About Open Lawn 2
A Natural Canvas for Open-Air Events
Open Lawn 2 at The Wild Crest Resort is an open-air event lawn set within the resort's verdant grounds in Dhikuli, Ramnagar — a destination that sits at the gateway to Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand. The space draws its character from its surroundings: lush greenery, fresh forest air, and the unhurried calm that defines this stretch of the Kumaon foothills. Unlike urban banquet halls or hotel conference rooms, Open Lawn 2 offers the rare combination of a dedicated outdoor event surface framed by nature, making every gathering feel both special and grounded.
The lawn's open-sky setting lends itself naturally to daytime and evening events alike. As the sun sets over the forested landscape, the space takes on a warm, atmospheric quality that no amount of indoor décor can replicate. Lighting rigs, floral mandaps, and themed décor installations all stand out vividly against the natural backdrop, giving event stylists and décor teams a genuinely versatile canvas to work with.
Events & Occasions
Open Lawn 2 is well suited to a broad range of celebrations and gatherings. Destination weddings are among the most popular events hosted here — couples travelling from across India choose Dhikuli precisely because it offers a resort setting that feels a world away from busy city venues, while remaining accessible via Ramnagar. The lawn accommodates wedding ceremonies, receptions, sangeet nights, and mehendi functions, each of which benefits from the outdoor format and the resort's natural aesthetic.
Beyond weddings, the space is equally appropriate for corporate retreats, team-building events, and social gatherings such as milestone birthday parties and anniversary celebrations. The resort environment encourages guests to relax and engage with one another in a way that a conventional conference or banquet setting rarely achieves. Groups visiting for corporate offsites often pair the event lawn with the resort's other recreational offerings to create a multi-day programme.
Families celebrating milestones, reunion groups, and leisure travellers hosting private dinners also find the lawn a fitting venue, particularly during the cooler months — roughly October through March — when Uttarakhand's weather is at its most comfortable for outdoor events.
