The sun is hot here. Unlike the typical weather of the Himalayan foothills, Jim Corbett region in Uttarakhand is humid. Lying by the turquoise-colored pool, I can see the eucalyptuses dappling in the late afternoon sun.
Aahana, the eco-conscious resort at Jim Corbett Wild Reserve, where we are halting, is one of the very few places in this part of the state, where luxury is literally taken seriously.
