and the light was shimmering off it. Utterly transportive. This is what I came for.
Evening - Dinner & The Mosquito Squadron: The buffet was decent, but the mosquito brigade had already started their patrols. I swear, they're out for blood! The food was pretty good and the outdoor seating was an absolute no for me. I hid behind a tree.
Day 2: Safari Shenanigans & Riverbank Rambles (and a near-disaster with a jeep)
Early Morning - Safari Trauma & Triumph: The safari was an adventure. We were supposed to be out early! But our jeep… Well, it made some concerning noises. But our driver, bless his soul, nursed that thing all over the forest and we were off. The forest, its just so big!! We did see a tiger's pug marks, which was thrilling and terrifying all at once. If I see a tiger, I'm running the other way! We came back in one piece, which is a win, although I think my back might need a chiropractor.
Mid-Morning - River Walk & The Joy of Isolation: Post-safari, I just needed some peace. So, I walked along the river again. This time, I actually sat and just listened to the water. I read for an hour or so, watched the birds. It was pure bliss. I let the noise of the forest wash over me. I felt happy.
Afternoon - Lunch & the Pursuit of the Perfect Chai: Lunch was, as usual, pretty good, but the chai… the chai was the real hero. I asked for about five a day, and I think I might keep asking for more.
Evening - Bonfire & The Ghosts of Stories: After a good, long nap, there was a bonfire. I usually hate these things, but I was surprised. There were some stories and some laughs, and I actually felt part of the group.
Day 3: Leaving, but remembering…
- Morning - Strolling One Last Time & Deep Breathing: I sat on the balcony, and just deep breathed.
- Afternoon - Departure: The drive back felt a lot longer now.
Final Verdict:
Would I go back? Absolutely. Will I be better prepared next time? Maybe. But, honestly, it was perfect. It messed up, got hot, it got boring and great and tiring, and so much more. It's just what I needed.
