Tanhau was born out of our desire to find peace away from the concrete jungles that our cities are. It is a haven to enjoy nature & wildlife away from other tourists. We are in a constant process of reforesting the property & the area with the aim of letting the wilderness back in again.
Located on top of a hill at an altitude of ~4,200 feet, Tanhau overlooks the reserve forests of Corbett Tiger Reserve & the winding Kosi river, & has arguably the most spectacular view in the Corbett area.
Is Tanhau everyone’s cup of tea? Perhaps not. If you’re looking for a regular family holiday with manicured lawns, swimming pool, spa & loud music in the evenings, then Tanhau would disappoint you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a chance to experience nature & wildlife in a way few others can, then look no further. We are blessed to enjoy a huge variety of bird & animal life, some of them otherwise unrecorded in the Corbett area, and enjoy sharing our experiences with interested people.
We only have three guest cottages at Tanhau as our attempt is to make your stay with us as personalized as possible. Six people can fit in comfortably in Tanhau.
Tanhau is a destination like no other in the Corbett area. You could take a thrilling walk through prime tiger habitat during the day, enjoy sundowners while listening to sambar deer alarm calls from the thick forest below, dine al fresco while counting shooting stars in the night sky; or you could choose instead to simply enjoy the peace & spectacular view with a book & wholesome soul food instead. The options we can offer are myriad, and some are ones that are truly unique.
