Aramness Information

Aramness Gir National Park is Jimmy Patel’s vision for a lodge that encapsulates the essence of Gujarat. The birth of a new Indian safari experience, it is a village-style lodge entrenched in the local culture, designed with authenticity and luxury in equal measure as well as a wildlife experience that rewrites the script. Our name is the hybrid of two Gujarati words: aram (peace/rest) and ness (local village) and representing a unique vision for a village-style lodge. Look closely at our logo and you’ll see the antlers of the spotted chital deer – one of our resident forest dwellers – as well as the taara (star) that guides guests on their journey of connection to this place. Ours is the only boutique lodge that borders the Sasan Gir National Park. Here, the last remaining Asiatic lions in the world coexist with the semi-nomadic Maldhari tribe. Supporting these rare lions and respecting their natural habitat is an honour and a privilege.
