Sustainable Escapade Unveiled: Eco-Friendly Sanctuary Nestled on Aravalli Fringe in Rajasthan
Nestled on the fringes of the Sariska Tiger Reserve and cradled by the ancient Aravalli Hills, Sariska Lodge offers a unique blend of luxury and sustainability. This exquisite lodge, created by Anand Shekhawat and Puneet Jain, is a testament to their commitment to sustainability, community, and meaningful hospitality.
Sariska Lodge spans 15 acres of thoughtfully restored forestland, providing a sanctuary for over 15,000 native trees, plants, and grasses. This verdant oasis has been carefully cultivated to revive the soil and nurture a thriving micro-ecosystem.
The lodge's architecture draws inspiration from British-era forest rest houses and Rajasthani hunting lodges, with reclaimed wood, local stone, and earth-toned interiors adorned with carved jaalis, leather accents, and natural materials. The result is a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern luxury.
Sariska Lodge features 11 private suites, a dedicated restaurant, open-air dining and bar, organic gardens, quiet outdoor spaces, a serene pool, wellness centre, and an in-house stable-home to the majestic horses of Ashwalaya.
Guests can explore the park on horseback, enjoy hilltop picnics, visit ancient temples, or meet local artisans in nearby villages. For those seeking a closer encounter with the reserve's abundant wildlife, Sariska Lodge offers direct access to the Sariska Tiger Reserve, home to Tigers, Leopards, Hyenas, Jackals, Sloth Bears, wild cats, deer, and over 200 bird species.
Dining at Sariska Lodge is rooted in a farm-to-table philosophy, with meals prepared using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients-including harvests from the lodge's organic garden. The lodge's contact number is 91 94611 14100, and the website can be found at www.sariskalodge.com.
