In a revolutionary step, Aramness Gir is poised to transform the landscape of wildlife adventure, extending the excitement beyond the renowned big cats of Central India. With the opening of Gir National Park in October, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to witness the captivating journey of the Asiatic lions, flourishing in numbers exceeding 600. Gir stands as the exclusive destination outside Africa where these majestic creatures roam freely in their natural habitat.

The Forest Department’s introduction of 40 specially designed Bolero jeeps introduces a new dimension to the safari experience, assuring guests at Aramness Gir an enriched journey into the heart of the natural world. Teaming up with expert naturalists as guides, visitors will not only witness remarkable wildlife sightings but also gain a profound understanding of the conservation efforts shaping the jungle’s inhabitants, particularly the iconic Asiatic lions.

Nestled on the periphery of Gir National Park, Aramness Gir is a testament to the collaboration between Nicholas Plewman Architects and Fox Browne Creative, renowned for their work on luxury African lodges. The eco-village-styled lodge offers a sublime blend of traditional and contemporary elements, featuring 18 elegant kothis with private plunge pools that offer breathtaking views of the jungle.

Parikshit Rathore, Lodge Manager, expresses, “Our guests will luxuriate in the comfort of these newly introduced customized jeeps and the expertise of our naturalists, creating an immersive experience. Beyond the Asiatic lions, Gir National Park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including leopards, chousingha, striped hyena, civets, mongoose, and over 300 bird species. Aramness Gir is dedicated to providing a safari experience that transcends the ordinary, ensuring encounters with nature are not only memorable but deeply enriching.”

Aramness Gir extends an invitation to adventurers to embark on an unforgettable journey, where the conservation legacy of the Asiatic lions converges with the lap of luxury. The season promises an unparalleled blend of authenticity and opulence, setting the stage for a unique wildlife odyssey with Aramness Gir’s storytellers of conservation and recovery.
