The most exclusive wildlife retreat in the Dhikala zone.
The Khinnanauli Forest Rest House is widely considered the most premium accommodation within the core area of Jim Corbett National Park. Situated in a vast grassland that is prime territory for the Royal Bengal Tiger, this lodge offers a level of exclusivity and luxury that is rare in forest department facilities. It was originally built as a VIP guest house and continues to attract high-profile wildlife enthusiasts.
Spacious rooms, a calmer campus, and excellent sighting potential make Khinnanauli a premium alternative to the busier Dhikala main lodge.
Because of its grassland surroundings, guests have a high chance of spotting predators and grazing herds near the lodge boundary.
Pair this stay with a day safari in the Dhikala zone and follow with a relaxed evening at a riverside retreat like Riverside Stay in Corbett.
Khinnanauli offers a quieter, more private forest experience, while Dhikala main campus is larger and busier. Both are excellent depending on your preference.
It is around a 40-minute drive from the Dhangarhi gate using a registered park vehicle.
