Aranyak Resort

I have been visiting Aranyak resort since last 6 years, hosting my clients on my photography tours here and I should say it is one of the best lodges in Bandhavgarh. The lodge offers some amazing service , hospitality, luxury all at the same time. The staff are extremely courteous and kind. They are well located admist the silence and you feel the experience of being in nature. The Mahua trees in the property adds a fantastic fragrance. The meal spread is simple and tasty. The pool is well painted and the highlight is the Machaan dining which can be arranged as per the request. Mr Satish the ***ager is always up to address the tiniest of the requirement. Every single staff is good and helpful throughout the stay. The biggest onus is they also can arrange your jungle trips if notified before hand. I highly recommend Aranyak.

I was graciously welcomed to Aranyak on my second visit there. The staff was wonderful, and I loved my room - especially the outdoor shower. Milan in the dining room even remembered my food preferences from my last visit. ***ager Satish was always available for any questions or requests and was very helpful in getting my safaris booked in advance. I hope to visit again.

Our family of 4 stayed for 4 nights…we had a wonderful time. From the minute we arrived we were welcomed in like family. Everyone genuinely showed us so much kindness! The food was great! We don’t eat spicy food so Milan made sure that we had food that we liked. He made our food special each meal for us! We went on safari and got to the Bengal Tiger! Aranyak booked our safaris for us. We had a trip of a lifetime and are thankful for the staff at Aranyak for making it an experience we will never forget. We will definitely be back!

Amidst the lush jungles of Bandhavgarh, Aranyak was like as a sanctuary of hospitality and warmth. The culinary delights and comfortable accommodations were an extraordinary element of this retreat. Having travelled solo, I was enveloped in a symphony of smiles and genuine care, thanks to Ram and his team. Their tireless efforts ensured that my every need was met with impeccable service and grace. Even the most mundane tasks were transformed into moments of delight by their unwavering kindness. The safaris, too, were an unforgettable adventure. Accompanied by Ram, who shared his understanding of the Bandhavgarh wilderness, I understood the majesty of tigers and the tapestry of life that unfolds within this ecosystem. I got to spot them too😁. The resort's setting, amidst lush jungle, offered serene walkways that invited leisurely strolls at dawn and dusk. I was delighted by the company of Hunter, a captivating Ger*** Shepherd whose playful antics added an unforgettable touch to my experience. Thank you Ram and the team at Aranyak, Bandhavgarh for this memorable stay. I look forward to coming back and reliving this beautiful experience again

Aranyak resort organized my safari permits and bookings within 24 hours of contacting. Also coordinated for transportation to and from the airport. The stay itself went smoothly as well, the room was very nice. Everything was easy and the staff were great as well

Very nice accommodation in and super service by the very friendly staff- extra thanks to restaurant ***ager Milan. Team also arranged takeaway breakfasts for our early morning departures into the jungle to search for tigers. Tasty food in the restaurant. Nice to sit by the fire in the evening.

We went there with friends and our kids, and had an awesome stay and time. Ram and his staff are very pleasant, courteous and attentive. Genuinely good staff. The food was very good too. Our kids enjoyed the food, so that says something about the food they serve. Very good property and closer to Tala gate. Ram helped us with all the safari bookings etc. Look no further if you are looking for a great stay which gives you value for money like no other. Thank you Ram and his team! We had a memorable trip.

If you're planning your trip to Bandhavgarh, look no place other than Aranyak, for you'll only return with a pleasant stay. Since 2019, I've been frequent to Bandhavgarh and also at Aranyak. It's truly a home away from home for me. So ***y years and I've only seen the team enhancing my stay experience each year. From the comfortable rooms to lip smacking food, the serene beauty of the resort, and most importantly the warmth of the staff, everything about Aranyak has always been on point. This week I stayed there with friends for three nights. My friends visited Aranyak for the first time and I knew they'd be in swe of the place. When they did tell me that it's a very good property, it did feel like a personal compliment. One of the things I really need to mention is about the food and the kitchen staff. I've always been a fan of their fruit custard, dal makhni, and egg gravy, so when I was here this time around, i had to ask Hariram Ji to get it made for me. Despite it being a late minute request, he ensured that he served it to me for dinner. That's Aranyak for you -- they fulfill their guests' requests, come what may. Lastly, I can't thank enough to Mr. Rishi Bhatt for always making us at home, and for the lovely conversations about wildlife we always end up having. A big shout out to Ram also - a young mind taking care of the property and how. Also, don't forget playing with Hunter and the other Aranyak puppies.

We stayed with Aranyak in March 2023 and did 4 safaris in Bandhavgadh. It was a lovely stay with large rooms and bathrooms. The staff was very accommodative to our requests and ensured a good stay. Food was largely Indian, however, both veg and non veg food was delicious and all our attempts to eat less, were of no use. There is a pool in the resort, was very cold, owing to the weather in the Month, however, would have been great to use in the warmer weather. The resort is near the Tala gate, however, other gates are not more than 15 mins away.
