Visiting Jim Corbett

http://runningandliving.com/corbett/

Getting there:
Drive or take a train or a bus
As you reach RamNagar while coming in from Moradabad, you will come to a T junction – the right fork goes along the Kosi river, towards Ranikhet and the left fork takes you towards Sawaldey Village and the Khara Gate of Corbett Park and is also known as Dhela Road. Turn left and go down about 10km to Sawaldey Village There is a 1.5km narrow mud and pebbled track to reach Mapple Leisure Resort. We would recommend coming from Delhi by the overnight train - Ranikhet express - departure 1040pm from Delhi Junction and arrival Ramnagar at 5am. If you have planned well and got things organised for your jungle visit by your hotel or friends etc - we would ideally suggest that you go on a jungle visit straight from the station - as that starts at 6am, and then post that - freshen up and come to Mapple for the expo and race packet pick up.
Book accommodation and jungle trips early to avoid disappointment, Decide now - this is Corbett's peak season for visitors.

Seems to be a good restaurant, close to home, on the list

Vir Sanghvi's Restaurants

This year’s awards come with the same qualifications as always. These are not the most popular restaurants in Delhi.

They may not even be – on an objective basis – the city’s best restaurants. But, for better or for worse, these are the places I go to.  And the personal awards are for the people who have impressed me most over the last year.

1. Best Chinese (Hotel restaurant): The China Kitchen, Hyatt Regency.

Ever since it opened half a decade ago, China Kitchen has rewritten all the rules for Chinese restaurants in India. Created by global Hyatt chefs along the lines of the chain’s successful restaurants in mainland China, the outlet broke with tradition by staffing its kitchen with a brigade of chefs from the People’s Republic. While this led to language problems and some initial confusion, it also provided an authentically Chinese experience.

   The menu (especially under the current chef) leans towards the spicy food of Hunan and Sichuan but the restaurant’s stand-out dish remains the same: a killer Peking Duck, with skin and meat so good that you should really eat them on their own without bothering with the pancake.

2. Best Chinese (Standalone) : Royal China, Nehru Place.

The Royal China group in London is a loose federation of separately owned properties, some of which are very good and some of which are just so-so. It is the same in India. The two Bombay Royal Chinas opened well but have slid into dull mediocrity. The Delhi outpost, on the other hand, has different owners from the Bombay branches and standards remain high.

   The restaurant’s strengths remain the dim sum brunch and the quality of the cooking. Its weakness remains the location: an ugly office block in Nehru Place. But prices are reasonable for food of this quality and, so far at least, Royal China has successfully negotiated the fine line between serving authentic Chinese food and giving Delhi’s Punjabis what they want.

3. Best India (traditional): Bukhara, ITC.
