It was a really nice stay at Corbett Rajae Homestay. Loved the hospitality — felt very warm and welcoming. The welcome drink was awesome, very refreshing after the travel. I really liked the vibe of the place, full of greenery and plants all around. The location is peaceful and remote, perfect if you're looking to relax in the lap of nature. There's a river stream just a short walk away. Food was tasty and homely, and the caretaker was also very helpful. One special thing was the bird-watching tour by the owner, Shiwank. He’s a true bird lover. Had some great conversations with him — very friendly and passionate about nature. Overall, had a great experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to take a peaceful break from city life into nature. ~ Sushant K

The Corbett Rajea Homestay ,☆☆☆☆☆ !!!!!. Thank you Shiwank and family, including your staff, for the perfect 4 days in youryourc accommodation. Locally purchased vegetarian food 3 times a day, coffee, water or tea, and a cookie. Your information and help for money exchange, tickets for Jim Corbett park, a safari jeep. The safari with monkeys, flowers, trees, elephants, birds, deer, and a Tiger ;-). Our conversations by the fire and during hikes about our cultures, relationships, and religions have given me a more intimate view of you, your family, hometown, India and myself. Greatfull, serice with a big S ! ! Franck van Teeffelen + ☆. WIFI! ~ frank v

Me and my family had the pleasure of staying at Rajae Homestay for 3 days and 2 nights, and it was an unforgettable experience! Pradeep bhayya (the caretaker) was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The room was cozy, clean, and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The homemade pahadi meals were delicious and plentiful. What truly sets this homestay apart, however, is the genuine warmth and kindness of the people. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, from helping us with our baby to sharing local insights and stories. The place is very beautiful, calm and quiet, my baby enjoyed it a lot - was actually pretty sad when we reached home! We were sent home with their home grown haldi powder and food 🩷 If you're looking for a authentic, homely experience, look no further than Rajae Homestay. I highly recommend it! ~ G P

The best homestay and the warmest hospitality I’ve ever experienced. At Corbett Rajae Homestay, everything felt just like home — from cozy rooms and peaceful surroundings to soulful food, with special meals and desserts lovingly prepared by Pradip Bhaiya that made every meal memorable. The heritage village walk felt beautifully real, allowing us to truly connect with the community and understand their simple way of life. Shiwang’s grounded nature and exceptional zeal to host made the experience deeply meaningful — he is a bundle of stories about birds, animals, forests, and village life, and through him I felt truly connected to the wildlife and nature around us. Life there felt peaceful, simple, and truly alive, and practicing yoga in the forest was a blessing for me. Spending time in the serene surroundings of Kalagarh Tiger Reserve, Rathuwadhab region, has been one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. 🌿 ~ Priyanka M

If you love nature, peace, and real experiences, The Corbett Rajae Homestay is the perfect getaway. Nestled in the Kalagarh Tiger Reserve, this homestay offers cozy rooms, scenic views, and immersive wildlife experiences far from the touristy chaos.

The home-cooked Garhwali and Kumaoni food adds to the warmth of this place. With no loud music or crowds, just the sounds of nature, this is the best stay near Jim Corbett for those seeking peace, adventure, and authenticity. ~ Digital C

This place is a welcome change from the commercialisation of vacations in India. Shiwank, the owner makes sure that your time here is as memorable as it can be and the staff are equally enthusiastic about your stay. We stayed here for a night and the owner graciously set up a private bonfire for us on the terrace. The views were mesmerising and the hospitality was unmatched. We were also taken on a private trip to a nearby secluded waterfall which was definitely a highlight of our entire trip. If you get an opportunity to visit Jim Corbett (The Vatanvasa gate is about 7 kms from there) or if you just want to get away from the big city you are staying in for a quieter place, simply book a stay here and you will not be disappointed. The food is home-cooked and leaves an amazing taste for days. The hospitality has the potential to leave a mark forever. Best wishes to the entire team and I hope they grow by leaps and bounds. ~ Abhishek T

A caring, creative and deeply conscious of his responsibility to environment is Mr Shivank Negi who runs the homestay. His creativity is visible in those small details one can see from the way he gently shares the expectations from his guests. Food is so yum that you will land up overeating like i did. He is very open to ideas and is passionate about all matters concerning biodiversity, environment, and conservation. I would invite more people to visit his place at Rathuadhab and enjoy the birds, butterflies and others his guides will show you, while enjoying his hospitality. ~ Padmanabhan G

Shiwank puts the 'home' in 'homestay'. He has a way of opening the doors to his village that goes beyond a room to stay. It's a place to come face to face with the things that truly matter in this world - our connect with nature, our communities and ourselves. The rooms are spacious, the linen is clean and the common terrace is a treat for the senses. Note: This is not a place for loud parties or midnight strolls in the dark. It's a classroom overlooking a river, skirted by old forest, where the birds and insects will teach those willing to listen and learn. ~ Bombil R

I visited here with my wife and loved the stay here food has awesome quality if you want to go out of city voices to a silent place then it is the best one to stay. Excellently views, awesome food and service and reasonably budgeted. You can walk through the villages and natural locations around this place and enjoy farming with mountains all around, this place rejuvenates you to the core. Strong recommendation for a trip! Above of all hospitality of staff is awesome. very very cordial. I am sure you will promise yourself to visit here again and again after visited once. ~ Vijay K

When it comes to location and warmth of a home with wholesome meals, Corbett Rajae Homestay at Rathuadhab village wins handsdown. One can bask in the sun in the open terrace dining area overlooking the pristine Kalagarh forest, take off on innumerable birding trails and walks through the pastoral villages. Rajae Homestay's Shiwank, who gave up his cushy job in Bangalore, to run his family place is an excellent host and guide with in depth knowledge of the area and local lore. I would highly recommend this place as a perfect getaway. ~ Indrani R

We stayed here for 2 days. It's an amazing place. Close to nature, awesome mountain views, bird sounds in the morning. We stayed in a private cozy room with attached washroom.

There are a lot of beautiful places around, something on foot, something by bike or car. KTR waterfall is awesome. Quiet and beautiful homestay near the mountains! Highly recommended. ~ AMAN S

The serene, quiet surroundings, free from the usual tourist hustle, make it a paradise for nature lovers. Shivank, the host, is an incredible person—kind, welcoming, and always ensuring you have the best experience. The food? Simply amazing! Every meal feels like home. The drive down the mountain is an adventure in itself—stunning viewpoints, breathtaking scenery, and absolutely no traffic. And the best part? The soothing sounds of birds and wildlife all around, making you feel truly connected to nature. What truly sets Rajae Homestay apart is the personal touch.

The Corbett Rajae Homestay is seriously a hidden gem! Perfectly located in the Kalagarh Tiger Reserve, it gives you that true “in-the-forest” vibe with Sal trees all around. I stayed in a cozy room with a stunning view of the valley—super relaxing and ideal if you're just looking to escape the city hustle. The homestay itself feels like a home away from home but with an extra dose of nature. I loved the terrace, where guests from all over hang out, swapping stories under the stars. And let’s talk about the food—it’s pure, local, home-cooked goodness with Garhwali and Kumaoni dishes that really give you a taste of Uttarakhand. For activities, I couldn’t get enough: went on a safari, hiked to the KTR waterfall (highly recommend!), and even got to float down the river. Each experience felt like an adventure, and the vibe here just keeps you wanting to come back. This is hands-down one of the best budget homestays near Jim Corbett for anyone who loves nature and a peaceful, chill environment. ~ Harit A

I stayed at Raja Homestay for two days, and honestly, it was one of those places where you can just slow down and enjoy the moment. The view from the homestay is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, and the overall vibe of the place is incredibly peaceful. What I loved most was the atmosphere around the property I’d happily give Raja Homestay a 5/5. If you’re looking for a slow, soothing weekend away with friends or family, this is definitely a place I’d recommend. ~ D v
