The newly opened Aamaghati Wildlife Resort, located on the edge of Ranthambore National Park, is now open and ready for guests who are looking for a unique and adventure-filled vacation experience. Additionally, Zones 6 to 10 are open for safari during the monsoon season.
Situated in one of India’s most renowned wildlife sanctuaries, the resort promises an exceptional blend of outdoor excitement and lavish comfort. Named after the picturesque mango tree-lined ravine in the heart of the Ranthambore Sanctuary, Aamaghati Wildlife Resort stands out for its proximity to the park, known for its thriving tiger population. Visitors can expect an extraordinary stay, combining thrilling wildlife encounters with top-tier amenities and services. While winter remains the peak tourist season, Aamaghati offers a magical experience year-round. The monsoon months transform the freshly bathed forest into a lush, green paradise, providing a unique and captivating atmosphere for guests.
Moored in the rich historical and cultural heritage of the region, Aamaghati Wildlife Resort reflects the legacy of the Chauhan kings of Ranthambore. Thoughtful details throughout the resort, such as naming the bar Johra Bohra and the restaurant Badal Mahal, pay homage to the erstwhile liquor cellars, granaries, and garrison dining hall of the fort. These elements weave the history and legends of the fort into the very fabric of the resort.
Abhishek Hissaria, Managing Director of Aamaghati Resort said, “A unique aspect of the 5.3-acre resort is its conceptualization by the pioneers of Mud Architecture, the late Revathi and Vasant Kamath. They utilized a special technique involving mud, cow dung, and lime plaster, along with thatch roofs and bamboo details, minimizing cement usage throughout the resort. The layout replicates the zones of Ranthambore National Park, capturing the essence of the forest. Built on an elevated platform, the resort offers a 360-degree view of the surroundings. Every part of the resort is wheelchair accessible, making Aamaghati a perfect choice for multi-generational families.”
Accommodations are available in four categories: Evoke, Elegant, Legacy Suite, and Signature Suite. All rooms overlook the scenic Aravali mountains and offer both comfort and luxury. Each room is named after a famous Ranthambore tiger, adding a touch of local charm. Guests can stay in rooms named Mr. Bond, Sundari, or Charger, with each room number starting with ‘T’ (e.g., T-17), mirroring how the tigers of Ranthambore are identified. The ambience reflects a traditional village house with bamboo and wicker roofs and teak logs, while providing the highest quality amenities. At sunrise, guests can enjoy stunning views of the forest and wake up to the delightful sound of chirping birds. Given Aamaghati’s focus on wildlife experiences, especially early morning jungle safaris, the best suite features two bathrooms to allow couples to prepare quickly for their adventures.
“Our resort is an ideal choice for intimate events, including weddings and other special occasions. A unique feature of Aamaghati is our separate kitchens for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, ensuring the purity of our vegetarian menu. Of course, local Rajasthani cuisine is a specialty,” added Hissaria.
Designed with sustainable architecture, the resort utilizes mud plaster, saving five percent of total energy consumption. Carbon footprints are minimized, and water conservation maximized. Plastic usage is minimized with glass bottles provided for guests, and the resort operates its own water bottling plant. ESTP plants and natural rivulets recharge groundwater, while treated wastewater sustains greenery. These initiatives establish Aamaghati as the region’s leading sustainable resort.
