Aranyawas appears to have
almost grown naturally such is
the sympathy with which it has
been built in relation to the
surrounding countryside.
Typical of our attitude is "Why
cut a tree down to make way for
a path, when the path can curve
around it ?"
Aranyawas is set in a wild,
mountain valley, hidden away
from the outside world. The
natural terrain is formed of
rugged mountainside with
outcrops of rock and indigenous
forest. We have tamed a small
part of it with orchards of
guava, various types of mango,
awla, cherry, lychee, lime,
orange, pomegranate and chikoo
trees. There are also apricots
and figs, all of which thrive in
the microclimate of the area,
which is cooler than the
lowlands and enjoys a summer
maximum temperature of 30
degrees, though the winter
nighttime temperature can drop
to almost freezing point. Visit
us to rejuvenate your mind, body
and soul. |

the countryside, our bedrooms

style, with gentle, rustic
colours and simple, elegant

no compromise has been made to
comfort. Each room contains an
en-suite bathroom and a walk-in
dressing room. Every also enjoys
a glorious valley view; the
cottages have the added benefit
of a large covered balcony. The
utter tranquility, other than
birdsong during the day and the
chirping of crickets by night,
ensures a peaceful, relaxing
stay.

Dining - Our Multicuisine
Restaurant (seating up to a
hundred people) offers a wide
variety of vegetarian
specialties, including our
regional 'Thali'.
You may prefer to dine in the
rooftop restaurant with its
panoramic vistas, or in the
privacy of your own terrace.
Or how about a romantic
tête-à-tête or a private meal in
the shade of a huge Banyan tree?
Most relaxing of all, we can
prepare a picnic in a forest
clearing or by the stream.
Aranyawas is about nature, and
this extends to the policies as
well as the practical issues.
Our home-grown organic fruit and
vegetables are for the
restaurant and you can drink
milk from our very own dairy
herd. Aranyawas is about 'green'
and is totally vegetarian. |
