Just a few kilometres from
the famous Jim Corbett National Park,
admist enchanting foothills of the Shivalik range,
alongside a stream is Kyari... in the lap of nature
a picturesque village full of natural
vibrance and wilderness experience.
Ride on a tractor or a
bullock cart, interact with the local craft persons, sample local
cuisines and participate in village festivals and songs, stay under
thatched roofs in mud huts, eat sumptuous food fresh from fire ovens,
indulge in a multitude of outdoor activities like trekking, rappelling,
mountain biking, river crossing, bird watching and wildlife safaris.
Or else, just relax and soak in the
solitude at our Chaupal or spend the evenings under the starlit skies
listening to the sounds of the jungle. If you feel more adventurous we
can even organise trips to the Corbett National Park or to nearby
scenic tourist locations.
Over 125 years ago a migrant farmer
chanced upon this beautiful place. Due to the extremely fertile land
and abundance of water, he liked it so much that he decided to settle
here. Soon other families from his former abode joined him and named
their new home “Kyari” which means a small fertile piece of land full
of flora and fauna. At present more than 100 families make up the
village Kyari.
Kyari is home to five small and big
rivers including the main river “Khichdi”. During the time of the
British Raj the village was under 55:45 category of Lagaan. There have
been a world of change since then, the village however, has maintained
its rich traditions and customs till date.
