ARAMNESS, GIR NATIONAL PARK

THE ASIATIC LION

On the fringes of Sasan Gir National Park, the last remaining refuge of the Asiatic lion, Aramness has taken the luxury wilderness experience in India to new heights.

Modelled after a traditional Gujurati village, respect for the natural environment is at the heart of this lodge. The 18 suites – beautiful sanctuaries with vast bathrooms and shaded courtyards –

were built with reclaimed stone and wood from local villages. The swimming pool was designed after the step-wells of Gujurat, whilst the sandstone towers of the main haveli were hand-carved by local masons. Delicious Indian fare is at the heart of the dining experience, with meals served outdoors under twinkling lanterns.

As well as being the only place outside of Africa where a lion can be seen in its natural habitat, forays into Gir National Park will also introduce you to a myriad of elusive wild animals and birds – think leopards, Gir foxes, Asiatic wild ass, spotted chital, pygmy woodpecker and the brown fish owl.
