Why Manovan Is Among the Best Resorts in Jim Corbett
Updated: August 2026
"Best resort in Jim Corbett" gets thrown around a lot — but a handful of things actually separate a genuinely good stay from an average one: the kitchen, the rooms, the facilities, and how the location balances access with peace and quiet. Here's what to look for, and where Manovan Resort stands on each.
What to Look for in the Best Resorts in Jim Corbett
- Kitchen type — a fully dedicated vegetarian or Jain kitchen if that matters to you, not just a vegetarian menu cooked in a shared kitchen.
- Room design — thoughtfully designed rooms rather than one-size-fits-all layouts, with real variety across categories.
- Genuine facilities — a swimming pool, event or banquet spaces, and wellness areas that are actually usable, not just listed on a brochure.
- Location balance — close enough to Jim Corbett National Park for an easy visit, without losing a quiet, forest-facing feel.
- Flexible, straightforward booking — clear check-in policies and a team that makes arrival simple.
Pure Vegetarian & Jain Kitchen
Manovan Resort runs a fully dedicated pure vegetarian, multi-cuisine kitchen — Indian, Continental and Chinese — with Jain meals available on request. Many resorts in the region offer vegetarian dishes from a shared kitchen; a dedicated one is less common, and it's a real differentiator for guests who care about it. See the full pure veg and Jain dining menu.
Rooms Designed Around the Seven Chakras & Five Elements
Manovan Resort offers 10 thoughtfully designed rooms across three categories — Deluxe Rooms, Executive Rooms with a bathtub, and Premium Rooms with a private balcony — each inspired by the harmony of nature and the philosophy of the seven chakras and five elements, rather than a generic hotel layout. Browse rooms & suites for details on each category.
Real Facilities, Not Just a Brochure List
A swimming pool, banquet and event spaces, and a dedicated yoga and meditation lawn round out the property — useful for a family holiday, a couple's getaway, or a corporate offsite. See the full list of resort facilities.
Close to the Park, Without Losing the Quiet
Manovan Resort is about 15 Km from Jim Corbett National Park, 12 Km from Garjiya Devi Temple, 10 Km from both the Kosi River and Shri Hanuman Dham, and around 14 Km from Ramnagar Railway Station — close enough for easy access, while the forest-facing setting keeps it from feeling like a resort built purely around foot traffic.

Where Manovan Resort Stands Out
Put together, a dedicated vegetarian and Jain kitchen, chakra-and-elements-inspired room design across three real categories, genuine pool and banquet facilities, and a location that balances access with peace are what put Manovan Resort among the best resorts in Jim Corbett — not just a claim on a homepage, but specifics you can check room by room and menu by menu.
