About Main lawn
The Main Lawn at Manu Maharani Resorts & Spa
Framed by the forest ridgelines of the Kumaon foothills, the Main Lawn at Manu Maharani Resorts & Spa is an expansive open-air event space that brings together the natural grandeur of the Corbett region with the polish of a full-service resort. Set within the resort's lush property in Dhikuli — the gateway village to Jim Corbett National Park — the lawn offers a setting that is genuinely hard to replicate: open skies overhead, the ambient sounds of the surrounding wilderness, and a backdrop of dense Sal forest that no ballroom décor budget could rival. Whether guests arrive from Ramnagar railway station or make the drive from Delhi, the journey into this forest landscape sets the tone for an event that feels both celebratory and unhurried.
Events & Occasions
The Main Lawn is well suited to the full range of milestone events: destination weddings, pre-wedding ceremonies such as mehndi and sangeet, corporate retreats and team-building programmes, milestone birthday celebrations, and social gatherings where an outdoor canvas is the whole point. The open format of the lawn means it can be configured for intimate affairs or larger gatherings, with a décor and seating arrangement that the resort's events team can assist with adapting to the occasion. For destination weddings in particular, the Corbett region has become a sought-after alternative to the more crowded hill-station wedding circuits, and the Main Lawn captures exactly the wildland-resort atmosphere that draws couples to this part of Uttarakhand. Corporate groups find that the combination of a functional outdoor event space and the resort's other recreational offerings — including wildlife safari access to Jim Corbett National Park nearby — makes Manu Maharani a compelling incentive and retreat destination.
Location & Accessibility
Manu Maharani Resorts & Spa sits in Dhikuli, Uttarakhand, placing it on the fringe of Jim Corbett National Park — one of India's oldest and most celebrated wildlife reserves. Ramnagar, the nearest major town and railway station, is a short drive from the property, making the resort reachable by train from Delhi, Kathgodam, and other northern rail hubs, with onward road transfers readily available. For guests flying in, Pantnagar Airport is the closest airfield, while Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi serves as the primary long-haul gateway for those combining the event with a longer stay. The Dhikuli location means the property is immersed in forest rather than the congestion of a town centre, giving the Main Lawn its defining quality: natural seclusion without sacrificing resort-grade convenience. Guests attending an event here experience the rare pleasure of stepping out of a gala dinner or a wedding reception directly into the cool forest air of the Terai foothills — a detail that repeatedly distinguishes Corbett-region events from those held in urban banquet halls or conventional hill-station venues.
