About Club Lawn
An Open-Air Lawn in the Foothills of the Himalayas
Club Lawn is the dedicated outdoor event space at Manu Maharani Resorts & Spa, set within the resort's lush, verdant grounds in Dhikuli, on the edge of Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand. The lawn offers a natural, open-air setting framed by the rich forest canopy and fresh mountain air that define this part of the Kumaon foothills. The atmosphere is distinctly unhurried and immersive — far removed from the polished interiors of a city banquet hall — making it a compelling choice for events where the landscape itself is part of the experience. Whether lit softly for an evening reception or laid out simply for a daytime gathering, the Club Lawn carries an inherent elegance that comes from its surroundings rather than from ornament.
Events & Occasions the Space Suits
Club Lawn is well suited to a broad range of celebratory and corporate occasions. Its open layout and natural backdrop make it a popular choice for destination weddings and wedding-related functions — sangeet evenings, mehendi ceremonies, cocktail receptions, and post-wedding brunches all translate beautifully to an outdoor lawn setting in this kind of resort environment. The space also works well for corporate offsites, team-building retreats, product launches, and sundowner events, where the Jim Corbett surroundings give delegates a sense of escape that a conventional conference centre cannot replicate. Social celebrations — milestone birthdays, anniversary parties, and family reunions — are equally well served by the informal warmth of an outdoor lawn that can be dressed up or kept simple depending on the occasion. The resort's hospitality team can assist with planning and coordinate with décor, catering, and entertainment vendors to bring an event together cohesively.
Location and How to Reach the Venue
Manu Maharani Resorts & Spa is located in Dhikuli, a village that sits just at the entry zone of Jim Corbett National Park in the Ramnagar region of Uttarakhand. Ramnagar, the nearest town and railway station, is only a short drive from the resort, making arrivals from Delhi and other major cities straightforward — the drive from Delhi typically takes around five to six hours via NH 9. The nearest airport is Pantnagar Airport, which is approximately 80 kilometres from the resort. The Jim Corbett location is itself a draw: guests travelling for a destination wedding or corporate retreat can combine their event with a wildlife safari experience, making the stay genuinely memorable. The resort's forest-edge setting means that event guests are immersed in natural surroundings from the moment they arrive, giving the Club Lawn and the broader property an atmosphere that city-based venues simply cannot offer.

Outdoor lawns at resort properties in natural settings like Jim Corbett may have guidelines around décor to protect the landscape and wildlife-adjacent environment — for example, restrictions on certain lighting types, fireworks, or single-use plastics. Hosts are encouraged to confirm décor permissions and any specific guidelines with the resort before finalising vendors.
