The Space & Its Character

Kosi Deck is an open-air event deck at The Riverview Retreat, Corbett, positioned to make the most of the property's riverside setting along the Kosi river in Dhikuli, Ramnagar, Uttarakhand. The deck draws its identity from its natural surroundings — the sound of flowing water, the forest canopy of the Corbett landscape, and the open sky above give it an atmosphere that no banquet hall can replicate. It is a venue that does the heavy lifting with its setting alone, offering a backdrop that is equal parts wild and refined. For planners seeking a space that moves guests before a single flower arrangement is placed, Kosi Deck makes a compelling case.

The deck format means guests experience the event outdoors without sacrificing a defined, structured event space. The natural light transitions beautifully from golden afternoon into a starlit evening, making it equally well-suited to daytime functions and dinners held under the open sky. The Kosi river runs alongside the property, and the sound and proximity of the water are woven into every event held here.

Events & Occasions

Kosi Deck suits a wide range of events, from intimate destination weddings and pre-wedding celebrations such as mehendi and sangeet evenings, to corporate retreats, team off-sites, and milestone social gatherings. The Jim Corbett region has become a sought-after destination for corporate groups looking to combine meaningful programming with an immersive natural environment, and the deck format supports both structured sessions and relaxed social formats within the same setting.

For weddings in particular, the riverside location adds a dramatic and romantic quality to ceremonies and receptions. Couples choosing a destination wedding in the Corbett belt are often drawn here precisely because the landscape does something that urban ballrooms cannot — it grounds the event in a sense of place. Social events such as birthday gatherings and anniversary dinners also find the deck well-suited, given the intimacy that an outdoor riverside setting naturally encourages.

The overall scale and configuration of events that the deck can host are best confirmed directly with The Riverview Retreat's events team, as capacity and layout options depend on the event type and setup style.

Location & Accessibility

The Riverview Retreat is located in Dhikuli, one of the gateway villages to Jim Corbett National Park, within the Ramnagar administrative area of Uttarakhand. Ramnagar Railway Station is the nearest major railhead, and the property is a short drive from there, making it accessible for guests travelling from Delhi and other northern cities. The Corbett region is approximately 260 to 270 kilometres from Delhi, and the drive via NH 9 is a well-established route for weekend and destination travellers.

The Dhikuli location places guests within easy reach of the park's Bijrani and Jhirna zones, adding a wildlife experience dimension to any multi-day event stay. For event planners, this means that a corporate retreat or destination wedding at Kosi Deck can be complemented with jungle safaris and nature activities, creating a programme that extends well beyond the event itself.
