Aranyak Resort

I was provided a good to go breakfast everyday for my early morning safaris.

Nothing

We had a fantastic stay at Aranyak Resort. Ram had contacted me already before about the tiger safaris and was incredibly accommodating with all our wishes. In the end he managed to book us last minute tours to all the core zones and we had amazing sightings. Ram and his wife are so welcoming and kind which really shows in their staff too. Everybody was so kind and helpful. The food was delicious and the kitchen staff made sure there was plenty of fruit available for every meal for my kids. Our favorite was tea time around a fire before every dinner with homemade samosas and lots of cookies. The resort is huge with lots of different places to hang out. We loved the ping pong table in the air conditioned games room. I can only recommend staying here and if we are ever lucky enough to come back we definitely will.

Can’t think of anything

Food was great. Staff very friendly.

Lighting in common areas to be improved. Pathway to the restaurant was dark. Room should have more plug points to charge batteries for camera, mobile, laptop etc. Plug points were less and not conveniently located.

Very good food everyday. We stayed for 5 days and it was always new dishes. Service was really good.

It was a bit cold in the room during nights, but we got a heater that helped. (It was in winter, so one can expect it.)

Fantastic staff. Great amenities - we loved the badminton Very well organised safari

Perfect location, next to the national park, tranquill garden, absolutly professional staff

Our 4-night stay at Aranyak Bandhavgarh was nothing short of exceptional. The personalized and homely atmosphere is what sets this resort apart. Ram Sharma and his wife Ketki are incredible hosts who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They pay attention to every detail and fulfil every request with genuine warmth and care. The food deserves special mention—every dish we tried was authentic, perfectly prepared, and balanced, with no excess oil or spice. It truly felt like homemade comfort food crafted with love. Adding to the charm were their friendly dogs, Hunter and Jenny, who made the experience even more delightful. The staff also deserves applause for their courteous and helpful demeanor. Their “never say no” attitude, coupled with the ability to remember your preferences even after just one mention, makes the service outstanding. Aranyak Bandhavgarh is more than just a resort; it’s an experience that feels like home. If you’re planning a trip to Bandhavgarh, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

Most comfortable place I have stayed in India. I felt extremely welcome from all of the staff at the hotel and they really try and make your stay as great as it possibly can be. They organised for transfers from Katni station, my tiger safari and dropped me to the bus stop upon my departure. The food from the restaurant was delicious (one of my favourite meals I’ve had in India) and they packed me a breakfast to take with me on Safari. The room was very comfortable and extremely clean. The hotel manager even checked up on me to make sure I got to my next location safely.

Not sure where they got the picture of the pool but I definitely didn’t see one while I was there.

Property was very nice and staff was helpful. Ram from the property was very supportive and informative for local sightings

Staying at this incredible jungle retreat was nothing short of magical. The property is an enchanting blend of rustic village charm and modern comfort, with thoughtful detailing that truly captures the essence of sustainable luxury. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary place. Every corner of the property showcased a keen eye for detail — from the earthy decor crafted with local materials to the warm, inviting lighting that perfectly complemented the natural surroundings. Even the smallest elements, like handwoven baskets and handmade pottery, added to the authentic village atmosphere. The commitment to sustainability was apparent in every aspect of our stay. The meals, which were an absolute highlight, celebrated local flavors and seasonal produce. Each dish was a masterpiece, prepared with care and bursting with freshness and flavor. Knowing that the ingredients were sourced responsibly made the dining experience even more fulfilling. Despite being nestled deep in the jungle, the accommodations were incredibly comfortable. The eco-friendly design blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings, offering both privacy and a sense of connection to nature. Falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the jungle was a rare treat, and waking up to birdsong felt like a dream. The staff deserves special mention for their hospitality. They went above and beyond to make sure every need was met while respecting our privacy. Their passion for creating a memorable experience was evident in every interaction. This retreat is a haven for those looking to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature in the most authentic and thoughtful way. It’s a place where luxury meets sustainability, and every moment feels curated with love and care. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable getaway!
