Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Jim Corbett is a 5-star resort at Village Kyari, Tehsil Salt, on the Ramnagar-Betalghat road in the Almora district of Uttarakhand. It opened in 2022 and holds 62 individually furnished rooms. Unlike the riverside resorts clustered around Dhikuli, this is a hilltop property overlooking the Kosi valley and the lower Himalayan ranges, so the appeal is as much about elevation and views as about the national park. As an ITC Welcomhotel it sits in the premium tier, blending wildlife-trip access with a quieter, scenic mountain retreat.
The trade-off for the setting is distance: the property is further from the park gates and the railhead than the Dhikuli resorts, which suits travellers prioritising views and seclusion over proximity to safaris.
The hilltop location means longer transfers. Pantnagar Airport (PGH) is roughly 130 km away, around a three-and-a-half-hour drive, and runs only limited flights, so most guests arrive from Delhi, around 290 km and a six-to-seven-hour drive. Ramnagar railway station, the nearest convenient railhead, is roughly 30 km from the resort, well connected to Delhi by direct trains. The Jim Corbett National Park is around 16 km off, about a 45-minute drive to the gates. The resort arranges transfers and safari logistics, and the winding hill road is part of the experience.
The 62 rooms are individually furnished across categories from Deluxe and Premium Rooms to Suites and Premium Suites. The headline feature is the outlook: rooms are oriented towards the Kosi valley and the lower Himalayan ranges, with the higher categories offering the widest views. Rooms come with air-conditioning, contemporary furnishings, flat-screen televisions, tea and coffee facilities and modern bathrooms, in line with ITC Welcomhotel standards. The hilltop position gives most rooms an open aspect rather than a forest-enclosed one.
Welcomcafe is the alfresco-style all-day dining restaurant, set to take in the views of the Kosi valley and the surrounding ranges while serving a range of cuisines across the day. A bar handles drinks and lighter fare. Given the remote, hilltop location with little dining nearby, the in-house venues cover guests' needs, and the open-air setting of the cafe, looking over the valley, is one of the property's signatures.
The standout facility is the infinity swimming pool, positioned to appear to merge with the valley view. There is a spa offering massages and treatments and a fitness centre. The resort runs nature walks and guided activities, has children's activities, and offers banquet and event spaces for weddings and corporate offsites. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout. The mountain setting, pool and spa together make this a property where the resort itself, not just the safari, is the reason to stay.
The Jim Corbett National Park remains the main excursion, with jeep safaris from gates around 16 km away offering chances to spot tigers, elephants, deer and birdlife. The Dhangarhi Museum, near a park entrance, is about 20 km off, and the riverside Garjiya Devi Temple is around 26 km. Closer to home, the resort's hilltop location lends itself to nature walks, birdwatching and simply taking in the valley and Himalayan views, with the Mandal River area around 33 km away for those wanting to explore further.
Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Jim Corbett suits couples and travellers who prize scenery and seclusion — a hilltop resort with an infinity pool and valley views — alongside access to Corbett safaris. It is well suited to those wanting a quieter premium retreat and is a strong choice for honeymoons and small destination weddings. Travellers who want to be as close as possible to the park gates, or who prefer a riverside setting, may find the Dhikuli-area resorts more convenient given this property's greater distance from the railhead and zones.
