Aranyak Resort

Tucked away near the Tala zone of Bandhavgarh, Aranyak Resort is a true hidden gem, managed and owned by the warm and welcoming husband-wife duo who personally reside on the property. This enchanting retreat spans over 12 acres of lush, forested land, adorned with majestic Mahua and Sal trees, offering a tranquil escape within the vicinity of Bandhavgarh National Park. We checked in on January 28, 2025, and indulged in a blissful 3-day stay in a Premium Cottage. The room was generously spacious, featuring a charming front verandah that opened up to the serene surroundings. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and spacious, equipped with modern amenities such as a shower cubicle, and hot and cold water mixers for the bath and basin. The culinary experience at Aranyak was nothing short of exquisite. The food was delectably delicious, and the service was outstanding. The staff were not only polite but also incredibly helpful. We were especially touched by the personal attention of Ms. Ketki Tripathi, the owner, who made it a point to inquire about our well-being during our stay. As the sun set and the cold nights enveloped us, the resort came alive with the warmth of bonfires, accompanied by an array of delectable snacks, soft drinks, and mocktails available on order. Lunch and dinner were served à la carte, offering a delightful variety of multi-cuisine options that catered to every palate. In conclusion, Aranyak is an exceptional forest retreat, perfect for those seeking a wilderness getaway paired with thrilling tiger safaris. It comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious 4-star wildlife resort experience

Aranyak in bandhavgarh is my all time favorite resort, close to mother nature with the most sincere caretakers. All the amenities are not second to any other 5 star hotel I have ever been to. In a nutshell, its a holiday with healing. Looking forward to another trip very soon. Highly recommended for family and friends.

We had a pleasant stay at Aranyak. The place is comfortable, attractive and the people are warm and lovely, from the wait staff (special thanks to Hari Om) to the *** who made bonfires for us in the evening. Our host Ram was very hospitable and accommodating. The food is good but on the rich side. The Indian desserts however - kheer, gajar halva - were outstanding. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience !! Delicious, complete and diversity meals! Excellent services, Staff attention always ready to help. In the restaurant every time close to offer or proactively assist. Rooms very spacious and clean , good bed, bathrooms with hot water .

Beautiful resort, good rooms, well maintained property. After the harrowing experience we had at another resort in Bandhavgarh (check my reviews for more), this was an awesome stay. The property is well maintained, we roamed around in the property, relaxed on the benches, swings. The rooms are good as well, very well structured and thoughtfully laid out. We had a full board plan and all meals were very tasty.

A trip to Bandhavgarh was more than waking up each day to get on a safari, walk the trails and explore the peaceful retreat. It was the comfort of being at home away from home… yes you heard it right. Aranyak is not a resort or a hotel but a home stay where you can return to simplicity and soul. I felt nurtured, treated, pampered, loved, cared, in every sense of being. The warm sunshine smiles wrapped with courteousness enveloped me in the most hospitable experience. Their impeccable ways of ensuring every day is experiential and sustainable is a testament to being grounded and carrying this lovely relationship beyond the boundaries of the stay. I have yet to experience anything better amongst the finest forest retreat resorts than what was served on our platter; be it food, facilities, activities, room, extended support and so much more in the most sustainable way. My bestest wishes to our dearest hosts, Ram, his beautiful wife, Ketki, their furry pets, Hunter and Jenny for introducing us to this divine haven and deep gratitude to the caretakers(the staff members)… Whole heartedly recommend a stay here. Ours was from 23rd - 27th Dec ‘24
