Are you looking for a truly unique and unforgettable getaway? Imagine yourself transported back to the Stone Age, surrounded by cave-like structures that house everything from your room to the dining area. That’s the experience offered at Brys Caves, a resort nestled in the Mohaan region of Jim Corbett National Park. Join us as we delve into a detailed review of this fascinating property, exploring its pros, cons, and overall value.

Location, Location, Location: A Remote Retreat

Brys Caves shares a similar remote location with other nearby properties like Paatlidun and Saraca. This means you’ll need to park your car about 3 kilometers away and rely on a 4×4 vehicle to navigate the rugged terrain to the resort. This adds to the adventure and creates a sense of seclusion.

  • Pro: Close proximity to National Park gates like Durga Devi and the Mohaan gate.
  • Con: Lack of rivers like Kosi and Ramganga flowing nearby.
  • Score: 18/20 (deducted points for the absence of nearby rivers).

Cave-Themed Rooms: A Variety of Options

Brys Caves offers three categories of cave-themed rooms, each with its own unique features:

  • Deluxe Cave: A basic room with a washroom, bathtub, and a small balcony with limited views. Room size is decent, but the wear and tear is noticeable.
  • Executive Cave: Offers a private seating area, a living area, a bedroom, and a washroom with a Jacuzzi. More spacious and suitable for families of four.
  • Family Suite Cave: Features two double beds within a large cave structure that also houses the restaurant and play area. Located on the second floor with no elevator, which might be inconvenient for some.
  • Score: 16/20 (factoring in space, wear and tear, and accessibility).

Pricing and Value: Negotiate for the Best Deal

The price points at Brys Caves vary depending on the room category and meal plan:

  • Deluxe Cave: Around ₹10,000, including breakfast and taxes.
  • Executive Cave: Around ₹20,000 with all meals included.

  • Score: 18/20 (competitive pricing compared to similar properties in the area).

Activities and Entertainment: A Mix of Old and New

Brys Caves offers a range of activities, including:

  • Table tennis
  • Pool
  • Snooker table (though the equipment may show signs of wear and tear)
  • A unique discotheque, open from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM. This offers a different experience for those who enjoy dancing with family or friends.

While the activities are available, some may feel dated or poorly maintained.

  • Score: 15/20 (considering the availability of activities but factoring in the condition of the equipment).

Food and Overall Experience: A Focus on Engagement

While we didn’t eat at the resort during out recent visit, we drew upon our previous experience to assess the food and overall experience.

  • Hi- tea is offered daily with engaging games for both children and adults. The resort often has good occupancy, suggesting a positive overall experience for many guests.

If you’re looking for a unique cave-like experience, Brys Caves might be a good choice, especially if you have young children. However, if you prioritize luxury, tranquility, and lush greenery, other properties in the area might be a better fit.

  • Score: 15/20 (based on past experience and the engagement offered during high tea).

Final Verdict: A Decent Score for a Unique Experience

Based on the PMFT 100 evaluation, Brys Caves receives an overall score of 82/100.

  • Unique Selling Point (USP): The cave experience, transporting guests back to the Stone Age.
  • Potential Drawback: The claustrophobic feeling that some guests might experience.

Conclusion: Is Brys Caves Right for You?

Brys Caves offers a distinctive and memorable stay in Jim Corbett National Park. Its cave-themed rooms and unique atmosphere set it apart from other resorts in the area.
