Destination Weddings at The Banyan Retreat, Jim Corbett
Grand lawns, indoor halls and 140 rooms inside one forest estate in Jim Corbett.
Introduction
A Forest Estate Built for Large Celebrations
The Banyan Retreat sits within a wide, wooded estate in Jim Corbett, where five lawns, indoor halls and a courtyard allow every function of the wedding to be given a setting of its own.
With 140 rooms, in-house catering and a dedicated production team, the whole celebration — ceremonies, stay and dining — stays in one place, so no one travels between functions.
