Arundel is an event venue at The Riverview Retreat, Corbett — a boutique wildlife and nature retreat set in Dhikuli, Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, on the fringes of Jim Corbett National Park. The Riverview Retreat is part of the Leisure Hotels collection, a group known for curating experiential stays in India's most scenic destinations. Arundel sits within this carefully landscaped property, where the natural surroundings — dense sal forests, the Kosi river corridor, and the ambient sounds of the wilderness — form an atmospheric backdrop that no urban banquet hall can replicate.
The space carries the calm, unhurried character of its setting. Earthy tones, natural materials, and thoughtful design details reflect the retreat's philosophy of blending comfort with the outdoors. Whether it is a daytime gathering lit by Uttarakhand's clear skies or an evening event under a canopy of stars, Arundel offers an ambience that feels purposeful rather than generic — ideal for groups who want their event to feel like an occasion rather than a function.
Arundel is well suited to a range of gatherings that benefit from a resort setting away from the city. Intimate destination weddings and pre-wedding celebrations find a natural home here, where the forest-edged landscape adds visual drama to ceremonies and receptions without requiring elaborate artificial décor. The setting lends itself equally well to corporate retreats, leadership offsites, team-building programmes, and incentive trips — the kind of events where getting people out of the office environment is itself part of the agenda.
Social celebrations — milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions — also translate well to a venue like Arundel, where guests can combine the event with a wildlife experience at one of India's most celebrated national parks. Jim Corbett National Park, accessible from Dhikuli, draws travellers from across the country and internationally, making this a memorable destination for multi-day event formats. The Leisure Hotels group's experience across nature-based properties means the events team understands the specific requirements of retreat-format gatherings.
The Riverview Retreat is located in Dhikuli, one of the zones closest to the park's most active gate areas, making it genuinely convenient for guests arriving for both the event and a Corbett safari experience. Ramnagar, the nearest town and railway junction, is a short drive from the property, keeping logistics manageable for event groups travelling by train from Delhi or other northern cities. For those flying in, Pantnagar Airport is the closest airstrip, with Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi serving as the main long-distance hub.
Choosing Arundel means choosing a venue where the destination does much of the storytelling. The wilderness proximity, riverside setting, and the Leisure Hotels group's reputation for hospitality create a foundation that suits planners who want their event to be remembered long after the last guest has left.

The property sits on the edge of Jim Corbett National Park in Dhikuli, Ramnagar, which means a wedding here comes with a genuinely dramatic natural backdrop of sal forests and the Kosi river corridor — scenery that reduces the need for heavy artificial décor. Guests can also combine the wedding with a Corbett safari experience, making the entire trip memorable beyond the ceremony itself.
