Aranyak Resort

ur stay at Aranyak was truly a blessing in disguise. We had originally booked another property in Bandhavgarh, but it did not meet our expectations. At the last minute, we found Aranyak and managed to book 6 rooms ’ and honestly, it turned out to be the best decision of our trip.From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine warmth and hospitality that we instantly felt at home. The entire team was incredibly courteous and attentive. What stood out the most was how they went out of their way to accommodate our specific food preferences ’ every meal was freshly prepared as per our requirements, and each one exceeded our expectations.The owners are personally involved and that makes all the difference. They and their family were always around, constantly checking in to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Whether it was arranging safaris, coordinating timings, or helping with small requests, everything was handled seamlessly and with a smile.It’s rare to find a place where hospitality feels so personal and heartfelt. Aranyak is not just a stay ’ it’s an experience filled with warmth, care, and genuine kindness.Highly, highly recommended for anyone visiting Bandhavgarh. We will definitely be back.

Aranyak Resort is a lovely place with cosy ,comfortable cottages, excellent food and wonderful staff.My husband and I spent three days there and everything was well organised including two private jungle Safaris,pick up from Khajuraho and drop off at Jabalpur.Ram and Rishi are wonderful people and Rohit is positive and energetic.We have visited many National Parks and Reserves in India from Corbett to Thekkady but Aranyak and Bandhavgarh were exceptional and will remain in our hearts.Thanks to Aranyak for their super hospitality and all the best. We do hope to be back.Urmila and Sumanta Chakraborty .PS Milan, who manages the restaurant really made us feel at home.

Had a wonderful stay at Aranyak Resort near Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India.. Beautiful forest-like property very close to the reserve ’ safari pickups are easy from the parking area. The owners, Ram and Ketaki, are extremely warm and personally interact with guests, which adds a lovely homely touch.Rooms (we stayed in a twin suite cottage) were spacious, clean, and well-equipped. Bathroom and shower systems worked perfectly. The unique open-to-the-stars outdoor shower is a fantastic experience.Great food, lovely high tea after evening safari, and buffet dinner. The property has many relaxing spaces ’ bonfire areas, hammocks, swings, nature trails, and a pool ’ perfect even if you skip a safari and just want to enjoy the forest vibe.Only small drawback: no Wi-Fi in rooms and mobile network can be slow, though connectivity is available near the office area.Overall, a fantastic stay. Would definitely recommend and come back!’’ Instagram:@wild_wonders_with_sushanta@natures_wonders_with_sushanta’’ YouTube: @wild_wonders_with_sushanta

Our stay at Aranyak Resort, Bandhavgarh was nothing short of exceptional and truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, Mr. Ram, the owner, took personal care of us’right from picking us up at the station to ensuring a smooth and warm farewell when we left. His hospitality is heartfelt and makes you feel instantly comfortable.The stay was extremely comfortable, and every little detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Since we had early morning safaris, the team made sure our breakfast was packed and ready every single day without fail’such a thoughtful gesture!The staff deserves a special mention. Always smiling, polite, and eager to help, they made our stay even more pleasant. The overall atmosphere of the resort is warm and homely, something that’s hard to find.The chef was incredible! The food was absolutely delicious’fresh, scrumptious, and cooked with love. What stood out most was how the chef often discussed the menu with us and happily incorporated suggestions, making each meal feel personalized.Traveling with kids (aged 5 and 1) can be challenging, but Aranyak made it a joy. Our kids had a blast! The staff went out of their way to help arrange a toy room and even played with them, keeping them happy and engaged throughout our stay.If you’re looking for a place that offers comfort, care, great food, and genuine hospitality in Bandhavgarh, Aranyak Resort is hands down the best choice. Highly recommended’we can’t wait to visit again!
