Aranyak Resort

*Discover the Hidden Gem of Bandhavgarh: 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

The management and staff was extremely sweet and friendly. Food was absolutely amazing, my family and I loved all three meals there. They provided a lovely bonfire and some local activities as well for entertainment. Rooms were clean and comfortable too. Overall an incredible stay and experience, would recommend.

Excellent property, very aesthetically done, personal touch and interest from owners is the high point of this resort, and above all the simple yet delicious food and the warmth of the service staff was the best. We loved it & you have earned a lifetime patronage

I was very happy with the hospitality of the resort. The rooms were well kept. The size of the room was large and well managed. The check-in at reception was smooth. I did not take any time to get the room and my luggage was shifted immediately. The ambience of the whole place was good. The bone fire in the evening was well arranged. The dinner at the resort was good but slightly expensive. Due to fixed order from occupants the management may look into it. Thank you for a great stay.

The property is great and the hospitality was fabulous. The rooms, food, service. All were exemplary. The cost of food seems to be exporbitant considering the profile of the property.

Excellent property and heartwarming hospitality.

Decent place. The rooms are comfortable with all amenities. The staff are cooperative. Serene atmosphere. Food is made on order as there were few guests. Hygienic tasty food. The restaurant staff mr. Hari is very active and provided everything with a smile.

Pleasant and comfortable stay. Cordial and polite staff. Food is excellent and services are promptly provided by the management.

It's a nice property, well maintained and very helpful & courteous staff. The manager Mr.Satish was very friendly & helpful. The food was average, not bad but needs improvement in terms of spread as well as quality. Rest everything was perfect.

Superb service and really hospitable staff. Food is absolutely amazing. Peaceful and cosy.

It was indeed a wonderful stay at aranyak, true to its name, a serene rustic environment but with modern facilities. Staff is very very helpful and does extra efforts in making the stay memorable. The food is awesome. The chef is well trained at many premium hotels across the country. We had an issue at the safari booking, which was quickly and amicably sorted out by mr rishi and mr satish, they were ready to help even at 5 am. I would suggest no other place at bandhavgarh

They didn’t give me power backup electricity was not available they said we don’t switch on generator in day it is only for night very rude behaviour of reception boy. Food is also not to good. Very poor and late service they give morning tea in 1:30 hours after order. To many dogs in resort always sitting outside the rooms and barking always. They do not have any drivers accommodation and talking rude to driver even my driver is not allowed in resort strict action should be taken against them otherwise mmt name will be getting worst day by day. Tv was not working. They do not have sense to talk with there guest we are really upset from this resort.

Pros 1. Hotel location is good 2. The rooms are good 3. Should be well kept during the season 4. The chef is good cons 1. Service is very poor during off season 2. Limited food options available during off season 3. Intermittent power failure due to continuous maintenance work 4. Wifi not working properly 5. Too many dogs on the property

Overall look is good but not good for kids and sport lovers as there is no play zone for kids and there is no sport complex. Restaurant is not good for family as they allow liquor and party in restaurant which hamper other guests.

Food was good and felt like home food, hygiene could be improved as there was a dead frog when we checked in our room, and room was dusty.

This property is well maintained and all facilities are there, they also arrange for safaris. The staff is also very courteous

Good hygienic stay. Very cooperative staff and well located.

Had a comfortable stay. The manager went out of the way to book Tatkal safari tickets. All staff was friendly and helpful. Staff strength however looked inadequate. The open area needed more maintenance

This is to share that we have just had a mesmerizing trip to Bandhavgarh from 30th November to 2nd December 2019. We had 4 safaris where we cited a lot of wild animals including tiger. But the stay at Aranyak made our days even more colorful and satisfying. The services at the hotel, right from the food, room services, arranging and booking gypsies for the safaris, cleaning the rooms twice a day with every refilling done on time even before asking I am falling short of words in praising Aranyak in its approach towards making their stay at the hotel a truly remarkable one. The hotel manager Mr. Siddhartha Ghosh and Satish were great help and cordial and they ensured all the services were delivered picture-perfect. The position of the hotel is very near to the ticket counter/Tala gate, making it easily accessible.

We stayed for one night. Rooms were comfortable each guest having own villa. Bathroom even had a open shower area. Food was tasty but had few options.
