5 Riverside Experiences at Excel

15 March 2026 · Wildlife · 4 min read

Breakfast on the sands, a bonfire at the water's edge, and four more reasons our Corbett houses sit where they do.

The Kosi shapes everything at our Corbett properties — the light, the temperature, the sound you fall asleep to. Here are five ways to spend time beside it.

A breakfast hamper laid out on the river sands, with coffee kept warm in flasks and nobody else in sight for a kilometre in either direction.

An evening bonfire on the bank, where the water carries sound differently and conversations run later than intended.

A guided bird walk along the water, where kingfishers, hornbills and winter migrants are visible before eight in the morning.

A candlelit dinner for two on the deck, and finally, an afternoon of doing nothing at all with your feet in cold mountain water.
