This wellness retreat provides a harmonious blend of yoga, meditation, and spa therapies amidst the lush greenery of Jim Corbett, which makes our resort an ideal location to nourish your inner self.

Plan a Rejuvenating Weekend at The Golden Tusk

Your wellness journey begins the moment you arrive at The Golden Tusk. Surrounded by nature’s untouched beauty, the resort offers a peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you are new to wellness practice or a seasoned yogi, we here deliver you a personalised experience, blending holistic therapies with the tranquillity of the wild.

Day 1: Arrival & Immersion

As soon as you step into The Golden Tusk, the calming energy of the place will surround you. After checking in, take some time to explore the lush green environment. Walk barefoot on the grass, breathe in the fresh air, and feel the gentle breeze across your face—these simple acts of grounding will set the tone for your wellness weekend.

In the evening, delve into a calming session of Hatha Yoga—this ancient form of yoga is ideal for beginners and cutting-edge practitioners alike, focusing on slow, deliberate movement and deep breathing. Practicing yoga outdoors with the sounds of nature as your background improves the experience tenfold. You will feel your body loosen up and your connection with the earth grow stronger.

As the sun sets, it's time for a guided meditation session. Held in a peaceful corner of the resort, under the clear sky, the session will help you unwind and release any lingering stress. The quiet surroundings allow you to focus on your inner self and achieve a state of deep relaxation. This is your time to let go of distractions and embrace the calm that nature offers.

After a nourishing dinner made from locally sourced ingredients, retreat to your luxurious room or tent, allowing yourself to relax completely. The first day at The Golden Tusk is all about grounding yourself and preparing your mind and body for deeper wellness experiences.

Day 2: Dive deeper into wellness

Early on the second day, refreshed and ready to dive deeper into your wellness journey. Start your day with a Vinyasa Flow Yoga session, which focuses on a more dynamic and fluid movement between postures. Practicing this every day early in the morning with the sun rising over the mountain brings unparalleled energy to the session.

After breakfast, it’s time for a more reflective experience with a session of Pranayama—the ancient practice of breath control. Pranayama helps balance your energy and emotions, making you feel centered and revitalized. Practiced in the tranquil gardens of The Golden Tusk, surrounded by the sounds of nature, Pranayama takes on a whole new level of calmness.

After your spa therapy, enjoy a light, healthy lunch. The in-house restaurant offers an array of delicious, wellness-focused dishes made from fresh, organic ingredients. The food not only nourishes your body but also complements your wellness routine by keeping you energised and balanced.

In the afternoon, you can explore more of the surrounding nature with a guided walk through the nearby forest. Walking among ancient trees and breathing in the clean, fresh air offers a form of natural therapy in itself. Being in nature has a scientifically proven calming effect on the brain, reducing anxiety and boosting your overall mood.

As evening approaches, it’s time for another calming meditation session—this time focusing on mindfulness. Practicing mindfulness in nature encourages you to stay in the moment, feel the earth beneath your feet, listen to the sounds of the wilderness, and fully immerse yourself in your surroundings.

The evening winds down with a gentle yoga session, followed by a soothing herbal tea under the stars. As you sit back and reflect on your day, you’ll notice the profound sense of peace and relaxation that has settled in.

Day 3: Embrace the Calm

On your final day at The Golden Tusk, the morning begins with Yin Yoga, a slow-paced practice that targets deep connective tissues and encourages inner reflection. This practice helps release tension stored in your body and leaves you feeling deeply relaxed. As you hold each pose for an extended period, the surrounding nature becomes a silent witness to your internal journey.

Follow up your yoga with another meditation session, this time focusing on gratitude. Reflect on your wellness journey, the experiences you've had, and the beauty of nature surrounding you. This meditation helps you cultivate a deep sense of appreciation and joy.

Before you depart, take advantage of one last spa therapy—perhaps a Swedish massage, designed to release tension and improve circulation, or a foot reflexology session, perfect for grounding and rejuvenating your body after a weekend of activity.

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll leave The Golden Tusk feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to carry the sense of peace and wellness you’ve cultivated back into your daily life.
