Tanhau is the home of Sunando, a banker, entrepreneur & startup enthusiast. Having always had a deep passion for animals & nature, & a deep love for Corbett, it was my long standing dream to move away from city life & make the forests & mountains my home.

So Tanhau was born out of this desire to find peace away from the concrete jungles that our cities are, and to live a sustainable life contributing to wildlife conservation. Tanhau is a way of life – simple, peaceful & in harmony with nature. My partner & I are completely committed to leaving a minimal carbon footprint, as well making a positive impact on the local communities and forests.

Far away from the umpteen large resorts in Corbett, located on top of a hill at an altitude of ~4,300 feet, Tanhau overlooks the reserve forests of Corbett Tiger Reserve & the winding Kosi river, & has arguably the most spectacular views in the Corbett area. When I acquired the land though, it was completely barren. We are in a constant process of reforesting the property and surroundings, and have planted more than 2,500 trees. We run almost entirely on solar both for electricity as well as water heating, meet a large part of our water needs through rain water harvesting, compost our waste and employ only locals.

Our staff is like our family, and we are lucky to have them with us. Our most important family members are our 6 dogs though. We also have more than 40 hens, 6 ducks and a guinea fowl at last count.
