Beyond the
Resort Gates.
Silent morning electric boat excursions on Lake Pichola, private architecture walkthroughs, terracotta workshops, and ridge sunset walks.
Dawn Wooden Boat Excursion
Depart from ARANYA’s private jetty before sunrise. Sip hot ginger cardamom tea aboard a restored teak boat while observing waterbirds, ghats, and palace silhouettes reflected on mirror-like water.
Carved Stone Architecture Walk
Join our resident architect to explore the retreat’s design philosophy, stone sourcing from local quarries, traditional cooling corridors, and historic jali screen lattice work.
Terracotta & Earthen Pottery Studio
Shape local red clay on traditional kick-wheels in our shady courtyard studio. Learn traditional smoothing techniques and keep your fired ceramic vessel as a memory.
Aravalli Hill Ridge Sunset Hike
A moderate late-afternoon walk through native neem and teak forests leading up to a dramatic rocky outcrop. Conclude with a chilled glass of wine and quiet sunset vistas.
