Vanghat River Lodge, situated on the Ramganga at the edge of the forests of Corbett Tiger Reserve, is part of a community-based tourism initiative that promotes sportfishing. Vanghat lies in total seclusion with the meandering Ramganga virtually cutting it off from human habitation. The river is rich with the spectacular Golden Mahseer and catches of up to 65lb have been recorded in the recent past. The thrill of landing the Mahseer in wild terrain is indescribable as it is a legendary fighter, a trait that has earned it the nickname ´Tiger of the Waters´. With the experience of staying in a forest, Vanghat is a unique wildlife experience and easily ranks as one of the most remote Jungle lodges of India.

We have 5 spacious cottages with large airy windows and a veranda that runs on 3 sides with views of the forest. Keeping in mind the needs of an international traveler, the modern interiors have been designed for maximum comfort. Each cottage has a spacious bedroom, study and attached facilities with running water. Hot water is provided in buckets. A thatched structure closer to the river serves as our campfire area and is a good place to spend the evening. The dining area is built with logs and thatch, offering excellent views.

The lodge is 4 km away from the entrance of the Chimtakhal forest gate. The entire stretch is through dense Sal forests. Half this distance can be covered by jeep on a forest track and the other half is a steep downhill walk that descends into the Ramganga valley. From December to June, there´s an easier access via the suspension bridge at Baluli, from where it´s a gradual 2.5 km walk. After February it is possible to drive into Vanghat on a trail built along the Ramganga that fords in and out of the river.
