Maya The Forest Resort

Even if the tiger stays hidden, you can head back to piping-hot parathas, smiling staff, and a bill that leaves enough rupees for another drive. We’ll be back, hopefully with stripes in the camera roll next time! The resort is budget-friendly without feeling like a backpacker place. Large balcony rooms look over the riverfront and park, and there’s a clean splash pool and a nightly bonfire, all for half the price of big-chain resorts. The chef kitchen serves home-style paneer tikka, food kids enjoy, and chicken curry, with the spice level adjusted up or down straight away. Staff were polite and helpful with our family of four. They even got our car cleaned after the awful road near Moradabad. It's shameful that the transport ministry hasn't acted on the poor roads around such high-profile tourist spots.

Thanks to Asia Trip Holidays(Sofia ji, Disha ji and Vikas Bhaiya) for booking this wonderful resort for us. We visited recently, and the rooms, garden, pool, food, and service were all remarkable. The resort is amazing, and the hospitality was very good. If you're travelling to Jim Corbet, you should stay here.

There's little here beyond a small swimming pool, which felt more like a big tub. Both the property and rooms are quite old and don't justify the prices. I also struggled to use the key to open and lock the room because the doors and locks are worn out. A very ordinary resort, highly avoidable.

The natural surroundings made this a peaceful getaway, and the place itself was beautiful. Our room was comfortable and the food was good. A pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the nature around Jim Corbett 🌿🏞️
