Aramness Gir National Park

Wonderful serene resort and attentive staff. The resort was in the middle of the forest making it a unique experience. The decor , comforts and the dining was wonderful! Wild life sights possible from this place and visit to the Maldhari village an added bonus

My stay at Aramness Lodge was one of the best luxury safari experiences I’ve had in India in a long time. While the jungle and its wildlife remain unpredictable—whether you spot lions or not—the thrill of the safari is unmatched. However, what truly made this trip exceptional was the lodge itself and its incredible staff, who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for my family and me. This trip was particularly special as it was my 10-year-old daughter’s first introduction to the wilderness, and Aramness provided her with the perfect blend of nature, culture, and luxury. Nestled in Gujarat’s rich heritage, the lodge offered us so much more than just safaris. Daily activities such as pottery, nature walks, and exploring the resort kept all of us—my wife, daughter, and me—engaged. The well-equipped gym and the beautifully maintained gardens were additional highlights. A special mention must go to the food and beverage team, who consistently delivered culinary excellence. Whether it was homemade comfort food or a more elaborate gourmet spread, they catered to every request (with a little notice) and exceeded all expectations. Staying for six days, we genuinely felt like we were leaving home away from home by the end of our visit. Parikshit, the lodge’s general manager, deserves a heartfelt shout-out. His leadership, deep knowledge of the jungle, and genuine care for his guests set the gold standard for hospitality. Another standout was our butler, Manik, who anticipated our needs before we even thought of them. From coordinating meals to handling laundry and turndown services, his proactive and attentive approach allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our time. The naturalists—Kopal, Aamir and Sowmya —were equally exceptional. Their passion and expertise shone through every safari, nature walk, and village visit. They patiently answered my daughter’s endless questions with kindness and enthusiasm, making the experience both educational and enjoyable for her. Our New Year’s Eve celebration was the perfect way to conclude our stay. With local musicians, a bonfire under the stars, and subtle lighting from traditional kerosene lamps, the night felt magical. The unplugged music and warm atmosphere created unforgettable memories. To everyone at Aramness Lodge, thank you for making this stay extraordinary. You’ve set a new benchmark for hospitality, and we can’t wait to return.

If you are looking for a calming getaway and spending time with nature, Aramness is the place to be. Nestled in the middle of gir forest, it is a perfect spot to just unwind and enjoy the peace. Personal staff is allocated to each villa (or kothi) who really go out of the way to give you the best experience. The hospitality is amazing and the food by the chefs is superb! The place is designed like a dream, and one can spend hours in their library. Every night they create a curated experience for the guests - we loved the Italian and Gujrati nights! It’s definitely a must visit!! (Recommend the October to December period for cooler weather)
