Riverine
Woods, earlier known as Van Ghat River Lodge was
established in 2003. A fishing and wildlife conservation
lodge was set up on the bank of the Ramganga River
near the Corbett Tiger Reserve in Uttaranchal, Northern
India.
The resort, fully aware of its surroundings and
responsibilities to the community, has provided
employment opportunities for a number of local people,
and through this arrangement, has established some
of the best managed Mahseer fishing beats in the
state. As a direct consequence of the improved fish
stocks, the surrounding ecosystem has dramatically
improved, with the return of otters and turtles
- creatures which have not been seen for some years.
The resort officially opened in November 2005, comprises
of five cottages of locally sourced materials, and
is able to provide a comprehensive outdoor orientated
experience for visitors, whilst at the same time
offering the opportunity to find complete tranquillity
and seclusion. |
